Quickstarts
Task-focused BSV guides for setting up a BRC-100 wallet, building a first app, adding payments, messaging, storage, and secure user-key flows.
Quickstarts are the shortest path from blank project to working BSV feature. If this is your first session, start with the maintained no-spend starter at use.bsv.tools so you can see a paid API mock, private memory, creation proof, and wallet preflight before moving into deeper tutorials.
After that first win, use these pages to set up a wallet, build a small app, and add the capability your product needs.
Suggested Learning Path
- Set up a BRC-100 wallet.
- Build the first app locally.
- Add authentication with AuthFetch.
- Add either baskets, payments, messaging, or storage depending on your app.
- Move public state into overlays when other users need to discover it.
