Before you choose

Requirements & limits

  • The repository is public and displays an Apache-2.0 license.
  • Developing the application requires Node.js v24.x and pnpm v11.x.
  • A WALLET_CONNECT_PROJECT_ID is required for staging and production builds; without it, pairing is hidden in development and those builds fail.

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