It provided UI components, app layouts and themes, plus a wallet connection component built on wagmi.My project already uses Ink Kit — will it keep working, and where do I get the package?Yes — the npm package remains published and installable, and the Storybook documentation and GitHub repository stay online as reference. Nothing breaks; you just won't get new versions.

The styling stack leans on Tailwind tooling: Headless UI, clsx, class-variance-authority and tailwind-merge.

The README itself points you to modern alternatives for both general UI and web3 components.
