The "Setup Monster" is Killing Web3 Innovation. Let's Fix It.

We’ve all been there. You have a "vibe" for a new dApp. You open your IDE, ready to code the logic... and then you hit the wall. Two hours later, you’re still fighting with Hardhat configs, dependency conflicts, and broken RPC connections.
​For solo devs and indie hackers, time is the only currency that matters. If the setup takes longer than the actual coding, the project usually dies in a temp_folder.
​The Question:
ArcticChain Lab building Dev Kits to be the "unzip and ship" shortcut for the community. But I need to know—what part of the backend process actually drains your soul the most?
​Environment Setup: Is it the Node/Python/Tooling version hell?
​Smart Contract Logic: Writing secure, gas-optimized functions (VRFs, NFTs)?
​Security & Auditing: The constant fear of a bug because you didn't have a Slither config ready?
​Debugging: Spend more time in the console than the editor?I’ve started building simple, modular Dev Kits designed to be unzipped and deployed in one command. No complex theory—just setup.sh and you're live.
​I’m giving away one Dev Kit every day on [X (Twitter)] and [Farcaster] this week to get these into the hands of real builders.
​Help me build the next kit:
I currently have kits for VRF Lite, NFT Starters, and BugHunter Suites.

​What is missing? Tell me in the comments what specific contract or backend tool would save you the most time this weekend. I’ll build the most requested one next.
