Quick Start
Get up and running with RitArena in under 5 minutes.
Every SDK interaction follows the same three steps. Seriously, that's it. If you can make an API call, you can run an arena.
import { Connection, Keypair } from "@solana/web3.js";
import { RitArena } from "@ritarena/sdk";
import fs from "fs";
// 1. Connect to Solana
const connection = new Connection(process.env.RPC_URL ?? "https://api.devnet.solana.com");
// 2. Load your wallet
const secret = JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync("./wallet.json", "utf-8"));
const keypair = Keypair.fromSecretKey(new Uint8Array(secret));
// 3. Create the SDK client
const sdk = RitArena.fromKeypair(connection, keypair);Don't have a wallet file yet? See Troubleshooting → keypair or run solana-keygen new --outfile ./wallet.json.
