This quick start points to the [Rootstock Collective starter kit](https://github.com/rsksmart/rootstock-collective-starter-kit), a sample dApp that uses [`@rsksmart/collective-sdk`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@rsksmart/collective-sdk) for staking RIF, listing proposals, and voting on Rootstock Mainnet or Testnet.

## What you do here

Follow the **Setup** section in the repo README: clone, copy `.env` from `.env.example`, set the variables it describes, install, and run `npm run dev`. That README is the **only** canonical place for install commands and environment keys so they stay in sync with the kit.

## Prerequisites

- Node.js 18+
- A Reown (WalletConnect) project ID for the dApp (see README)
- Optional Rootstock RPC API key for higher rate limits (see README)
- A wallet on Rootstock (chain ID 30 or 31) with tRBTC for gas and RIF or stRIF as needed for flows you test

## After the app runs

For how SDK calls map to `src/` files, simulation before writes, governance UX edge cases, and a production checklist, use the use case guide:
