Tools for Frontend Development

While smart contract tools are crucial, integrating these contracts into your application is essential for bringing your dApp to life. Explore the tools required for frontend development:

• Create Cosmos App

This tool sets up a boilerplate template for your dApp, pre-configured with dependencies such as CosmJS, Keplr, Next.js, Webpack, and Babel—all with a single command. References: 1. https://github.com/cosmology-tech/create-cosmos-app

• Cosmos-Kit

Cosmos-Kit simplifies the integration of wallet connection features into your dApp. It provides easy-to-use functionality for adding wallet support to your application.
