Privy

This section will guide you through setting up Privy authentication and configuring Solana environment variables for The DAO Tool.

Privy handles secure wallet creation, which is attached to your account upon sign-up, while the Solana variables allow you to connect to your preferred RPC endpoint for on-chain operations.

SOLANA INTEGRATION

1. Set Up Privy

CREATE APP

Head to the Privy Dashboard and follow these steps:

• Click "Create App"

• Select "Web" as the platform

• Once created, you'll get:

  • Privy App ID

  • Privy App Secret

You can also find these under App Settings → Basic section later.

PRIVY CREDENTIALS

For more, check out Privy Docs to explore available auth flows and configuration options.

Add these to your /server/.env file:

PRIVY_APP_ID=your-app-id
PRIVY_APP_SECRET=your-app-secret

2. Configure Solana Environment

To connect to the Solana network and perform wallet-based payouts, you need two key values.

SOLANA_CAIP2

This is a chain ID used for CAIP-2-compatible blockchain identification. For Solana Mainnet, use:

SOLANA_CAIP2=solana:mainnet

For Devnet, use:

SOLANA_CAIP2=solana:devnet

SOLANA_RPC_URL

This is your RPC endpoint to send transactions and fetch account data. You can use the public RPC or a private one (recommended for scale). Example:

SOLANA_RPC_URL=https://api.mainnet-beta.solana.com

You may also use providers like QuickNode, Alchemy, or Helius for improved speed and reliability.

That’s it! You’re all set to integrate Privy auth and connect your app to the Solana network.
