How it's made
Challenges we ran into While building SplitMate, we encountered several technical challenges: 1. XMTP Integration Issues Setting up XMTP for group chat messaging initially failed due to connection inconsistencies and client authentication problems. We resolved this by thoroughly reading the XMTP docs and ensuring wallet signatures were correctly handled during the connection flow. 2. Coinbase Wallet Connection Bugs Connecting the Coinbase Wallet using the @coinbase/onchainkit package occasionally returned undefined or delayed wallet address data. This was due to improper handling of hydration and useEffect dependencies in Next.js. We fixed it by conditionally checking the connection state and deferring logic until the wallet was fully mounted.
