Build a Token-Gated Web Page for Base Chain NFTs with Coinbase’s OnchainKit and Next.js

Easy-peasy, let’s get it done!

Imagine you’re part of an NFT community, and you want to offer exclusive perks to your holders — say, a token-gated website that only your NFT-owning community can access. With Coinbase’s OnchainKit and Next.js, you can build this in no time.

Coinbase’s OnchainKit uses Next.js, which is kinda-sorta the same as React. I like to call it “React on steroids,” as it really fast-tracks a lot of things that we’re all used to spending more time on than we’d like. (The routing, alone, is just so easy in Next.js!) Ready? Let’s dive in!

To begin, you’ll need to have an account with the Coinbase Developer Program, and then login to that account. Then, hit up their OnchainKit at:

https://portal.cdp.coinbase.com/products/onchainkit

You’ll be greeted with a pre-made Client API Key to get started. Copy that and then run the install script:

npm install @coinbase/onchainkit

Once that’s done, navigate to the project directory it creates (mine is called “jdsandbox”) and complete the setup.

npm install
