Introduction

create-nextjs-dapp is a command-line interface (CLI) tool that helps you quickly scaffold production-ready Next.js decentralized applications (dApps) with your preferred wallet provider and blockchain support. Inspired by create-next-app, it streamlines the setup process so you can focus on building your web3 application.
