ethbacknode - Ethereum node wrapper for backend transaction workflows

by•
ethbacknode is an open-source backend service built to handle Ethereum transaction workflows beyond raw JSON-RPC. It sits between your backend and an Ethereum node, managing key handling, transaction lifecycle, monitoring, and callbacks. The project focuses on deterministic backend behavior rather than Web3 abstraction and is designed for payment systems, custodial services, and backend-heavy integrations. Built in Go, using embedded storage and IPC-first communication.

📌
We built ethbacknode after repeatedly running into the same issues when using Ethereum nodes inside backend systems: unclear transaction lifecycle, duplicated key management logic, polling-based monitoring, and brittle retry flows. This project doesn’t aim to replace Ethereum nodes or abstract Web3. It’s an attempt to formalize a backend-oriented pattern for transaction handling. We’d really appreciate feedback from engineers who’ve built similar systems or solved these problems differently - especially around edge cases and trade-offs.
