# Getting Started
OnchainKit is your go-to SDK for building beautiful onchain applications. Ship in minutes, not weeks.
Anyone can build an onchain app in 15 minutes with OnchainKit. No blockchain experience required.
## Why OnchainKit?
OnchainKit streamlines app development by providing a comprehensive toolkit that combines powerful onchain features with developer-friendly design:
* **Ergonomic design:** Full-stack tools that make complex onchain interactions intuitive
* **Battle-tested patterns:** Industry best practices packaged into ready-to-use solutions
* **Purpose-built components:** Pre-built modules for common onchain workflows
* **Framework agnostic:** Compatible with any React-supporting framework
* **Supercharged by Base:** Deep integration with Base's protocol features and ecosystem
## Automatic Installation
We recommend starting a new OnchainKit app using `create onchain`, which sets up everything automatically for you. To create a project, run:
```bash Terminal
npm create onchain@latest
```
After the prompts, `create onchain` will create a folder with your project name and install the required dependencies.
You can also checkout our pre-built templates:
* [Onchain Commerce](https://onchain-commerce-template.vercel.app/)
* [NFT minting](https://ock-mint.vercel.app/)
* [Funding flow](https://github.com/fakepixels/fund-component)
* [Social profile](https://github.com/fakepixels/ock-identity)
These docs are LLM-friendly—reference [OnchainKit AI Prompting Guide](/onchainkit/guides/ai-prompting-guide) in your code editor to streamline builds and prompt smarter.
