Paradigm releases Rivet, open source developer wallet and tools for EVM-based chains

Paradigm has released Rivet, an open‑source, free developer wallet and tooling suite aimed at improving frontend development on Ethereum and other EVM-based chains. Rivet is shipped as a browser extension and is currently in alpha, with code published under the MIT license and open for contribution and forking. It is designed to plug into standard Ethereum development workflows, especially when working against local nodes such as Anvil, and to sit alongside consumer wallets like MetaMask rather than replace them. Rivet functions both as a developer-focused wallet and as DevTools similar in spirit to browser or React DevTools. It allows developers to connect to any Ethereum dApp, manage multiple addresses, sign and submit transactions and messages, and view transaction history, while also exposing advanced capabilities to inspect, debug, modify, and manipulate the state of a local Ethereum node, including accounts, blocks, contracts, and the node itself. Through support for EIP‑6963 multi-injected provider discovery, Rivet can coexist with mainstream browser wallets, enabling developers to simulate actions from accounts on an Anvil instance or impersonate other accounts on the network while interacting with production dApps. This makes Rivet part of Paradigm’s broader open-source tooling ecosystem for EVM-based chains, intended to streamline dApp development and experimentation.
