# dAppBooster Canton

> dAppBooster Canton is a free, open-source development stack for Canton dApps. It ships canton-base (a Dockerised local Canton participant), the Carpincho browser-extension wallet, and a Counter reference app (Daml package, wallet-service bridge, and React frontend), so you can run a full Canton flow locally and fork it for your own dApp.

dAppBooster includes an end-to-end example. Run it, fork it, or read it as a starting point. The example exercises every step of the loop: write a Daml template, deploy the DAR, pair the browser wallet, and sign a real Canton transaction.

## Approach

dAppBooster solves a different problem: a fast Canton dApp development loop.

- **Quickstart**: login → Canton user → party rights → backend-mediated app
- **dAppBooster**: browser wallet key → external party → cryptographic signature → Canton transaction
- CLI-based project scaffolding via `npx dappbooster --canton`

## Getting Started

Run `npx dappbooster --canton` in your terminal and follow the prompts. No prior Canton experience required. dAppBooster Canton is completely free and open-source with no licensing costs.
