Hey 👋

If you like working with ic-js in the frontend...
Say hello to serverless canister functions in TypeScript ⚡️

Write backend logic using the same TypeScript you already love — now with:

• 💫 Built-in canister clients for the Internet Computer (ICP, ICRC, CMC, NNS, SNS...)
• ⚙️ Full type-safety
• 🔌 Zero agent setup
• 🧠 Caller identity handled automatically
• 🍱 ICP & ICRC transfers from serverless hooks

No Rust required. No backend headaches.

Example​

Transfer ICP directly from a Satellite serverless function:

import { IcpLedgerCanister } from "@junobuild/functions/canisters/ledger/icp";

export const onExecute = async () => {
  const ledger = new IcpLedgerCanister();

  const result = await ledger.transfer({
    args: {
      to: "destination-account-identifier",
      amount: { e8s: 100_000_000n }, // 1 ICP
      fee: { e8s: 10_000n },
      memo: 0n
    }
  });
};

And yes - this works inside datastore hooks like onSetDoc and assertSetDoc, fully atomic.
