Open source forkable Ethereum dev stack
Scaffold-ETH 2 is an open-source toolkit designed for building decentralized applications (dapps) on the Ethereum blockchain. It provides developers with the tools they need to create and deploy smart contracts, as well as build user interfaces that interact with those contracts. Scaffold-ETH 2 is built using NextJS, RainbowKit, Hardhat, Wagmi, and Typescript. It offers features such as contract hot reload, custom hooks for simplified interactions with smart contracts, a collection of web3 components for building frontends, a burner wallet & local faucet for quick testing, integration with wallet providers, and a debug contracts tab.
To get started with Scaffold-ETH 2, you will need to install the following tools:
Once you have these tools installed, follow the steps below to install and set up Scaffold-ETH 2:
Clone the Scaffold-ETH 2 repository and install the dependencies.
git clone [repository-url]
cd scaffold-eth-2
yarn install
Run a local Ethereum network in the first terminal.
yarn hardhat node
This command starts a local Ethereum network using Hardhat. You can customize the network configuration in hardhat.config.ts.
Deploy the test contract on the local network in the second terminal.
yarn deploy
This command deploys a test smart contract to the local network. You can modify the contract located in packages/hardhat/contracts to suit your needs. The deployment script can also be customized.
Start your NextJS app in the third terminal.
yarn dev
Visit your app on: http://localhost:3000. You can interact with your smart contract using the Debug Contracts page. The app configuration can be tweaked in packages/nextjs/scaffold.config.ts.
Run smart contract tests using Hardhat in the fourth terminal.
yarn hardhat test
Edit your smart contract YourContract.sol located in packages/hardhat/contracts.
Edit your frontend files located in packages/nextjs/pages.
Edit your deployment scripts located in packages/hardhat/deploy.
