Getting Started

Prerequisites

Burner Card Set

Burner Ethereum

Order here →

NFC Readers

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

HaLo Tools

HaLo Tools (Bridge)

Download from GitHub →

Node.js

Node.js 18+

Installation

1. Clone and install

git clone https://github.com/rdyplayerB/openburner.git
cd openburner
npm install

2. Configure environment

cp env.example .env.local

For 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_here

Note: API keys are only required when running locally. The hosted version is fully functional with all features enabled.

3. Set up HaLo Bridge

Download the bridge from HaLo Tools releases. Run it and grant consent:

http://127.0.0.1:32868/consent?website=http://localhost:3000

4. Run the app

npm run dev

Open http://localhost:3000

Next steps

  • • Tap your Burner Ethereum Card on the NFC reader
  • • Select from the network list or add your own custom network
  • • Add custom tokens by contract address (Native tokens show by default)
  • • Send or receive tokens
