<p>dApps are becoming ever so popular with the steady user growth of web3 products and services.</p><p>Just like any other industry, researching and learning about new tools, coding languages and wallets can be a hassle.</p><p>If you want to create your own dApp, this article provides user-friendly tools that will increase developer productivity while saving time and, in some cases, money, when developing decentralized applications.</p><p><img src="https://taikai.azureedge.net/qDNLxgi4JTbSVs4mCBkdlZ68F4RYfXSCzKBWIwUjGtI/rs:fit:800:0:0/aHR0cHM6Ly9zdG9yYWdlLmdvb2dsZWFwaXMuY29tL3RhaWthaS1zdG9yYWdlL2ltYWdlcy85ZDNmNjMwMC00MGM3LTExZWQtOGQwZi0yMTc0MDllOTAxMGRTb2NpYWwgTWVkaWE9RGVmYXVsdGJlc3QgdG9vbHMgdG8gY3JlYXRlIGRhcHBzLnBuZw" style="width:821px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" /></p><p>Before we get into the best dApp tools, here's a tip on how to make dApps:</p><p>Developers are probably familiar with some programming languages for structuring new decentralized applications, including Solidity (particularly for smart contracts) and the popular ones: HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.</p><p>There are also specific wallets that you can use to access dApps. The most popular is MetaMask, but there are others, such as Portis and the WalletConnect protocol.</p><p><br /></p><h3>7 best development tools to create dApps</h3><ul><li>dappKit</li><li>Truffle Suite</li><li>Remix IDE</li><li>Solidity</li><li>MetaMask</li><li>Portis</li><li>WalletConnect</li></ul><p>There are several approaches to developing dApps. In this article, we will provide a list of tools, languages, and wallets recommended for creating better and more compatible blockchain-based decentralized applications.</p><p><br /></p><h3>The best tools for dApps in 2022 🛠️</h3><h3>Dappkit</h3><p>With an easy setup and user-friendly documentation, <a href="https://dappkit.dev/" target="_blank">dappKit</a>, developed by <a href="https://bepro.network/" target="_blank">Bepro Network</a>, is a free/open-source web3 SDK that enables developers to build web3 features and products with an easy-to-use framework.</p><p>The main goal of dappKit is that developers do not need to write web3 code from scratch, simplifying the development process in as little as three lines of code.</p><p>It is possible to create an infinite number of dApps and web3 products, including <a href="https://taikai.network/en/blog/cefi-vs-defi" target="_blank">DeFi platforms</a>, Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs) and crypto tokens, among other possibilities.</p><p><br /></p><blockquote><p>👉Learn more about <a href="https://taikai.network/en/blog/introducing-dappkit-open-source-sdk" target="_blank">dappKit</a> and understand why is it the simple way to start your web3 project</p></blockquote><p><br /></p><p>One of the most significant benefits is that web and JavaScript developers with no Solidity experience can use dappKit to interact with Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) standard contracts (ERC-20, ERC-721, ERC1155). </p><p>This is because dappKit-launchpad reads Solidity contracts and generates javascript proxies from them using dappKit classes and helpers.</p><p>Using the dappKit transpiler, developers can create a typescript/javascript SDK for custom smart contracts. </p><p>Furthermore, there is no need to deeply understand how to connect to a blockchain because you can specify the EVM RPC endpoint (Ethereum, Avalanche, Fantom, Moonbeam, and so on) to deploy on dappKit.</p><p>Here’s a recap of why dappKit is one of the <strong>best tools to create dApps</strong>: </p><ul><li><strong>Easy setup </strong>and user-friendly documentation from source, as well as community-maintained Gitbook documentation;</li><li>Less time researching because dappKit adheres to standards and provides an easily navigable one-stop-shop for all of your contract requirements;</li><li><strong>Web3 features integration with just a few lines of code</strong>, eliminating the need to repeat code when interacting with the blockchain. In three lines of code, dappKit connects to an EVM Blockchain node;</li><li>Simple integration with any smart contracts via an extensible model that can interact with any Application Binary Interface provided. Also, you can deploy standard and custom contracts to any EVM-compatible blockchain;</li><li><strong>Easy wallet integration with Metamask</strong> to sign and submit smart contract transactions in your javascript dApp; </li><li>DappKit provides its own utilities in addition to those provided by web3js, and it allows you to generate a wrapper for your EVM contract.