Thirdweb v5 Integration

VerifiedSafe

This skill covers Thirdweb v5 SDK integration in AutoClaw, including wallet setup (inAppWallet, MetaMask, Coinbase, WalletConnect), SIWE authentication with payload generation and verification, web/API client creation, and React hooks (useActiveAccount, useConnect). Use it for wallet connection, social login, and custom dark theme with indigo accent colors.

Our review

This skill provides setup and usage guidance for Thirdweb v5 SDK for wallet connection, social login, SIWE authentication, and Thirdweb provider integration.

Strengths

  • Correctly handles Thirdweb v5 sub-path imports
  • Integrates SIWE authentication with JWT generation
  • Simplifies wallet configuration including inAppWallet and MetaMask

Limitations

  • Requires specific environment variables (client ID, secret key, etc.)
  • Targets only Celo mainnet (chain ID 42220)
When to use it

Use this skill when you need to integrate Thirdweb v5 for wallet connection, social login, or SIWE authentication in a web application.

When not to use it

Avoid this skill if you are using an older version of Thirdweb or if you do not need wallet connection or authentication.

Examples

Set up Thirdweb provider and wallet connection
Set up Thirdweb v5 with wallet connection including inAppWallet for email and social login, MetaMask, and Coinbase wallets. Use the correct sub-path imports and configure the provider stack with QueryClientProvider.
Implement SIWE authentication
Implement SIWE authentication using Thirdweb v5. Create an admin account from private key, set up createAuth, and generate payload, verify, and create JWT. Use the provided environment variables for client and secret key.
Connect wallet with social login
Use Thirdweb v5 to connect a wallet with social login options like Google and Apple. Use the useConnect hook and configure inAppWallet with auth options.

Critical: Thirdweb v5 Sub-Path Imports

Thirdweb v5 uses sub-path imports. Never import from the root thirdweb package for specialized modules:

// CORRECT
import { createThirdwebClient } from 'thirdweb';
import { inAppWallet, createWallet } from 'thirdweb/wallets';
import { darkTheme } from 'thirdweb/react';
import { createAuth } from 'thirdweb/auth';
import { privateKeyToAccount } from 'thirdweb/wallets';

// WRONG — do not import wallet/auth/react from root
import { inAppWallet } from 'thirdweb'; // ❌

Project Setup

Client (Web — apps/web/src/lib/thirdweb.ts)

import { createThirdwebClient } from 'thirdweb';

export const client = createThirdwebClient({
  clientId: process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_THIRDWEB_CLIENT_ID!,
});

Client (API — apps/api/src/lib/thirdweb.ts)

import { createThirdwebClient } from 'thirdweb';

export const thirdwebClient = createThirdwebClient({
  secretKey: process.env.THIRDWEB_SECRET_KEY,
});

Wallets Configuration

import { inAppWallet, createWallet } from 'thirdweb/wallets';

export const wallets = [
  inAppWallet({
    auth: { options: ['email', 'google', 'apple', 'passkey'] },
  }),
  createWallet('io.metamask'),
  createWallet('com.coinbase.wallet'),
  createWallet('walletConnect'),
];

SIWE Auth (Server-Side)

import { createAuth } from 'thirdweb/auth';
import { privateKeyToAccount } from 'thirdweb/wallets';

const adminAccount = privateKeyToAccount({
  client: thirdwebClient,
  privateKey: process.env.THIRDWEB_ADMIN_PRIVATE_KEY as `0x${string}`,
});

export const thirdwebAuth = createAuth({
  domain: process.env.AUTH_DOMAIN,
  client: thirdwebClient,
  adminAccount,
});

Auth flow: thirdwebAuth.generatePayload() → client signs → thirdwebAuth.verifyPayload() → JWT via thirdwebAuth.generateJWT().

Provider Stack (Web)

Wrap app with QueryClientProvider (from @tanstack/react-query) + ThirdwebProvider:

import { ThirdwebProvider } from 'thirdweb/react';

<QueryClientProvider client={queryClient}>
  <ThirdwebProvider>{children}</ThirdwebProvider>
</QueryClientProvider>

Theme

This project uses darkTheme() from thirdweb/react with custom indigo accent colors. See apps/web/src/lib/thirdweb.ts for the full theme config.

Environment Variables

| Variable | Location | Description | |---|---|---| | NEXT_PUBLIC_THIRDWEB_CLIENT_ID | Web | Public client ID | | THIRDWEB_SECRET_KEY | API | Server-side secret key | | THIRDWEB_ADMIN_PRIVATE_KEY | API | Admin wallet for SIWE signing | | AUTH_DOMAIN | API | SIWE auth domain |

Key Hooks

  • useActiveAccount() — Get connected wallet account
  • useActiveWallet() — Get connected wallet instance
  • useConnect() — Connect a wallet programmatically
  • useDisconnect() — Disconnect current wallet

Chain Configuration

This project targets Celo mainnet (chain ID 42220). When using ConnectButton, set chain={celo} from thirdweb/chains.
