# AppKit

AppKit (formerly Web3Modal) by WalletConnect provides a wallet connection modal with support for 300+ wallets. This guide shows how to integrate AppKit with Seismic React.

## Prerequisites

```bash
npm install @reown/appkit @reown/appkit-adapter-wagmi wagmi viem @tanstack/react-query seismic-react seismic-viem
```

{% hint style="warning" %}
You need a WalletConnect Project ID from [WalletConnect Cloud](https://cloud.walletconnect.com/).
{% endhint %}

## Step 1: Configure wagmi with AppKit

Create a wagmi adapter and initialize AppKit with Seismic chains:

```typescript
import { createAppKit } from "@reown/appkit/react";
import { WagmiAdapter } from "@reown/appkit-adapter-wagmi";
import { seismicTestnet } from "seismic-react/rainbowkit";

const projectId = "YOUR_WALLETCONNECT_PROJECT_ID";

const wagmiAdapter = new WagmiAdapter({
  projectId,
  chains: [seismicTestnet],
  networks: [seismicTestnet],
});

createAppKit({
  adapters: [wagmiAdapter],
  projectId,
  networks: [seismicTestnet],
  metadata: {
    name: "My Seismic App",
    description: "A Seismic-powered dApp",
    url: "https://myapp.com",
    icons: ["https://myapp.com/icon.png"],
  },
});
```

## Step 2: Set Up Providers

Nest the providers with `ShieldedWalletProvider` inside:

```typescript
import { WagmiProvider } from 'wagmi'
import { QueryClient, QueryClientProvider } from '@tanstack/react-query'
import { ShieldedWalletProvider } from 'seismic-react'

const queryClient = new QueryClient()

function App({ children }: { children: React.ReactNode }) {
  return (
    <WagmiProvider config={wagmiAdapter.wagmiConfig}>
      <QueryClientProvider client={queryClient}>
        <ShieldedWalletProvider config={wagmiAdapter.wagmiConfig}>
          {children}
        </ShieldedWalletProvider>
      </QueryClientProvider>
    </WagmiProvider>
  )
}
```

{% hint style="info" %}
AppKit does not require a wrapper provider component like RainbowKit or Privy. The `createAppKit` call initializes it globally, so `ShieldedWalletProvider` goes directly inside `QueryClientProvider`.
{% endhint %}

## Step 3: Add the Connect Button

AppKit provides a web component for the connect button:

```typescript
function Header() {
  return (
    <header>
      <appkit-button />
    </header>
  )
}
```

{% hint style="info" %}
If you are using TypeScript, you may need to declare the web component type. Add this to a `.d.ts` file in your project:

```typescript
declare namespace JSX {
  interface IntrinsicElements {
    "appkit-button": React.DetailedHTMLProps<
      React.HTMLAttributes<HTMLElement>,
      HTMLElement
    >;
  }
}
```

{% endhint %}

## Step 4: Use Shielded Hooks

Once connected, use `seismic-react` hooks to interact with shielded contracts:

```typescript
import { useShieldedWallet } from 'seismic-react'

function MyComponent() {
  const { walletClient, loaded, error } = useShieldedWallet()

  if (!loaded) return <div>Initializing shielded wallet...</div>
  if (error) return <div>Error: {error}</div>
  if (!walletClient) return <div>Connect your wallet to get started.</div>

  return <div>Shielded wallet ready!</div>
}
```

## Complete Example

```typescript
'use client'

import { createAppKit } from '@reown/appkit/react'
import { WagmiAdapter } from '@reown/appkit-adapter-wagmi'
import { WagmiProvider } from 'wagmi'
import { QueryClient, QueryClientProvider } from '@tanstack/react-query'
import { ShieldedWalletProvider, useShieldedWallet } from 'seismic-react'
import { seismicTestnet } from 'seismic-react/rainbowkit'

const projectId = 'YOUR_WALLETCONNECT_PROJECT_ID'

const wagmiAdapter = new WagmiAdapter({
  projectId,
  chains: [seismicTestnet],
  networks: [seismicTestnet],
})

createAppKit({
  adapters: [wagmiAdapter],
  projectId,
  networks: [seismicTestnet],
  metadata: {
    name: 'My Seismic App',
    description: 'A Seismic-powered dApp',
    url: 'https://myapp.com',
    icons: ['https://myapp.com/icon.png'],
  },
})

const queryClient = new QueryClient()

function WalletStatus() {
  const { walletClient, publicClient, loaded, error } = useShieldedWallet()

  if (!loaded) return <p>Initializing shielded wallet...</p>
  if (error) return <p>Error: {error}</p>
  if (!walletClient) return <p>Connect your wallet to get started.</p>

  return (
    <div>
      <p>Shielded wallet ready</p>
      <p>Public client: {publicClient ? 'Available' : 'Loading...'}</p>
    </div>
  )
}

export default function App() {
  return (
    <WagmiProvider config={wagmiAdapter.wagmiConfig}>
      <QueryClientProvider client={queryClient}>
        <ShieldedWalletProvider config={wagmiAdapter.wagmiConfig}>
          <appkit-button />
          <WalletStatus />
        </ShieldedWalletProvider>
      </QueryClientProvider>
    </WagmiProvider>
  )
}
```

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.seismic.systems/clients/typescript/react/wallet-guides/appkit.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
