Practical overview
When it fits
Use Argent X when a Starknet dapp interaction calls for a browser wallet, or when building a dapp integration around StarknetKit and starknet.js.
Who it is for
- Starknet users who need a browser-extension wallet for dapp interactions.
- Dapp developers implementing Starknet wallet connection with StarknetKit and starknet.js.
Documented uses
- Connect a Starknet dapp to a wallet selected by the user.
- Use a connected wallet’s starknet.js Signer to make requests through the user’s wallet contract.
- Use a starknet.js Provider to read Starknet state or send anonymous transactions when no extension is connected.
Requirements & limits
- The documented developer integration uses StarknetKit and requires starknet.js as a peer dependency.
- The repository links to a Chrome Web Store download and documents loading a locally built extension in Chrome or Firefox.
Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.
Build and load Argent X from source in Chrome
Build the repository packages and load the resulting unpacked extension in Chrome.
Before you start
- A local clone of the argentlabs/argent-x repository
- pnpm
- Chrome
Steps
From the repository directory, run
pnpm run setupto set up dependencies.Run
pnpm buildto build all packages.In Chrome, open
chrome://extensionsand enable Developer mode.Choose Load unpacked and select the extension directory at
packages/extension/dist.
Expected outcome
The locally built Argent X extension is loaded in Chrome as an unpacked extension.
Guide limitations
- This procedure covers building and loading the extension, not wallet setup or use.
- The repository documents Chrome steps; it does not establish compatibility with other browsers.
