A TypeScript SDK toolkit for building Dapps on Polkadot Cloud - inspired by Hardhat's developer experience.

Features

🚀 Quick Project Setup - Initialize Polkadot Dapp projects in seconds 🎨 Frontend Templates - Official Parity and social login React templates ⚙️ Smart Contracts - Hardhat setup for Solidity development 📚 Documentation - Auto-generated docs with mdbook 🔧 Developer Tools - Rust toolchain management and status checking

Installation

npm install -g kitdot

Quick Start

Create a new Polkadot Dapp:

npx kitdot init my-polkadot-dapp
cd my-polkadot-dapp

The CLI will guide you through setting up:

• Full-stack Dapp - Frontend + Smart Contracts
• Frontend only - React app for Polkadot
• Backend only - Smart Contracts only
