Building a new app? The easiest way to get started is to use npx create-onchain, which sets up everything automatically for you. After running npx create-onchain and following the prompts, you’ll have a Next.js project with OnchainKit installed and ready to go.

​
Bootstrapping a new project

​
Mini app support

If you’re building a mini app or hybrid app, you can use the --mini flag to bootstrap a project with mini app support.
Terminal
npx create-onchain --mini

​
Traditional onchain web app

If you don’t want to use mini app features, simply omit the --mini flag. If you decide to add mini app features later, you can convert your project to a mini by making some small changes to your codebase.
Terminal
npx create-onchain

​
CLI settings

The CLI will ask you a few simple questions to help you get started. These are: After this, simply cd into your project folder and run npm install (or use your package manager of choice) to install the dependencies. Finally, run npm run dev to start the project and get to building!

​
What you get

The generated project includes:
  • Next.js scaffold - A new Next.js 15 project using the App Router
  • OnchainKit components - Pre-configured OnchainKit provider and components
  • Wagmi & Viem integration - Ready to use and set up for the Base network
  • TypeScript - Full type safety out of the box
