name	thirdweb
description	Thirdweb v5 SDK usage in AutoClaw. Use when working with wallet connection, social login, SIWE authentication, or thirdweb client/provider setup. Triggers on: "thirdweb", "wallet connect", "inAppWallet", "social login", "SIWE", "ConnectButton", "thirdweb auth", "thirdweb provider".

Critical: Thirdweb v5 Sub-Path Imports

Thirdweb v5 uses sub-path imports. Never import from the root thirdweb package for specialized modules:

// CORRECT
import { createThirdwebClient } from 'thirdweb';
import { inAppWallet, createWallet } from 'thirdweb/wallets';
import { darkTheme } from 'thirdweb/react';
import { createAuth } from 'thirdweb/auth';
import { privateKeyToAccount } from 'thirdweb/wallets';

// WRONG — do not import wallet/auth/react from root
import { inAppWallet } from 'thirdweb'; // ❌

Project Setup

Client (Web — apps/web/src/lib/thirdweb.ts)

import { createThirdwebClient } from 'thirdweb';

export const client = createThirdwebClient({
  clientId: process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_THIRDWEB_CLIENT_ID!,
});

Client (API — apps/api/src/lib/thirdweb.ts)

import { createThirdwebClient } from 'thirdweb';

export const thirdwebClient = createThirdwebClient({
  secretKey: process.env.THIRDWEB_SECRET_KEY,
});

Wallets Configuration

import { inAppWallet, createWallet } from 'thirdweb/wallets';

export const wallets = [
  inAppWallet({
    auth: { options: ['email', 'google', 'apple', 'passkey'] },
  }),
  createWallet('io.metamask'),
  createWallet('com.coinbase.wallet'),
  createWallet('walletConnect'),
];

SIWE Auth (Server-Side)

import { createAuth } from 'thirdweb/auth';
import { privateKeyToAccount } from 'thirdweb/wallets';

const adminAccount = privateKeyToAccount({
  client: thirdwebClient,
  privateKey: process.env.THIRDWEB_ADMIN_PRIVATE_KEY as `0x${string}`,
});

export const thirdwebAuth = createAuth({
  domain: process.env.AUTH_DOMAIN,
  client: thirdwebClient,
  adminAccount,
});

Auth flow: thirdwebAuth.generatePayload() → client signs → thirdwebAuth.verifyPayload() → JWT via thirdwebAuth.generateJWT().

Provider Stack (Web)

Wrap app with QueryClientProvider (from @tanstack/react-query) + ThirdwebProvider:

import { ThirdwebProvider } from 'thirdweb/react';

<QueryClientProvider client={queryClient}>
  <ThirdwebProvider>{children}</ThirdwebProvider>
</QueryClientProvider>

Theme

This project uses darkTheme() from thirdweb/react with custom indigo accent colors. See apps/web/src/lib/thirdweb.ts for the full theme config.
