Welcome to Scaffold-eth

Scaffold-eth is everything you need to get started building decentralized applications on Ethereum! 🚀

About Scaffold-eth

Scaffold-eth provides an out-of-the-shelf stack for rapid prototyping on Ethereum, giving developers access to state-of-the-art tools to quickly learn and ship an Ethereum-based dApp.

The Scaffold-eth stack

Scaffold-eth is not a product itself but more of a combination or stack of other great products. It allows you to quickly build and iterate over your smart contracts and frontends. It leverages:

Hardhat for running local networks, deploying and testing smart contracts.
React for building a frontend, using many useful pre-made components and hooks.
Ant for your UI. But can be easily changed to Bootstrap or some other library you prefer.
Surge for publishing your app.
Tenderly / The Graph / Etherscan / Infura / Blocknative and more!
Support for L2 / Sidechains like Optimism and Arbitrum.

Installation and setup

⚠️ First, make sure you have: Node plus Yarn and Git

git clone https://github.com/austintgriffith/scaffold-eth.git
cd scaffold-eth
yarn install
yarn chain

in a second terminal window:

cd scaffold-eth
yarn start

in a third terminal window:

cd scaffold-eth
yarn deploy

If everything goes smoothly you should now have a local network running, with the starter contracts deployed and the frontend React app running on https://localhost:3000.
