ink!athon DApp Boilerplate

ink!athon is a starter kit for full-stack dApp development with ink! smart contracts and a React-based frontend in one place. With convenient helper scripts and a pre-configured project setup, it lets you scaffold any dApp quickly. It's developed by the same team that is behind AZERO.ID, where this boilerplate is used in production.

Getting started

• Try out an interactive example deployment under inkathon.xyz.
• To get started with development, head over to the ink!athon repository and check its README.

• packages/contracts: ink! smart contracts with:
  • Greeter example contract
  • shorthand build & deploy scripts that export metadata and contract addresses
  • pre-configured substrate-contracts-node
  • extensible JS/TS scripts/ setup
• packages/frontend: Next.js frontend with:
  • polkadot-js/api & scio-labs/use-inkathon dependencies
  • pre-configured to import deployments & addresses from above
  • styling with tailwindcss and/or chakra-ui
  • components for balance checking, wallet connection, network information, and sample contract interaction
