Migrate from RainbowKit

Learn how to migrate to thirdweb's ConnectButton component from RainbowKit.

  • Installation

    Install the connect SDK in your application

    npm i thirdweb

  • Setup

    Wrap application using ThirdwebProvider and remove RainbowKitProvider

    import { ThirdwebProvider } from "thirdweb/react";
    .
    .
    .
    .
    function MyApp({ Component, pageProps }: AppProps) {
      return (
        <ThirdwebProvider>
          <WagmiProvider config={config}>
            <QueryClientProvider client={client}>
                <Component {...pageProps} />
            </QueryClientProvider>
          </WagmiProvider>
        </ThirdwebProvider>
      );
    }

  • Swap ConnectButton component

    Import createThirdwebClient and ConnectButton from thirdweb and add them to your application. Modify the ConnectButton component by adding the client prop.

    import { ConnectButton } from "thirdweb/react";
    import { createThirdwebClient } from "thirdweb";
    .
    .
    .
    .
    const Home: NextPage = () => {
     
      const client = createThirdwebClient({
        clientId: "<client_id>",
      });
     
      return (
          <main>
            <ConnectButton client={client} />
          </main>
     
      );
    };

  • Customize

    To customize your ConnectButton component, view the cheatsheet below or view the customization documentation.

  • (Optional) Adapters

    If you are using Wagmi, Viem, or Ethers in your application, use thirdweb adapters to continue using contracts, providers, and wallets from these libraries.

    View the Adapter documentation.
