EVM Tools
The Ethereum ecosystem supports a wide variety of Ethereum-compatible tools and services, enabling developers to leverage familiar tools and technologies. This guide provides an overview of some of the most popular tools available for developers working with the Ethereum blockchain.
Development Frameworks
Truffle
Truffle is a development framework for Ethereum that provides a suite of tools for developing, testing, and deploying smart contracts. With Truffle, you can write smart contracts in Solidity, manage migrations, and interact with contracts.
Hardhat
Hardhat is a development environment for Ethereum that allows developers to compile, deploy, test, and debug their dApps. Hardhat's flexibility and plugin ecosystem make it a powerful tool for Ethereum development.
Testing Tools
Ganache
Ganache is a personal blockchain for Ethereum development that you can use to deploy contracts, develop applications, and run tests. It provides features like advanced mining controls and built-in block explorer.
Remix
Remix is a web-based IDE for Solidity development. It allows you to write, compile, and deploy smart contracts directly from the browser. Remix also includes debugging and testing tools to facilitate the development process.
Deployment Tools
Infura
Infura provides scalable and easy access to Ethereum and IPFS. By leveraging Infura, developers can connect to the Ethereum network without needing to run their own nodes.
Alchemy
Alchemy offers powerful infrastructure and developer tools for building on Ethereum. It provides enhanced APIs, monitoring, and debugging tools to streamline the development process.
Starton
Starton is a platform that simplifies the deployment and management of blockchain nodes and infrastructure. It offers automated deployment, monitoring, and scaling for Ethereum nodes, making it easier for developers to manage their blockchain infrastructure.
Node as a Service
Zeeve
Zeeve is a blockchain-as-a-service platform that provides managed blockchain infrastructure. With Zeeve, developers can deploy, manage, and monitor their blockchain nodes across multiple protocols, including Ethereum. Zeeve's platform ensures high availability, security, and performance for blockchain nodes.
Oracles
Chainlink
Chainlink is a decentralized oracle network that enables smart contracts to securely interact with external data sources, APIs, and payment systems. By using Chainlink, developers can build smart contracts that interact with real-world data.
Provable
Provable (formerly Oraclize) is a service that provides data to smart contracts via trusted third parties. It enables the use of off-chain data within smart contracts through a secure and reliable method.
