  • Another dApp starter for NFTs collection creators can be found on our Github and it is Open Source. The dApp features include: showcasing all the NFTs that you own from a specific collection with details, login process using the cryptocurrency wallet, and an innovative design by Creative Tim.

  • TypeScript

    TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript that compiles to clean JavaScript output.

  • MultiversX (former Elrond) MultiversX Virtual Machine (EVM) supports any programming language that can compile Web Assembly smart contracts. These include the likes of TypeScript, C#, Go, C/C++, and Rust. However, since MultiversX’s smart contract framework is based mostly on Rust, Rust is the recommended language.

  • rust

    Empowering everyone to build reliable and efficient software.

  • Solana The execution environment of Solana is based on eBPF (Berkely Packet Filter), which allows developers to use Rust, C, and C++.

  • v3-core

    🦄 🦄 🦄 Core smart contracts of Uniswap v3

  • Ethereum Ethereum boasts a huge load of awesome projects running on its blockchain. Among them, decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols, Uniswap decentralized exchange (DEX) protocol, MakerDAO (a decentralized lending protocol, Curve Finance (an automated market maker), and app.1inch (a crypto exchange aggregator) are the most notable.

  • solidity

    Solidity, the Smart Contract Programming Language

  • Ethereum Solidity is the object-oriented programming language used for implementing smart contracts. Ethereum uses Solidity for developing Ethereum Virtual Machines (EVM). Solidity uses ECMAScript-like syntax that is useful for existing web developers.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • solana

    Web-Scale Blockchain for fast, secure, scalable, decentralized apps and marketplaces.

  • With the introduction of new and advanced blockchain platforms in the Web 3.0 scene, the narrative around Ethereum has slowly shifted towards its younger “Ethereum Alternatives”. Solana, Avalanche, and MultiversX (former Elrond) are some of the crypto blockchains that are given this terminology, as they share similar features but are comparatively cheaper and better than Ethereum.

  • mx-chain-go

    ⚡ The official implementation of the MultiversX blockchain protocol, written in golang.