</li></ul><h3>Truffle</h3><p>Truffle has a great development environment. As <a href="https://trufflesuite.com/" target="_blank">Truffle Suite</a> says, this tool made smart contracts “sweeter”.  </p><p>Truffle has an excellent baseline for frameworks and an asset pipeline for EVM-based blockchains. </p><p>It is a JavaScript-based tool for dApps that includes:</p><ul><li><a href="https://trufflesuite.com/ganache/" target="_blank">Ganache</a> - An Ethereum simulator that allows you to create faster, easier, and safer dApps. You can use it to deploy contracts and create your own dApps.</li><li><a href="https://trufflesuite.com/drizzle/" target="_blank">Drizzle</a> - A collection of front-end development libraries that simplify and improve the reliability of dApps.</li></ul><p>Besides that, as a fantastic tool for decentralized applications, Truffle also provides the following features:</p><ul><li>Smart contract compilation, linking, deployment, and binary management; </li><li>Contract testing that is automated for quick development; </li><li>Framework for deployment and migration that is scriptable and extensible; </li><li>An interactive console that allows direct contracts communication</li><li>Configurable build pipeline</li></ul><p>In addition, Truffle and Ganache have a user interface (UI) that makes smart contract transactions easier to understand.  You can start with the <a href="https://github.com/smartcontractkit/truffle-starter-kit" target="_blank">Truffle Starter Kit</a>.</p><h3><br /></h3><h3>Remix IDE - Integrated Development Environment</h3><p>Written in JavaScript and developed as an open-source web and desktop application, Remix IDE is one of the best tools for developing dApps because it requires no setup, has a rich set of plugins, and has a quick development cycle.</p><p>To begin with, the <a href="https://remix-project.org/" target="_blank">Remix IDE project </a>was primarily aimed at Solidity programming language developers, with modules for testing, debugging, deploying, and administering smart contracts written in Solidity code.</p><p>As Solidity was built for the Ethereum Development Environment, Remix IDE ends up being an excellent choice for developers working on the ETH blockchain because the Integrated Development Environment provides:</p><ul><li>An Analyzer that checks security vulnerabilities and bad development practices on Solidity smart contracts; </li><li>The Remix Astwalker provides a friendly reader with the AST (Abstract Syntax Tree) of smart contracts. </li><li>Basic smart contract debugging tools; </li><li>Remix Tests is a feature for continuous integration testing.</li><li>Low-level libraries for developers enhance features.</li></ul><h3>Best coding languages to build dApps 📙</h3><h4><br /></h4><h4>Solidity</h4><p>Solidity is the primary language used for developing <a href="https://taikai.network/en/blog/smart-contracts-101" target="_blank">smart contracts</a> on Ethereum.</p><p>It is an object-oriented and statically-typed programming language that can be used for all EVM-compatible chains, including Polygon and Binance Smart Chain.</p><p>Solidity was designed based on other existing programming languages like C++, Python, and JavaScript, using similar language structures, and already provides some developed functions and commands, such as timestamps for blocks. </p><p>It allows for the extension of other contracts through inheritance, as well as libraries for reusable code (enabling the creation of different contracts).</p><p><br /></p><h4>HTML and CSS</h4><p>They are equally important for developing the web frontend user interface, as they are used for laying out the structure and user interface (UI) of apps.</p><p>In other words, HTML is used to add the structure, fields, and buttons to a web page, while CSS is used to determine the style.