This UI kit is designed to help developers and designers rapidly build consistent, accessible, and visually appealing frontend applications that interact seamlessly with the protocol.

Overview

The Protocol Interface provides a comprehensive, ready-to-use design system that empowers teams to create high-quality user interfaces for decentralized real estate applications. Whether you’re building a custom solution or adapting a white-label design, this UI kit offers the building blocks needed to accelerate development while ensuring consistency and adherence to best practices in UI/UX design.

Key Components

1. Component Library

The heart of the UI kit is its extensive library of reusable components. These components are designed to be flexible, accessible, and easy to integrate into any frontend project. Some key components include:

• Buttons, Forms, and Inputs: Standard UI elements with customizable themes and behaviors.
