> Install CCC, send your first transaction, and learn what CCC can do for you.




New to CCC? Start here. This section walks you from "never heard of CKB" to a signed transaction broadcast on-chain — in three short pages.

CCC (CKBers' Codebase) is the one-stop TypeScript / JavaScript SDK for the CKB blockchain. It gives you a single, typed API for the things every on-chain app needs: composing transactions against CKB's cell model, completing inputs and fees automatically, and signing through a unified `Signer` interface that works across CKB-native, EVM (MetaMask), Bitcoin (UniSat, Xverse), Nostr, and Doge wallets. The same core runs in the browser, in React, in a Web Component, and in a Node.js backend, so you learn the API once and reuse it everywhere.

You don't need prior CKB experience to follow along. If you can write TypeScript and use `npm`, you can complete this section. The three pages below are designed to be read in order — Introduction explains the concepts and ecosystem, Quick Start gets a real transfer on-chain, and Installation shows how to wire CCC into your specific stack.

## What you'll learn [#what-youll-learn]

* **What CCC is** — the one-stop TypeScript / JavaScript SDK for the CKB blockchain, and the kinds of apps you can build with it.
* **How to install it** — pick the right package for your environment: React, Node.js, Web Component, or a custom UI.
* **How to send a transaction** — scaffold an app with `create-ccc-app`, connect a wallet, and broadcast a real transfer in under five minutes.

After this section, head to [Core Concepts](./concepts) for the primitives behind every CCC app, or jump straight to a [Guide](./guides) for the task you're building.