</p><p>It is not by chance that HTML and CSS are the prior layers of Web2 development. This brings us to what is known as the third layer on the web: JavaScript.</p><p><br /></p><h4>JavaScript</h4><p>When creating Dapps, developers may need to use JavaScript to develop the frontend logic. It is primarily used for web development and is an object-oriented programming language. </p><p>There are currently many libraries available for blockchain developers that work with JavaScript.</p><p>Furthermore, Web3js is the most commonly used language for communicating with smart contracts. </p><p>And it is an excellent choice for testing frontend and backend on smart contracts, allowing the majority of the code base to be shared.</p><p><strong>To summarize, developers can use CSS to style dApps, HTML to organize information, and JavaScript to provide functionality and interactivity.</strong></p><p><br /></p><h3>Connecting the best tools for dApps with wallets 💵</h3><p>Aside from learning the fundamental languages for developing in web3 and locating the best tools for dApps, you will also need to connect your new blockchain app to wallets.</p><p>So, we've compiled a list of three of the best web3 wallets available right now.</p><p><br /></p><h4>MetaMask</h4><p>The most well-known cryptocurrency wallet is also one of the best options for connecting dApps. </p><p>MetaMask is useful because it is a nearly universal wallet that converts popular browsers (such as Chrome, Firefox, and Opera) into “Ethereum browsers”.</p><p>In addition, MetaMask has an <a href="https://docs.metamask.io/guide/ethereum-provider.html" target="_blank">Ethereum Provider API</a> that developers can use to request a user's account information and request that they sign a transaction from dApps. </p><p>As a result, it is simple to access, create new Ethereum addresses, and send transfers.</p><p><br /></p><h4>Portis</h4><p>This wallet also supports the major browsers and allows dApps to communicate with the Portis SDK via standard web3.js methods.</p><p>With just four lines of code, Portis can be integrated with dApps and smart contracts.</p><p>Portis only requires an email address and a password to authenticate users. It means that no private key is required. Portis also supports blockchain interoperability. As of today, this are the blockchains that Portis supports:</p><ul><li>Ethereum</li><li>Bitcoin</li><li>EOS</li><li>SKALE</li><li>Matic</li><li>Ubiq</li><li>Thundercore</li></ul><h4>WalletConnect</h4><p>This is not exactly a wallet, but rather a protocol that allows blockchain developers to connect wallets to decentralized applications. </p><p><a href="https://walletconnect.com/" target="_blank">WalletConnect</a> positions itself as an open protocol designed for developers with simple integration to securely communicate between Wallets and dApps. </p><p>As its <a href="https://docs.walletconnect.com/" target="_blank">documentation indicates</a>, it can be linked with feel lines of code. In addition, SDKs for Javascript, iOS/Swift, and Android/Kotlin are available.</p><p>The protocol uses strong encryption. It symmetrically encrypts connections to apps or devices using a shared key between the two peers. </p><p>Moreover, WalletConnect was designed to work with any blockchain. </p><p>They expect to connect with more chains in the future, but for now, it connects with Ethereum, Cosmos, Polkadot, Celo, Solana, and Near.</p><p><br /></p><h3>Conclusion 📍</h3><p>When considering how to create dApps, three factors must be considered as a <a href="https://taikai.network/en/blog/become-blockchain-developer" target="_blank">blockchain developer</a>: simplicity, good documentation, and community support.</p><p>Remember that JavaScript is widely used in the blockchain space. As a result, it will help you in connecting with a variety of wallet options.</p><p>Of course, there are other languages that are used in the blockchain world that we did not mention above, such as Python, Vyper, Goland, and C#. But then again, we <strong>covered THE best tools</strong> :)</p><p><br /></p><h4>If you’re stepping into the web3 programming world, check out our article about <a href="https://taikai.network/en/blog/blockchain-developer-vs-software-developer" target="_blank">languages and skills required for blockchain developers</a> for more information.</h4>
