Introduction

This document provides developers with a comprehensive guide to deploying the open-source cross-chain bridge frontend to a local environment. By deploying locally, users can run the cross-chain trading interface on their own servers or development environments while still connecting to third-party backend services (e.g., node RPCs, cross-chain bridge APIs), achieving the following core benefits:

🌟 Key Advantages

• Security & Transparency: Fully open-source frontend code eliminates risks of code tampering from third-party hosting platforms.

• Full Control: Customize UI, third-party backend service provider, and chain configurations to meet specific business needs.

• Developer-Friendly: Modular design for seamless integration with multi-chain ecosystems (EVM, Tron, Solana, etc.).

• Zero Dependency Risks: Quickly switch to backup service providers even if third-party services are upgraded or fail.

🛠️ Tech Stack

• Framework: nodeJS + Vue

• Chain Interaction: Web3.js / Ethers.js

• Styling: SCSS + Responsive Layout

• Build Tools: npm / yarn
