#What is SimpleKit?

SimpleKit, is an open-source UI component library designed to simplify wallet connection experiences in React-based Web3 applications. Developed by Vaun Blu, it provides responsive, accessible components for connecting and managing Ethereum wallets, built on Wagmi, Viem, TanStack Query, and ShadCN UI. Aimed at Web3 developers, it offers a customizable, code-first approach without complex styling props, ideal for integrating wallet functionality into decentralized apps (dApps). Components are added via ShadCN CLI or copy-paste, ensuring seamless integration.
