avalanche

AvaKit 🔺

The open-source, AI-native developer toolkit for Avalanche.

Scaffold a social-login dapp, deploy-ready, with agent context baked in. One core, four surfaces. No seed phrases, no boilerplate.

▶ Watch the 90-second demo — one command to a live, social-login Avalanche dapp: sign in with Google, deploy an NFT from the browser, and mint it on Fuji.

npm create avalanche-app@latest

That's it. Connect with a social login, read your balance, and send your first transaction on Avalanche in minutes.

Then deploy an NFT contract and mint it, straight from the browser, on Fuji:

Proven live on Fuji. The mint in that clip is a real on-chain transaction; view it on Snowtrace (contract 0x7612…7786). No Foundry, no backend: the bytecode is bundled and deployed from the user's wallet.

Why AvaKit

Avalanche's C-Chain is EVM-compatible and end-user onboarding is already solved (Core wallet's seedless social login). The remaining friction is on the developer side: spinning up a modern dapp with onboarding wired up still takes hours. AvaKit removes that.

• Zero-setup onboarding: a temporary in-browser wallet appears so a newcomer can try a real Fuji transaction with nothing installed, and social login (Google, no seed phrase) or Core/MetaMask is the upgrade — for those, keys stay in the provider's HSM and AvaKit never touches them. (The burner is the exception, and holds its key in localStorage — see SECURITY.md.)
• AI-native by default: every generated app ships CLAUDE.md, llms.txt, and .cursor/rules, and @avakit/mcp lets Claude Code / Cursor scaffold, deploy, and read chain state for you.
• shadcn/ui, themed: a clean design system with dark/light from day one. Copy-in components, no vendor lock-in.
• Deploy-ready: contracts compile to bundled bytecode, so you can deploy straight from the browser. Fuji testnet by default.
• Safe defaults: testnet-first, mainnet is explicit opt-in, secrets stay in env.
• Wrap, don't rewrite: built on viem, Web3Auth, and Foundry, packaged for a great DX.

Packages

Package	What it is
@avakit/core	Framework-agnostic kernel: viem clients, wallet adapters, deploy helpers, chain data
@avakit/react	<ConnectAvalanche> social-login widget, <TransactionButton>, and hooks, built on shadcn/ui
create-avalanche-app	Batteries-included scaffolder (8 templates)
@avakit/mcp	MCP server: scaffold, deploy, and read Avalanche from Claude Code / Cursor
@avakit/studio	Local dev dashboard: spin up devnets, send Interchain messages, inspect data (npx @avakit/studio); also an MCP server

Templates

npm create avalanche-app@latest my-app -- --template nft-mint

Template	What you get
minimal	Social-login wallet, balance, and a first transaction
nft-mint	Deploy an ERC-721 from the browser, then mint
token-gated-app	Unlock content for holders of an access-pass NFT
erc20-token	Deploy an ERC-20, mint supply, and transfer
icm-messenger	Send a message between two Avalanche L1s over Interchain Messaging, on a one-command local devnet
eerc-token	Register, mint, and privately transfer tokens with hidden balances (Encrypted ERC)
l1-launch	Launch your own Avalanche L1 with one command, then explore it in a built-in dashboard
token-bridge	Bridge an ERC-20 between two Avalanche L1s with Interchain Token Transfer (ICTT)

Every template ships with a social-login wallet, shadcn/ui (black & white, dark/light), and AI context files.

Use it in an existing app

npm install @avakit/react @avakit/core viem

"use client";
import { injectedAdapter } from "@avakit/core";
import { fuji } from "@avakit/core/chains";
import { AvaKitProvider, ConnectAvalanche } from "@avakit/react";

export function App() {
  return (
    <AvaKitProvider chains={[fuji]} adapters={[injectedAdapter()]}>
      <ConnectAvalanche />
    </AvaKitProvider>
  );
}

Add social login by installing @web3auth/modal and passing web3authAdapter({ clientId }) (from @avakit/core/web3auth).

@avakit/core and @avakit/react are ESM-only (use import, not require; Node ≥ 20.11).

Build with an AI agent

Add the MCP server to Claude Code, Cursor, or Claude Desktop:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "avakit": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@avakit/mcp"] }
  }
}

Then just ask: "Scaffold an nft-mint dapp and deploy it to Fuji."
