Rootstock Scaffold, the dev toolkit designed to facilitate easy dApp development is now live on Rootstock. This project, which takes inspiration from the original Scaffold-ETH, enables you to create, debug and deploy your smart contracts and build user interfaces that interact with those contracts.
What is Rootstock Scaffold?
Rootstock Scaffold is an open-source development toolkit built for developers, by developers. It provides a simple way to build, debug, and deploy dApps on Rootstock. It’s built with a modern tech stack, including Next.js, RainbowKit, Hardhat, Wagmi, Viem, and TypeScript, to help you get from idea to dApp faster than ever. View the complete Stack.
Key Features
Rootstock Scaffold comes packed with features to accelerate your workflow and enhance your development experience:
Some features include:
- Contract Hot Reload: Your frontend automatically adapts to your smart contract as you edit it, providing a seamless and real-time development experience.
- Custom hooks: A comprehensive collection of React hooks wrapped around Wagmi simplifies smart contract interactions with full TypeScript autocompletion.
- Pre-Built Components: Quickly build your user interface with a collection of common Web3 components.
- Burner Wallet & Local Faucet: Rapidly test your application with a temporary burner wallet and a local faucet for instant transaction testing.
- Wallet Provider Integration: Connect to various wallet providers and easily interact with the Rootstock network.
Stack
Scaffold-Rootstock is a stack of tools that enables rapid prototyping and iteration on your dApps. It includes:
- Hardhat or Foundry (user’s choice) for running local networks, deploying and testing smart contracts.
- Wagmi for React Hooks to start working with Rootstock.
- Viem as a low-level interface that provides primitives to interact with Rootstock. The alternative to ethers.js and web3.js.
- NextJS for building a frontend, using many useful pre-made hooks.
- RainbowKit for adding wallet connections.
- DaisyUI for pre-built Tailwind CSS components.
