The Elephant in the Telephone Booth
Trying to fit a decentralized Web3 casino into every corner of the internet is like stuffing an elephant into a telephone booth. BetSwirl, already killing it in decentralized gaming, is making it possible with reusable components. Now, developers can slap these components into any webpage and bring decentralized gaming to their users without breaking a sweat. Here’s the scoop on how they’re doing it.
Cooking Up the Vibe
We kicked off with our imaginary memecoin hats on, dreaming up quirky backgrounds—wacky cats, space apes, and more—to set the stage for the memecoiners’ vibe. The first token in the mix? Just ETH on Base, keeping it simple yet powerful.
Storybook Magic
As components piled up, Storybook became our hero. It let us test "CoinToss" in light and dark themes, tweak designs live, and deploy demos in a snap—perfect for keeping the team in sync.
Styling Showdowns
Enter Coinbase’s OnchainKit for wallet magic—and a styling clash with Tailwind CSS. Overlapping styles broke our design until Tailwind layers stepped in. By isolating OnchainKit’s styles, we kept "CoinToss" looking sharp.
Lessons Learned
Integrate Early: Digging into OnchainKit docs sooner would’ve saved us rework.
Layer Up: Tailwind layers are our new go-to for CSS peace.
Hackathon Mode: Rapid prototyping catches hiccups fast.
Sneak Peek
Try It Yourself
Want to embed "CoinToss" in your own project? We’ve made it simple! We’ll be dropping documentation with step-by-step instructions on adding the game to any web page, and we’ll share the link to our example page once it’s live. Just remember, adding tokens to the bankroll is handled exclusively by the BetSwirl team.
What’s Next?
"CoinToss" is just the start—a reusable piece pre-set with chains like Base and tokens like BETS. We’re diving into OnchainKit, Base minikit, and Farcaster miniapps next. Ready to play? Check us out on GitHub, embed "CoinToss" yourself, or toss us your ideas. Join the ride!
Happy hacking!
