Foundry
Foundry is a comprehensive toolset for Ethereum development, written in Rust. It aids developers in managing dependencies, compiling projects, running tests, deploying contracts, and interacting with blockchains via a command-line interface. Foundry's robust capabilities streamline the development process, making it easier to work with Ethereum and other compatible networks.
Additionally, Foundry integrates seamlessly with Caldera's Ethereum API, enabling direct deployment of smart contracts onto the Caldera network.
Get Started with Foundry
Install Foundry
Linux or macOS
To install Foundry on Linux or macOS, use the following commands:
Windows
For Windows, first install Rust, then install Foundry:
Create a Project Initialize a new Foundry project with:
Navigate to the Source in the project and create your smart contrac
Add your smart contract code or use the sample contract below:
Install OpenZeppelin Contracts as a Dependency To add OpenZeppelin contracts as a dependency, run:
Compile Contract
Deploying Your Smart Contract
Deploying a contract with Forge is a simple process that can be done with a single command. However, it requires an RPC endpoint, a private key that has funds, and any arguments for the constructor of the contract.
For example, the MyToken.sol
contract requires an initial supply of tokens to be specified in its constructor, so the command to deploy it on a network will include the argument of 100
.
To deploy the MyToken.sol
contract, use the command that corresponds to the Caldera chain's RPC URL while running the forge create
command:
