Instead of writing smart contracts manually, Famous.ai generates the blockchain infrastructure and user interface automatically from a prompt. Your role is to define the idea, configure the token, and review the contract before deployment.
This guide walks through the entire process of building your crypto project inside Famous.ai before launch.
Understanding How Crypto Apps Work
Before building your project, it helps to understand the core technology involved.
Crypto applications run on smart contracts, which are programs stored on the blockchain. A smart contract defines the rules of your token and executes them automatically.
Smart contracts typically control:
How many tokens exist
Who owns the tokens
How tokens transfer between users
Whether new tokens can be minted or burned
Any additional project logic such as staking or governance
Once deployed, the blockchain permanently stores the contract. This means you cannot edit or delete it later, so reviewing the code carefully before launch is essential.
Your crypto app also interacts with a Web3 wallet, which allows users to connect to the blockchain and sign transactions. The most widely used wallet is MetaMask, which we will set up during the process.
Step 1: Start Your Project in Famous.ai
Begin by opening Famous.ai and entering a detailed prompt describing your crypto application. The more specific your prompt is, the better the generated project will be.
A strong prompt should include:
The purpose of the project
Token name and symbol
Total supply of tokens
Initial token distribution
Core user actions (buy, transfer, view balance)
Dashboard features or analytics
Desired UI style or theme
Example Prompt:
"Build a real estate investment platform where users connect their Web3 wallets and buy $BRICK tokens. Each token represents a share in a tokenized property portfolio. Total supply is 10 million tokens and I receive 100% of the tokens initially. Users can connect their wallet, view their balance, and buy tokens. Include a dashboard showing total supply, wallet balance, and a tokenomics section explaining the project. Use a clean real estate investment theme."
After writing your prompt:
Select Crypto from the project type selector.
Submit the prompt.
Wait while Famous.ai generates your project.
The platform will automatically build a smart contract, a crypto-enabled frontend interface, wallet connection functionality, and token interaction logic. Within a few minutes, your crypto app will be ready for configuration.
Step 2: Install MetaMask
While Famous.ai builds your project, set up your wallet. MetaMask is a browser extension that allows you to interact with blockchain applications.
To install it:
Visit MetaMask.io.
Click Download.
Install the Chrome extension.
Open the extension to begin wallet setup.
Your wallet acts as your identity on the blockchain and allows you to approve transactions.
Step 3: Set Up Your MetaMask Wallet
When opening MetaMask for the first time, you can either create a new wallet or import an existing one.
Creating a New Wallet
MetaMask provides two security options:
1. Secret Recovery Phrase (SRP)
This is the traditional self-custody method. MetaMask generates a 12-word recovery phrase that gives full control of your wallet.
Important rules:
Anyone with the phrase can control your funds.
MetaMask cannot recover the wallet if you lose it.
Store it offline in a secure location.
Never store it in cloud storage or email.
The recovery phrase allows you to restore the wallet on any MetaMask installation.
2. Social Login MetaMask also allows wallet creation through Google or Apple login.
Access requires both your password and your social account.
Losing either one locks the wallet permanently.
The recovery phrase still exists but remains encrypted behind the login system.
This option simplifies onboarding but depends on your external account security.
Importing an Existing Wallet
If you already have a crypto wallet, you can import it into MetaMask. During setup, select Import existing wallet and enter your secret recovery phrase. Importing does not move funds; it simply allows MetaMask to manage the wallet.
Step 4: Connect MetaMask to Famous.ai
Once your wallet is ready and your project is built, connect the two.
Inside your Famous.ai project:
Click Connect MetaMask.
A MetaMask pop-up appears.
Review the permissions.
Choose the wallet account.
Click Connect.
Your wallet now links to your application. This connection allows your project to read wallet balances, submit blockchain transactions, and deploy smart contracts. Every action still requires manual approval from your wallet.
Step 5: Review Your Smart Contract
Before deploying anything, carefully review the smart contract code. Remember: smart contracts cannot be edited once deployed.
Inside your Famous.ai project:
Navigate to Contracts.
Locate the contract file (for example,
BrickToken.sol).Open the Code tab.
Review the logic.
Things to confirm include:
Token name and symbol
Total supply
Initial ownership distribution
Transfer rules
Minting or burning permissions
If you are not a developer, paste the contract code into an AI assistant and ask for a plain-language explanation of each section. Taking time to review the contract now can prevent major issues later.
Once everything looks correct, your project is ready for deployment.
What Comes Next
At this point you have:
Built your crypto application
Generated the smart contract
Connected your wallet
Reviewed the contract logic
The next step is deploying the project to the blockchain and testing the token.
