Understand the project

Practical overview

When it fits

Use it when a web dapp needs a shared integration layer for several documented wallets and wallet-related state or actions.

Who it is for

  • Web developers integrating wallet connections into a dapp.
  • Teams building applications that need wallet state, signatures or transaction-status tracking.

Documented uses

  • Connect supported wallets from a dapp interface.
  • Display whether a wallet is connected and its address.
  • Handle wallet signatures and track transaction status.
  • Refresh application data when wallet, block or network state changes.
  • Use ENS-related functionality.
Before you choose

Requirements & limits

The repository is public and lists an MIT license. Installation is documented with Yarn.

  • The README provides a React-style provider and context example, including a MetaMask connection using chain ID 1.
  • Wallet and network coverage varies by connector; the README points to networks.ts for supported networks.
  • The README documents no playground and describes yalc for local library development.

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

Add a wallet connection to a web app

Install the library and use its provider and context to connect MetaMask and display a connected address.

Before you start

  • A web application using TypeScript and React-style components
  • Yarn
  • A MetaMask wallet for the documented connection example

Steps

  1. Install the package with yarn add @viaprotocol/web3-wallets.

  2. Wrap the relevant application component with WalletProvider.

  3. In a nested component, read connect, isConnected and address from WalletContext.

  4. When disconnected, call connect({ name: 'MetaMask', chainId: 1 }); when connected, render the address.

Expected outcome

The application can initiate the documented MetaMask connection for ETH Mainnet and show the connected address.

Guide limitations

  • The example documents the connection and address display only; it does not provide a complete application or transaction flow.
Source-based practical guide

Test local library changes in a consuming project

Build a modified library and install its local yalc version in a project for testing.

Before you start

  • Yarn
  • yalc installed globally
  • A local copy of the web3-wallets repository
  • A consuming project

Steps

  1. Install yalc globally with yarn global add yalc.

  2. Make changes to the web3-wallets code.

  3. Build the library with yarn publish:yalc.

  4. In the consuming project, run yalc add @viaprotocol/web3-wallets, then yarn add @viaprotocol/web3-wallets.

  5. After testing, remove the local package with yalc remove @viaprotocol/web3-wallets && yarn.

Expected outcome

The consuming project can use the yalc-published local version of the library during development.

Guide limitations

  • The README says the library has no playground.
  • For Vite, the README says to run with the --force parameter.
