What Are Scaffolds?

Scaffolds are ready-to-use project templates that handle initial setup and configuration. They come with essential dependencies, tools, and examples so you can focus on building your blockchain experiences.

Why Use Scaffolds?

Every Blink consists of two core components: a Blinks Provider (backend) and a Blinks Client (frontend). Our scaffolds make working with both seamless:

Next.js Foundation

Built on Next.js for robust provider-client communication

Zero Config

Pre-wired with wallet connections, blockchain SDKs, and dev tools

Local Testing

Ready-made examples to test your full Blink locally

Chain Agnostic

Deploy to any blockchain by updating the chainId

Getting Started

To get you started, all you have to do is run the command below in your terminal. This will guide you through a small config process that helps you setup your project with our latest tools, install dependencies etc.

npx create-blinks-app

After you’ve executed the command, just cd into your new scaffold project folder and run:

npm run dev
