Practical overview
When it fits
Use it when beginning a wallet-connected dApp interface and you want the documented Next.js, Ethereum-library and UI stack with starter wallet functions already included.
Who it is for
- Developers starting an Ethereum dApp front end
- Builders who want a foundation for wallet-connected interfaces and token-balance views
Documented uses
- Create a Next.js and TypeScript project foundation for a web3 application
- Add wallet connection status and chain selection to a dApp interface
- Display wallet balance and chain information
- Build on starter functions for signing messages, transferring native tokens and querying token balances
Requirements & limits
The repository is public and lists an MIT license. The README provides local setup instructions and a Docker launch option.
- Requires Node.js 20.9.0 or later, TypeScript, and one of Bun, pnpm, Yarn or npm.
- A browser wallet is listed among setup prerequisites.
- A WalletConnect project ID is required for WalletConnect v2.
- The listed features are interface and starter functions; application-specific behavior must be built on top.
Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.
Install and start the starter locally
Set up the repository and launch its development server on a local machine.
Before you start
- Node.js 20.9.0 or later
- TypeScript
- Bun, pnpm, Yarn or npm
- MetaMask or another web3-compatible browser wallet
- A WalletConnect project ID in the .env file for WalletConnect v2
Steps
Clone the repository with git clone https://github.com/Pedrojok01/Next-Web3-Boilerplate.git .
Install dependencies using bun install, pnpm install, yarn install or npm install.
Rename .env.example to .env and add the WalletConnect project ID as NEXT_PUBLIC_WALLETCONNECT_PROJECT_ID.
Start the development server with bun dev, pnpm dev, yarn dev or npm run dev, then open http://localhost:3000.
Expected outcome
The project’s development server runs locally for viewing the starter interface.
Guide limitations
- The steps launch the starter; they do not configure application-specific contracts or product features.
- WalletConnect v2 requires a project ID.
