# ethers-contract Type-safe abstractions for interacting with Ethereum smart contracts. Interacting with a smart contract requires broadcasting carefully crafted [transactions](ethers_core::types::TransactionRequest) where the `data` field contains the [function's selector](https://ethereum.stackexchange.com/questions/72363/what-is-a-function-selector) along with the arguments of the called function. This module provides the [`Contract`] and [`ContractFactory`] abstractions so that you do not have to worry about that. It also provides typesafe bindings via the [`abigen`] macro and the [`Abigen` builder]. For more information, please refer to the [book](https://gakonst.com/ethers-rs).
