Tools and IDE Plugins

Smart Contract Development Tools

  • Remix is a free, browser-based Integrated Development Environment (IDE) which allows you to create, test, and deploy smart contracts on the Ethereum network. By offering a straightforward and user-friendly interface for creating and deploying smart contracts, it is intended to make it simpler for developers to get started with creating decentralized applications (dapps). You may create, examine, and implement Solidity-based smart contracts with Remix. Additionally, it features a simulation environment for testing contracts before putting them to the blockchain as well as debugging tools. Additionally, the utility offers plugins.
  • Truffle Suite is a collection of all-inclusive tools that makes it easier to create, test, and deploy smart contracts on any EVM network, such as the Humans.ai network in Javascript/Typescript. The package includes Truffle, which simplifies the construction of smart contracts by enabling building, testing, debugging, and deployment. With UI and CLI functions, Ganache offers a quick and simple local blockchain development environment. The frontend libraries in Drizzle provide standard-compliant wallet connection, account, and contract state management using React components.
  • Hardhat is a JS/TS library that enables thorough testing, developing, and deploying of smart contracts. Many plugins are included in Hardhat to support future advancements.
  • Foundry is a Rust toolkit that enables quick, portable, and modular application development for chains that are compatible with Ethereum and the EVM.

Open Sourced Contracts

  • OpenZeppelin includes battle-tested libraries of smart contracts for Ethereum-compatible chains.

IDE

  • Truffle for VSCode is a Visual Studio Code extension that makes it easier to design, develop, test, and deploy smart contracts on blockchains that are compatible with Ethereum and the EVM.
