VeChain has launched VeChain Kit v2, an all-new SDK for building frontend dApps on the network. The new version comes with a full user interface revamp and a built-in token swap.
“This is a big milestone,” stated founder Sunny Lu as he announced the official launch. “Enjoy, and as always, let us know your feedback — we hope you love using the wallet modal as much as we loved building it.”
The VeChain Kit is the network’s software development kit (SDK) that enables developers to build frontend applications. It supports most wallets, including WalletConnect and VeWorld, and has React Hooks that enable users to read and write data on VeChainThor.
VeChain Kit v2 comes with a redesigned user interface that prioritizes ease of use. It’s now easier to navigate between various offerings, while wallet features have been made more prominent. Most used actions are now easier to access, and developers can even customize the interface to fit their needs.
User interface has become one of the main differentiators in crypto as the sector courts mainstream users. For a decade now, blockchain applications have been accused of prioritizing the underlying technology over the frontend interface.
Prominent crypto figures have criticized this approach, which focuses on a small market of crypto-savvy users and ignores billions of mainstream targets. From Kraken’s Jesse Powell to Coinbase’s Brian Armstrong, many point out that security and decentralization matter less to novice users than an intuitive user interface.
The VeChain Kit v2 also comes with built-in token swaps, powered by leading decentralized exchange VeTrade and BetterSwap. According to one developer, these “secure, seamless, and efficient” swaps mean wallets won’t have to send users to external sites, boosting DeFi on the VeChain network.
Additionally, users can now switch wallets without having to disconnect every time. This will have an impact on day-to-day users who value speed and ease of transactions. Ultimately, all these updates will make it easier to build on the network.
