Overview:

The Web3 Starter Kit is a quick starter package that allows developers to build on both Ethereum and Polygon. It utilizes Next.js, Chakra-UI, Hardhat, Rainbow Wallet, and Wagmi. The kit provides an easy way to start building decentralized applications (dApps) by providing a set of tools and frameworks.

Features:

• Next.js: A popular framework for building React applications with server-side rendering.
• Chakra-UI: A customizable component library for building accessible and responsive user interfaces.
• Hardhat: A development environment for Ethereum that enables testing, debugging, and deploying smart contracts.
• Rainbow Wallet: A non-custodial Ethereum and Binance Smart Chain wallet with built-in decentralized finance (DeFi) integrations.
• Wagmi: A tool for generating smart contract wrappers that simplify interacting with Ethereum smart contracts.
• Ethereum.js: A library for interacting with the Ethereum blockchain using JavaScript.

Installation:

1. Make sure you have Node.js (version 16 LTS) installed, as well as Yarn and Git.
2. Clone or fork the web3-starter-kit repository.
3. In a separate terminal window, navigate to the web3-starter-kit directory and install the dependencies by running the command yarn.
4. Start the frontend by running the command yarn dev in the terminal window.
5. The app will be accessible at http://localhost:3000.
6. If you plan to deploy to testnets or production, you will need an RPC key. Create an Alchemy account and replace the value of ALCHEMY_KEY in the .env file located in the packages/hardhat directory with your new key.

Summary:

The Web3 Starter Kit provides developers with a quick and easy way to start building decentralized applications on Ethereum and Polygon. With its integration of Next.js, Chakra-UI, Hardhat, Rainbow Wallet, and Wagmi, developers have access to a powerful set of tools and frameworks to streamline the development process. Additionally, the kit provides helpful documentation and resources to learn more about Solidity, Next.js, ChakraUI, Hardhat, Rainbow Kit, Wagmi, and Ether.js.
