Templates

Create Dot App offers several templates. The ones covered in this documentation are the Solidity templates, which give you Hardhat for smart contracts and Wagmi for the frontend, targeting Polkadot Asset Hub (EVM).

Solidity templates

Use these when you want to write EVM-compatible smart contracts in Solidity and connect a React or Vue frontend.

Both deploy to Polkadot Asset Hub and ship with a sample contract and deployment scripts.

Create a project

# Solidity + React (recommended)
npx create-dot-app@latest my-dapp --template solidity-react

# Solidity + Vue
npx create-dot-app@latest my-dapp --template solidity-vue

Then see Smart Contracts (Solidity) for writing contracts, deploying, and connecting the dApp.

Other templates

The CLI also includes other template categories (e.g. pallet-based frontends and ink! smart contracts). Run npx create-dot-app@latest without --template to choose interactively. This documentation focuses on the Solidity workflow above.
