siwe-quickstart-flask

Introduction

A simple app that allows a user to connect their Metamask wallet, sign in and see some information about themselves.

Based on the siwe-quickstart demo by Spruce, changing the backend from NodeJs to Flask. Lots of help from the django-siwe-auth demo written by Payton.

Tech Stack

• Python3 and Flask as server language and server framework
• HTML, NodeJs for the frontend
• SIWE and SIWE-py for Ethereum-based authentication

Running Locally

In Anaconda, install siwe-py using pip:

pip install siwe

Run the Flask server

set FLASK_APP=app.py
flask run

In a separate terminal navigate into the frontend folder

cd frontend

Install all the necessary packages

npm install

Launch the frontend

npm run dev

Deploy to Heroku

Coming Soon

TODOs

• logout button
• display signed in address on frontend
