This guide walks you through using the template which uses Next.js, Serwist (offline capabilities), 0x (token trading), and Privy embedded wallet (authentication) to build a Progressive Web Application (PWA) on Monad.

Prerequisites

  1. Create your Privy app: Create your app Select “Web” as the platform. Then, click “Create app”. Name your app On the next screen, make sure to save your App ID.
  2. Set up login methods: Set up login methods
  3. Disable External Wallets: Disable external wallets
  4. Scroll down and enable “Automatically create embedded wallets on login” and select “EVM Wallets”: Create wallets automatically
You can enable “Test Accounts” for testing purposes.Test accounts
  1. Create your 0x account: Go to 0x dashboard and create your account. On the next screen, make sure to save your API Key.
  2. Get your API Key: To get your API key, create an app and then go to API Keys. Copy the API key and save it for later.

Setup

  1. Clone the repository:
  2. cd into the project directory:
  3. Install dependencies:
  4. Create a .env.local file in the root directory:
  5. Start adding your environment variables to the .env.local file:
    If you lost your Privy App ID, you can find it in the Privy dashboard.
  6. Generate VAPID keys for web push notifications:
    Copy the generated keys to your .env.local file (replace the placeholder values from step 5).
  7. Running the Application: Development Mode:
    The application will be available at http://localhost:3000. Production Mode: For full PWA functionality (including install prompts):

Folder structure of the template

Changing the app name

  • Edit public/manifest.json:
    • Change the name and short_name fields
  • Run npm run build to update the app

Notification Setup

To receive push notifications from this app, you need to enable notifications in your browser and/or system settings:

Browser Settings

  1. Click the lock icon 🔒 in the address bar
  2. Set “Notifications” to “Allow”
  3. Or go to Settings → Privacy and security → Site Settings → Notifications
  1. Click the shield icon 🛡️ in the address bar
  2. Turn off “Enhanced Tracking Protection” for this site (if needed)
  3. Allow notifications when prompted
  4. Or go to Settings → Privacy & Security → Permissions → Notifications
  1. Go to Safari → Settings → Websites → Notifications
  2. Find your site and set it to “Allow”

System Settings

  1. System Preferences → Notifications & Focus
  2. Find your browser and ensure notifications are enabled
  3. Check “Allow notifications from websites” in browser settings
  1. Settings → System → Notifications & actions
  2. Ensure your browser can send notifications
  3. Check browser notification settings
  1. Settings → Notifications → [Your Browser]
  2. Enable “Allow Notifications”
  3. Also enable in browser settings
  1. Settings → Apps → [Your Browser] → Notifications
  2. Enable notifications
  3. Check browser notification permissions

Backend Integration Required

This requires backend implementation:
  • Save subscription data when users subscribe (see TODO comments in code)
  • Delete subscription data when users unsubscribe
  • Implement /notification endpoint to send actual push notifications
  • Use web-push library or similar for server-side notification delivery

Customizing Notification Content

To customize your push notification content, edit app/notification/route.ts and modify the title, message, icon, and other properties in the sendNotification call.

Modifying the App Icon & Splash Screen

App Icons

Replace the icon files in the public/icons/ directory with your custom icons:
  • icon-512x512.png - Main app icon (512×512px)
  • android-chrome-192x192.png - Android icon (192×192px)
  • apple-touch-icon.png - iOS home screen icon (180×180px)
Also update the favicon:

Splash Screen

Splash screens are automatically generated from your app icon and theme colors defined in manifest.json. To customize:
  1. Update the theme_color and background_color in manifest.json
  2. Ensure your main icon (icon-512x512.png) represents your brand
  3. Run npm run build to apply changes
Use tools like PWA Asset Generator to create all required icon sizes from a single source image.

Adding More Tokens

The template currently supports WMON and USDT tokens. To add more tokens for trading, follow these steps:

1. Find Token Information

Before adding a token, you’ll need the following information:
  • Contract Address: The token’s smart contract address
  • Symbol: The token’s symbol (e.g., “ETH”, “USDC”)
  • Name: The full name of the token
  • Decimals: Number of decimal places (usually 18 for most ERC-20 tokens)
  • Logo URI: URL to the token’s logo image
You can find this information on the DEXes that 0x Swap API supports. To get the DEXes that 0x Swap API supports, you can query the sources endpoint. For reference, see getSources page.

2. Update Token Constants

Edit utils/constants.ts and add your new token to three places:

A. Add to MONAD_TESTNET_TOKENS array

utils/constants.ts

B. Add to MONAD_TESTNET_TOKENS_BY_SYMBOL record

utils/constants.ts

C. Add to MONAD_TESTNET_TOKENS_BY_ADDRESS record

utils/constants.ts

3. Example: Adding shMON

Here’s a complete example of adding USDC:
utils/constants.ts

4. Important Notes

  • Decimals: Most tokens use 18 decimals, but some (like USDT, USDC) use 6
  • Logo URLs: Use permanent, reliable image URLs. Consider hosting logos yourself for better reliability
  • Testing: Test thoroughly with small amounts before using in production
  • 0x Protocol Support: Ensure the token is supported by 0x Protocol for your target network

5. Rebuild and Test

After adding tokens:
The new tokens will automatically appear in the token selector dropdowns in the swap interface.

Configuring Slippage Tolerance

Slippage tolerance determines how much price movement you’re willing to accept during a trade. The app currently uses the 0x API’s default slippage tolerance of 1% (100 basis points).

Adding Slippage Configuration

1. Update Constants

Add slippage options to utils/constants.ts:
utils/constants.ts

2. Update API Routes

Add slippageBps parameter to both API routes: app/api/price/route.ts and app/api/quote/route.ts:
app/api/price/route.ts

3. Add Slippage to Components

Update the price/quote requests to include slippageBps parameter: In app/components/0x/price.tsx:
app/components/0x/price.tsx

Slippage Parameter Details

  • Range: 0-10000 basis points (0%-100%)
  • Default: 100 (1%)
  • Format: Basis points (100 bps = 1%)
Reference: 0x API Documentation

Deploying to Vercel

Using Vercel Dashboard

  1. Connect your repository:
    • Push your code to GitHub
    • Visit vercel.com and import your repository
  2. Configure environment variables:
    • In your Vercel project dashboard, go to Settings → Environment Variables
    • Add the same variables from your .env.local:
  3. Deploy: Vercel will automatically build and deploy your app
  4. Update Privy settings: In your Privy dashboard, add your Vercel domain (e.g., your-app.vercel.app) to the allowed origins
PWA features (install prompts, offline support, push notifications) work automatically on HTTPS domains like Vercel deployments.

Using Vercel CLI

Alternatively, deploy using the Vercel CLI:
  1. Install Vercel CLI:
  2. Login to Vercel:
  3. Deploy:
    Follow the prompts to configure your project.
  4. Add environment variables:
    Or you can go to the Vercel dashboard and add the environment variables there.
