Get started

Learn how to get started with thirdweb Engine. This guide will walk you through the steps to start building with thirdweb Engine by creating a Vault, server wallets, and integrating into your application.

Prerequisites

Engine Setup

  • In your project dashboard, navigate to Engine to get started.

  • Create Vault

    Create a vault to manage your Engine's server wallets. After setup, you can manage your Vault to create additional access tokens or rotate admin keys.

  • Create Server Wallet

    Create a server wallet to perform blockchain actions with Engine.

  • Send Test Transaction

    To verify your server wallet setup and see how transactions work, you can send a test transaction in the next step. This sends a no-op transaction—a transaction with zero value—to your own wallet.

    You can send additional test transactions or proceed with the full setup whenever you're ready.

    Send Test Transaction

  • Integrate with your app

    Integrate Engine into your application using the thirdweb SDK or Engine API. View full API reference.
