In plain English

Ink Kit was a React component library designed for onchain applications, applications that interact with a blockchain. It provided UI components, app layouts, and themes, along with a wallet connection component built on wagmi (a library for connecting users' crypto wallets to a web application). The repository was archived in October 2025, meaning it is no longer actively maintained. New projects should not build on it, the README itself leads with a recommendation to use modern alternatives instead. For general React UI components, it points to options like shadcn/ui, Radix UI, Chakra UI, and Mantine. For wallet connectivity specifically, it suggests RainbowKit or ConnectKit. For developers who already have an existing project using Ink Kit, the package is still available on npm at version 0.9.1-beta.19, and Storybook documentation remains accessible. The code is available under the MIT license for anyone who wants to reference or fork it.
