Getting Started

Your gateway to developing VeChain dApps

What is a dApp?

A dApp (decentralized application) is a software application that operates on a distributed network, typically using blockchain technology. Unlike traditional centralized applications, dApps run on a peer-to-peer network of computers, often utilizing smart contracts on a blockchain for enhanced security and transparency.

Prerequisites

Before diving into dApp development, ensure you have:

  • A solid understanding of blockchain fundamentals.

  • Experience with Solidity (for smart contracts) and JavaScript (for front-end development).

  • A VeChain-compatible wallet for testing.

Quick Start with VeChain Templates

Jump-start your development with our pre-built templates:

npm create vechain

Development Roadmap

1. Design your dApp

Outline your dApp's functionality, user interface, and key features.

2. Develop Smart Contracts

Create Solidity smart contracts to define your dApp's core logic.

3. Build the Front-End

Craft an intuitive user interface using modern web technologies.

  • Implement easy wallet login with dappKit.

  • Use our comprehensive SDK for efficient blockchain interactions.

  • Connect to VeChainThor via our node endpoints.

4. Test Thoroughly

5. Launch Your dApp

Submit your dApp to the VeChain App Hub for increased visibility.

By following this guide, you'll be well-equipped to create robust, scalable dApps on the VeChainThor blockchain. Happy coding!
