 For a more fine-grained control over the features you wish to include, you can add the individual crates to your `Cargo.toml` file, or use the `alloy` crate with the features you need.

+### Features
+
+The [`alloy`](https://github.com/alloy-rs/alloy/tree/main/crates/alloy) meta-crate defines a number of [feature flags](https://github.com/alloy-rs/alloy/blob/main/crates/alloy/Cargo.toml):
+
+Default
+
+- `std`
+- `reqwest`
+
+Full, a set of the most commonly used flags to get started with `alloy`.
+
+- `full`
+
+General
+- `consensus`
+- `contract`
+- `eips`
+- `genesis`
+- `network`
+- `node-bindings`
+
+Providers
+- `providers`
+- `provider-http`
+- `provider-ipc`
+- `provider-ws`
+
+RPC
+- `rpc`
+- `json-rpc`
+- `rpc-client`
+- `rpc-client-ipc`
+- `rpc-client-ws`
+- `rpc-types`
+- `rpc-types-admin`
+- `rpc-types-anvil`
+- `rpc-types-beacon`
+- `rpc-types-debug`
+- `rpc-types-engine`
+- `rpc-types-eth`
+- `rpc-types-json`
+- `rpc-types-trace`
+- `rpc-types-txpool`

+Signers

+- `signer-local`
+- `signer-trezor`
+- `signer-keystore`
+- `signer-mnemonic`
+- `signer-mnemonic-all-languages`
+- `signer-yubihsm`
+
+By default `alloy` uses [`reqwest`](https://crates.io/crates/reqwest) as HTTP client. Alternatively one can switch to [`hyper`](https://crates.io/crates/hyper).
+The `reqwest` and `hyper` feature flags are mutually exclusive.
+
+A full of available features can be found on [docs.rs](https://docs.rs/crate/alloy/latest/features) or in the [`alloy` crate's `Cargo.toml`](https://github.com/alloy-rs/alloy/blob/main/crates/alloy/Cargo.toml).
+
+The feature flags largely correspond with and enable features from the following individual crates.
