Get Started in Minutes

Deploy your first smart contract on Chainweb EVM with these simple steps.

Deploy with Hardhat using Scaffold Kadena

Use Scaffold Kadena with hardhat to quickly deploy your first contract in minutes.

# Clone the Scaffold repository and move to the scaffold-kadena directory
git clone https://github.com/0xTrip/scaffold-kadena.git
cd scaffold-kadena

# Install dependencies
yarn install

# Run two local Hardhat chains in the FIRST terminal:
yarn chain

# In a SECOND terminal, deploy the contract to localhost:
cd scaffold-kadena
yarn deploy:localhost

# In a THIRD terminal, first setup the nextjs env file:
cd scaffold-kadena/packages/nextjs
cp .env.example .env

#Then start your NextJS app from that directory or the top level directory
yarn start

Your application will be available at: http://localhost:3000
