Welcome to Scaffold-eth

About Scaffold-eth
Scaffold-eth provides an off-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. 
🤿 Scaffold-eth quick intro
​
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:
Solidity for writing smart contracts.
Hardhat for running local networks, deploying and testing smart contracts.
React for building a frontend, using many useful pre-made components and hooks.
Ethers.js for interacting with deployed smart contracts and the frontend
Ant for your UI. But can be easily changed to Bootstrap or some other library you prefer.
About this Guide
The Scaffold-eth documentation is broken up into three main sections. 

1. Getting Started - In the Getting Started section we start by going over how to install and run the sample project included with Scaffold-eth, as well as key pieces you can tweak to start learning how it works and how it interacts with Hardhat and React. The goal here is to get new developers up and running on Scaffoled-eth lightning fast. ⚡️
As you edit your smart contract the frontend auto adapts
2. Toolkit - In the Toolkit section we cover a brief overview of the tools the Scaffold-eth wraps and utilizes, we look at some of the unique frontend resources that Scaffold-eth provides out of the box, and we look at some of the extra infrastructure features that can be helpful as developers begin to create more sophisticated projects.
3. Challenge Course and Tutorials - In the Challenge Course and Tutorials sections we provide a challenge course of tasks that you can take on to level-up your Scaffold-eth and web3 skills, as well as a catalog of recipes for some of the unique value props that web3 and the Ethereum ecosystem provides. Looking for some inspiration? Check out the cookbook and start mixing and mashing. 
Check the Built with Scaffold-eth section to see some production-grade projects built with Scaffold-eth.
BuidlGuidl.com is a community that builds solutions based on Scaffold-eth. Learn more about it on the BuidlGuidl.com section.
Finally, if you are running into some issue, check the Support section to find out how to get some help or troubleshoot some common problems people usually run into.
