🏗 Scaffold-ETH 2

Documentation | Website

🧪 An open-source, up-to-date toolkit for building decentralized applications (dapps) on the Ethereum blockchain. It's designed to make it easier for developers to create and deploy smart contracts and build user interfaces that interact with those contracts.

[!NOTE] 🤖 Scaffold-ETH 2 is AI-ready! It has everything agents need to build on Ethereum. Check .agents/, .claude/, .opencode or .cursor/ for more info.

⚙️ Built using NextJS, RainbowKit, Foundry/Hardhat, Wagmi, Viem, and Typescript.

• ✅ Contract Hot Reload: Your frontend auto-adapts to your smart contract as you edit it.
• 🪝 Custom hooks: Collection of React hooks wrapper around wagmi to simplify interactions with smart contracts with typescript autocompletion.
• 🧱 Components: Collection of common web3 components to quickly build your frontend.
• 🔥 Burner Wallet & Local Faucet: Quickly test your application with a burner wallet and local faucet.
• 🔐 Integration with Wallet Providers: Connect to different wallet providers and interact with the Ethereum network.

Requirements

Before you begin, you need to install the following tools:

• Node (>= v22.10.0)
• Yarn (v1 or v2+)
• Git

Quickstart

To get started with Scaffold-ETH 2, follow the steps below:

1. Install the latest version of Scaffold-ETH 2

npx create-eth@latest

This command will install all the necessary packages and dependencies, so it might take a while.

[!NOTE] You can also initialize your project with one of our extensions to add specific features or starter-kits. Learn more in our extensions documentation.

2. Run a local network in the first terminal:

yarn chain

This command starts a local Ethereum network that runs on your local machine and can be used for testing and development. Learn how to customize your network configuration.

3. On a second terminal, deploy the test contract:

yarn deploy

This command deploys a test smart contract to the local network. You can find more information about how to customize your contract and deployment script in our documentation.

4. On a third terminal, start your NextJS app:

yarn start

Visit your app on: http://localhost:3000. You can interact with your smart contract using the Debug Contracts page. You can tweak the app config in packages/nextjs/scaffold.config.ts.
