info

In order to follow the guides and tutorial of the LUKSO Developer documentation, you should have some basic knowledge and be familiar with the following:

• Building general applications on Ethereum: Learning Tools of the Ethereum Foundation
• For smart contract developers:
  • Smart contract development in Solidity.
  • If you pick a template, Foundry or Hardhat.
• For dApp developers:
  • Basic programming skills in Javascript or Typescript.
  • Using a javascript library to interaction with web3 applications like web3.js, ethers or viem.

Building dApps for Universal Profiles

When building dApps on LUKSO, you are interacting with Universal Profiles 🆙 through the Universal Profile Browser Extension. This page guides you on the first step to get started building on LUKSO with the 🆙 Browser Extension.

Download & Install the UP Browser Extension 🧩

Using the Relayer API

The LUKSO Relayer API allows you to easily create and deploy Universal Profiles from your dApp in Javascript.

Your users will benefit from a free monthly gas quota and will be able to submit transactions without requiring to pay for gas. A great way to onboard new users quickly and easily into your dApp!

🔌 Deploy with the LUKSO Relayer API.

Manual Deployment

If you prefer to create a Universal Profile manually, use the LSP23 Linked Contracts Factory contract on LUKSO Mainnet.

This factory contract can help you to deploy a Universal Profile + its Key Manager. However, you will have to set the metadata and permissions as well on deployment. Follow our guide below.

🏭 Deploy with LSP23 Linked Contract Factory.

caution

Please note that Universal Profile created and deployed manually are not registered on the LUKSO Transaction Relay Service, do not get a free monthly gas quota, and as a result, do not benefit from gas-less transactions.

Resources for Builders

LUKSO is a Layer 1 EVM Blockchain. All tools and tutorials for Ethereum also work for LUKSO by default.

Developers building on LUKSO can write smart contracts in any EVM-based smart contract languages (Solidity, Vyper, etc...), and use existing standards already developed for other Ethereum networks.

Tutorials for Universal Profiles

Learn how to connect your UP to a dApp, update the profile details (including pictures), transfer tokens and NFTs and more.

Tutorials for Digital Assets

Learn how to create token and NFT collections, customize the metadata of an NFT and how to create collections of sub-collections.

Awesome LUKSO!

Code Repositories

Want to dive into the code directly? Check the following repos 😉

Next.js Boilerplate

The tools-dapp-boilerplate is a Next.js repository that gives you a fully working dApp with lot of ready to use components and features:

Playground

The lukso-playground repository is a great place to start playing around with dApps. It includes:

• ready-to-go network configurations with LUKSO Mainnet and Testnet.
• a full Hardhat setup to work with smart contracts.
• example scripts to fetch profile and asset metadata, update them, and even more code examples!
• sample contracts for Tokens, NFTs and Universal Receivers to build smart contracts based on the LSP standards.
• scripts to deploy and verify contracts on the network.
