Guides

Task-oriented, step-by-step guides for building Cardano wallet apps with Hydra SDK.

These guides are practical, task-oriented walkthroughs. Each one takes you from a goal to working code. For conceptual background see Concepts; for exact signatures see the API Reference.

Build a Wallet App

Scaffold a complete wallet application — clone-and-run for React or Vue, or build it yourself with a service-layer architecture.

Building Transactions

Build, sign, and submit transactions — including multi-signature signing and Plutus lock/unlock.

Mint & Burn Tokens

Create and destroy native tokens with minting policies and metadata.

Hydra Integration

Connect to a Hydra Head, submit transactions, and handle the common pitfalls.

Utilities Cookbook

Recipes for datums, redeemers, policies, time/slot conversion, and providers.

Import cardano-cli Keys

Generate keys with cardano-cli and load them into the SDK.

Configuration

Configure your build tools and environment for Hydra SDK

Build a Wallet App

Assemble a complete Cardano and Hydra Layer 2 wallet app — clone a ready-made React or Vue starter, or build the service layer yourself.
