I recommend the ACR1252U (left) for the best experience, but the ACR122U (right) is also compatible.

HaLo Tools (Bridge)

Node.js 18+
Installation
1. Clone and install
git clone https://github.com/rdyplayerB/openburner.git
cd openburner
npm install2. Configure environment
cp env.example .env.localFor local development, you'll need API keys:
- CoinGecko - Get a free API key from CoinGecko for token prices and icons
- 0x - Get a free API key from 0x API for token swaps
Example .env.local:
NEXT_PUBLIC_COINGECKO_API_KEY=your_coingecko_api_key_here
NEXT_PUBLIC_0X_API_KEY=your_0x_api_key_hereNote: API keys are only required when running locally. The hosted version is fully functional with all features enabled.
