What it is

Ink Kit was a React component library offering UI components, app layouts, themes, and a wallet connection component built on wagmi. The repository was archived in October 2025, and the README now recommends modern alternatives for general UI and wallet connectivity. The code remains available under the MIT license.

  • Keep an existing Ink Kit-based app running using the published npm package
  • Read the component source as a reference for building wagmi-based wallet connection UI
  • Fork the MIT-licensed code to maintain your own version

Great for

  • Developers maintaining an existing project that already uses Ink Kit
  • People who want to read or fork the archived code for reference
  • Teams studying how an onchain React component library was structured

Not ideal for

  • New projects, because the repository is archived and no longer maintained, so the README points to alternatives such as shadcn/ui, Radix UI, Chakra UI, Mantine, RainbowKit, or ConnectKit
  • Non-developers, because it is a code library that requires React knowledge to use

How to get it

  1. 1

    Install with a package manager

    You'll need: Node.js · npm

    Install the published package (for existing projects)

    npm install @inkonchain/ink-kit@0.9.1-beta.19
  2. 2

    Run it

    • Check the Storybook documentation at https://ink-kit.inkonchain.com/ to see the components
    • Install the package in an existing React project with the command above
    • Import the components you need into your app
  3. 3

    Get the most out of it

    • Use the Storybook docs to preview components before integrating them
    • Review the wagmi-based wallet connection component if you need a reference implementation
    • Compare against the recommended alternatives in the README before adopting it further

Downloads

Strengths

  • MIT license allows reuse, modification, and forking
  • Published on npm and documented with a Storybook site
  • Built on wagmi, a widely used React library for Ethereum wallets

Trade-offs

  • Archived, so it is not expected to receive fixes or updates
  • The README directs new users to other libraries instead
