Understand the project

Practical overview

When it fits

Use it when beginning a React-based dApp and you want an existing wallet-integration foundation to adapt, rather than setting up the starter stack and connections from scratch.

Who it is for

  • Developers building Ethereum or other Web3 dApps with React and TypeScript.
  • Teams seeking a starting codebase for wallet connections, chain selection and token queries.

Documented uses

  • Start a React and TypeScript dApp project with wallet connectivity in place.
  • Add wallet balance display, message signing and native-token transfer flows.
  • Query ERC-20 token balances, allowances, decimals and symbols.
Before you choose

Requirements & limits

The repository is public and identifies the project as MIT-licensed. Local setup requires the listed development tools, a browser wallet, an Infura API key and a WalletConnect project ID.

  • The documented stack is React 18, TypeScript 5, @web3-react/core v8 and Ant Design.
  • Wallet options listed include MetaMask, WalletConnect and Coinbase.
  • The README warns that @web3-react v8 package versions may require manual alignment.
  • NFT querying is listed as unfinished.

Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.

Source-based practical guide

Set up the WEB3 Boilerplate development project

Prepare the starter locally and launch its documented development server.

Before you start

  • Node.js (the README says development used LTS v18)
  • TypeScript (the README says development used v5.2.2)
  • Yarn
  • MetaMask or another Web3-compatible browser wallet
  • An Infura API key and a WalletConnect v2 project ID

Steps

  1. Clone the repository into a new project directory.

  2. Install dependencies with Yarn and check that the @web3-react packages use matching versions.

  3. Create a root-level .env file from .env.example and fill in the required API key and WalletConnect project ID.

  4. Run the development server with yarn start.

Expected outcome

A locally started development project based on the Web3 Boilerplate template.

Guide limitations

  • The README notes that @web3-react v8 package versions may not be installed at matching versions automatically.
  • The README marks NFT-query support as unfinished and describes the project as work in progress.
