Introduction

Create Dot App is a CLI that scaffolds Polkadot-based dApps with pre-configured templates and best practices. Use it to bootstrap a project with Solidity and Hardhat (EVM on Polkadot Asset Hub), then connect your frontend with Wagmi and Viem.

For more on Polkadot and the ecosystem, see the official Polkadot documentation.

Quick start

# Interactive: choose template in the terminal
npx create-dot-app@latest

# Non-interactive: create app with Solidity + React
npx create-dot-app@latest my-dapp --template solidity-react

Then install and run:

cd my-dapp && npm install
npm run deploy -w hardhat   # Deploy contracts
npm run dev -w dapp-react   # Start the dApp
