This repository provides a template for building decentralized applications (DApps) on the VechainThor blockchain, specifically integrating with the VeBetterDAO ecosystem for reward distribution. It targets developers looking for a structured, full-stack starting point, leveraging modern web technologies and blockchain tooling for efficient DApp creation.

How It Works

The template employs a full-stack architecture with a React frontend (Vite), an Express.js backend (TypeScript), and Solidity smart contracts managed by Hardhat. It utilizes the Vechain dapp-kit and Vechain SDK for seamless blockchain interaction. A key feature is the integration with OpenAI GPT-4o for image analysis, enabling advanced DApp functionalities. The VeBetterDAO ecosystem is central, facilitating reward distribution mechanisms.

Quick Start & Requirements

• Install: yarn install (at root)
• Prerequisites: Node.js (v18+), Yarn, Docker, Hardhat. OpenAI API key (GPT-4o).
• Local Setup: Run a local Vechain Thor blockchain instance with yarn contracts:solo-up. Deploy contracts with yarn contracts:deploy:solo. Start frontend/backend with yarn dev.
• Docs: Developer Docs, VeBetterDAO
