 # React Integration - Starknet Provider
 
-Under development...
+The **StarknetProvider.tsx** file is a crucial configuration component that establishes the connection between your Dojo game and the Starknet blockchain. This provider wrapper acts as the foundation for all blockchain interactions in your React application, coordinating wallet connections, network configurations, and RPC providers for seamless gaming experiences.
+
+## File Overview & Purpose
+
+The `StarknetProvider.tsx` file serves as the central configuration hub for Starknet React integration in Dojo games. It wraps your entire application with the necessary context providers that enable:
+
+- **Blockchain Connectivity**: Establishes connections to Starknet networks (mainnet, sepolia)
+- **Gaming-Optimized Wallet Integration**: Configures Cartridge Controller for frictionless gaming UX
+- **Environment-Based Network Management**: Handles automatic switching between different blockchain networks
+- **Session Continuity**: Provides React context for persistent blockchain state throughout your game
+
+> **Gaming-First Design**: Unlike traditional DeFi applications, this provider is specifically optimized for gaming experiences, prioritizing fast transactions, session management, and user-friendly wallet interactions that don't interrupt gameplay flow.
+
+## Complete Implementation
+
+```typescript
+import type { PropsWithChildren } from "react";
+import { sepolia, mainnet } from "@starknet-react/chains";
+import {
+    jsonRpcProvider,
+    StarknetConfig,
+    starkscan,
+} from "@starknet-react/core";
+import cartridgeConnector from "../config/cartridgeConnector";
+
+export default function StarknetProvider({ children }: PropsWithChildren) {
+    const { VITE_PUBLIC_DEPLOY_TYPE } = import.meta.env;
+
+    // Get RPC URL based on environment
+    const getRpcUrl = () => {
+        switch (VITE_PUBLIC_DEPLOY_TYPE) {
+            case "mainnet":
+                return "https://api.cartridge.gg/x/starknet/mainnet";
+            case "sepolia":
+                return "https://api.cartridge.gg/x/starknet/sepolia";
+            default:
+                return "https://api.cartridge.gg/x/starknet/sepolia"; 
+        }
+    };
+
+    // Create provider with the correct RPC URL
+    const provider = jsonRpcProvider({
+        rpc: () => ({ nodeUrl: getRpcUrl() }),
+    });
+
+    // Determine which chain to use
+    const chains = VITE_PUBLIC_DEPLOY_TYPE === "mainnet" 
+        ? [mainnet] 
+        : [sepolia];
+
+    return (
+        <StarknetConfig
+            autoConnect
+            chains={chains}
+            connectors={[cartridgeConnector]}
+            explorer={starkscan}
+            provider={provider}
+        >
+            {children}
+        </StarknetConfig>
+    );
+}
+```
+
+## Imports and Dependencies
+
+### Core React Types
+```typescript
+import type { PropsWithChildren } from "react";
+```
+
+**Purpose**: Provides TypeScript types for React components that accept children elements.
+
+**Gaming Context**: Enables the provider to wrap any React component tree with proper type safety, ensuring your entire game interface has access to blockchain functionality.
+
+### Starknet React Chains
+```typescript
+import { sepolia, mainnet } from "@starknet-react/chains";
+```
+
+**Purpose**: Pre-configured chain objects containing network-specific settings for Starknet networks.
+
+**Gaming Benefits**:
+- `sepolia`: Testnet perfect for game development and testing without real asset risk

+- Each chain includes optimized RPC endpoints and network identifiers for gaming applications
+
+### Starknet React Core
+```typescript
+import {
+    jsonRpcProvider,
+    StarknetConfig,
+    starkscan,
+} from "@starknet-react/core";
+```
+
+**Component Breakdown**:
+- `jsonRpcProvider`: Creates RPC providers optimized for gaming transaction patterns
+- `StarknetConfig`: Main configuration wrapper that enables gaming-focused blockchain integration
+- `starkscan`: Block explorer integration for players to view their game transactions and achievements
+
+### Gaming-Optimized Connector
+```typescript
+import cartridgeConnector from "../config/cartridgeConnector";
+```
+
+**Purpose**: Imports the Cartridge Controller connector specifically designed for gaming applications.
+
+**Gaming Advantages**: Cartridge Controller provides session-based wallet management, eliminating the need for players to sign every transaction during gameplay, creating a smooth gaming experience similar to traditional games.
+
+## Component Structure and Props
+
+### Function Signature
+```typescript
+export default function StarknetProvider({ children }: PropsWithChildren)
+```
+
+**Gaming Pattern**: This follows the standard React provider pattern, allowing any game component (menus, gameplay interfaces, inventory systems) to access blockchain functionality seamlessly.
+
+**Typical Game Usage**:
+```typescript
+<StarknetProvider>
+  <GameInterface />
+  <PlayerInventory />
+  <LeaderboardSystem />
+</StarknetProvider>
+```
+
+## Environment Configuration
+
+### Environment-Based Network Targeting
+```typescript
+const { VITE_PUBLIC_DEPLOY_TYPE } = import.meta.env;
+```
+
+**Gaming Deployment Strategy**:
+- **Development**: Uses sepolia testnet for safe game testing
+- **Production**: Switches to mainnet for live gaming with real assets
+- **Automatic Detection**: No manual network switching required for players
+
+**Environment Setup for Game Development**:
+
+```bash
+# .env.development - Safe testing environment
+VITE_PUBLIC_DEPLOY_TYPE=sepolia
+
+# .env.production - Live gaming environment  
+VITE_PUBLIC_DEPLOY_TYPE=mainnet
+```
+
+## RPC Provider Configuration
+
+### Gaming-Optimized RPC Selection
+```typescript
+const getRpcUrl = () => {
+    switch (VITE_PUBLIC_DEPLOY_TYPE) {
+        case "mainnet":
+            return "https://api.cartridge.gg/x/starknet/mainnet";
+        case "sepolia":
+            return "https://api.cartridge.gg/x/starknet/sepolia";
+        default:
+            return "https://api.cartridge.gg/x/starknet/sepolia"; 
+    }
+};
+```
+
+**Why Cartridge RPC Endpoints?**:
+- **Gaming Optimization**: Specifically tuned for game transaction patterns and session management
+- **High Performance**: Reduced latency for real-time gaming interactions
+- **Reliability**: Built for gaming applications that require consistent uptime
+- **Safe Defaults**: Automatically falls back to testnet to prevent accidental mainnet usage during development
+
+### Provider Creation
+```typescript
+const provider = jsonRpcProvider({
+    rpc: () => ({ nodeUrl: getRpcUrl() }),
+});
+```
+
+**Gaming Implementation**: Creates a JSON-RPC provider that automatically connects to the appropriate gaming-optimized endpoint based on your deployment environment, ensuring players always connect to the right network.
+
+## Chain Configuration
+
+### Dynamic Chain Selection for Gaming
+```typescript
+const chains = VITE_PUBLIC_DEPLOY_TYPE === "mainnet" 
+    ? [mainnet] 
+    : [sepolia];
+```
+
+**Gaming Logic**:
+- **Mainnet**: Production gaming environment where players' actions have real value
+- **Sepolia**: Safe testing environment for game development and QA
+- **Automatic Switching**: Players never need to manually configure networks
+
+**Player Experience**: The game automatically connects to the appropriate network, maintaining the seamless experience players expect from modern games.
