Practical overview
When it fits
Use Samui Wallet when a Solana-focused developer project needs an open-source wallet codebase or a documented local starting point for wallet and dapp development.
Who it is for
- Solana developers building wallet interfaces
- Developers exploring browser-extension wallet projects
- Builders working with wallet-standard integrations
- Contributors interested in an open-source TypeScript project
Documented uses
- Create or adapt a Solana wallet interface for decentralized applications.
- Explore a browser-extension wallet implementation.
- Develop wallet-standard integrations.
- Set up a local wallet-development environment with Node and Bun.
Requirements & limits
The documented development workflow uses a public GitHub repository and requires FNM or NVM, Node and Bun. The project is listed under the MIT license.
- Solana is the stated ecosystem.
- The implementation language is TypeScript.
- The repository includes a Node-and-Bun local development setup.
- The project covers wallet, dapp, browser-extension and wallet-standard topics.
- Further configuration is directed to documentation at samui.build.
Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.
Set up the Samui Wallet development project
Prepare a local Samui Wallet development environment from the repository.
Before you start
- FNM or NVM
- Node
- Bun
Steps
Clone the samui-build/samui-wallet repository.
Change into the samui-wallet directory.
Select the Node version with FNM or NVM.
Install dependencies with bun install.
Start development with bun dev, or use the documented package-specific bun --filter= dev form.
Expected outcome
The repository's documented local development process is started.
Guide limitations
- The repository directs configuration questions to the Samui documentation.
- This guide documents setup and starting development, not deployment or production use.
Compare options for Wallet connections
These projects document a common task and share a project role. This is a source-based comparison, not an execution benchmark or a guarantee of interchangeability.
