Scaffold-OP is a fork of Scaffold-ETH2 with minimal differences, providing additional dApp examples, native support for Superchain testnets, and more low-level instructions. We highly recommend the Scaffold-ETH2 docs as the primary guideline.
🧪 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.
⚙️ Built using NextJS, RainbowKit, 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.
Before you begin, you need to install the following tools:
- Node (>= v18.17)
- Yarn (v1 or v2+)
- Git
To get started with Scaffold-OP, follow the steps below:
- Clone this repo & install dependencies
git clone https://github.com/ethereum-optimism/scaffold-op.git
cd scaffold-op
yarn install
- Run a local network in the first terminal:
yarn chain
This command starts a local Ethereum network using Hardhat. The network runs on your local machine and can be used for testing and development. You can customize the network configuration in hardhat.config.ts
.
- On a second terminal, deploy the test contract:
yarn deploy
This command deploys a test smart contract to the local network. The contract is located in packages/hardhat/contracts
and can be modified to suit your needs. The yarn deploy
command uses the deploy script located in packages/hardhat/deploy
to deploy the contract to the network. You can also customize the deploy script.
- On the same 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
.
Run smart contract test with yarn hardhat:test
- Edit your smart contract
YourContract.sol
inpackages/hardhat/contracts
- Edit your frontend in
packages/nextjs/pages
- Edit your deployment scripts in
packages/hardhat/deploy
To deploy contracts to a remote testnet (e.g. Optimism Sepolia), follow the steps below:
-
Get Superchain Sepolia ETH from the Superchain Faucet
-
Inside the
packages/hardhat
directory, copy.env.example
to.env
.cd packages/hardhat && cp .env.example .env
-
Edit your
.env
to specify the environment variables. Only specifying theDEPLOYER_PRIVATE_KEY
is necessary here. The contracr will be deployed from the address associated with this private key, so make sure it has enough Sepolia ETH.DEPLOYER_PRIVATE_KEY = "your_private_key_with_sepolia_ETH";
-
Inside
scaffold-op
, runyarn deploy --network-options
Use spacebar to make your selection(s). This command deploys all smart contracts in
packages/hardhat/contracts
to the selected network(s). Alternatively, you can tryyarn deploy --network networkName
Network names are found in
hardhat.config.js
. Please ensure you have enough Sepolia ETH on all these Superchains. If the deployments are successful, you will see the deployment tx hash on the terminal.
Hardhat's NodeJS stack and cleaner deployment management makes it a better default for Scaffold-OP.
To add Foundry to Scaffold-OP, follow this simple tutorial by Hardhat. We recommend users who want more robust and faster testing to add Foundry.
We highly recommend visiting the original docs to learn how to start building with Scaffold-ETH 2.
