React on the Blockchain - Getting Started Guide
summary
A compact getting-started guide that actually shows code and tools: it compiles and deploys an ERC‑20 token, runs truffle tests against a local Ganache chain, and demonstrates quick local transactions that succeed. Specific toolchain: Solidity + Remix for contracts, Truffle + Ganache (10 test accounts) for dev and migrations, and Web3.js / ethers.js for front-end integration with MetaMask and Infura. Notes versions, TypeChain typing, big‑number libs, and that local demos complete fast.
