## What it is
RainbowKit is a React library for adding wallet connection UI and management to Ethereum dapps. It is built on wagmi and viem and provides a customizable connect button, modal, theming, and multi-wallet support.

## Use cases
- add wallet connection to a react dapp
- connect metamask and other wallets to my web3 app
- customize a connect wallet button and modal
- support EIP-1193 and EIP-6963 wallet standards
- show ENS names and balances for connected wallets
- sign in with ethereum authentication in next.js
- build a multi-chain wallet switcher

## When to choose
- you are building a React-based Ethereum dapp and want polished wallet UX out of the box
- you want theming, dark mode, and a customizable wallet list without writing it yourself
- your stack already uses wagmi and viem

## When to avoid
- your app is not React-based
- you need non-EVM chains or a chain-agnostic wallet layer
- you want a fully headless wallet connection layer with no bundled UI

## Facets
- artifact type: library
