  • General

Here I am going to list all the developer tools and framework which are going to used for ethereum development.

List of Developer Tools are as follows:-

Developing Smart Contracts

Smart Contract Languages

  • Solidity — Ethereum smart contracting language
  • Bamboo — A morphing smart contract language
  • Vyper — New experimental pythonic programming language
  • LLL — Low-level Lisp-like Language
  • Flint — New language under development with security features including asset types, state transition, and safe integers

Frameworks

  • Truffle — Most popular smart contract development, testing, and deployment framework. The Truffle suite includes Truffle, Ganache, and Drizzle.
  • Embark — Framework for DApp development
  • Waffle — Framework for advanced smart contract development and testing, small, flexible, fast (based on ethers.js)
  • Dapp — Framework for DApp development, successor to DApple
  • Populus — The Ethereum development framework with the most cute animal pictures
  • Etherlime — ethers.js based framework for Dapp deployment
  • Parasol — Agile smart contract development environment with testing, INFURA deployment, automatic contract documentation and more. It features a a flexible and unopinionated design with unlimited customizability
  • 0xcert — JavaScript framework for building decentralized applications

Integrated Developer Environments

Test blockchain networks

  • Ganache — App for test Ethereum blockchain with visual UI and logs
  • Kaleido — Use Kaleido for spinning up a consortium blockchain network. Great for PoCs and testing
  • Pantheon Private Network — Run a private network of Pantheon nodes in a Docker container ** Orion — Component for performing private transactions by PegaSys ** Artemis — Java implementation of the Ethereum 2.0 Beacon Chain by PegaSys
  • Cliquebait — Simplifies integration and accepting testing of smart contract applications with docker instances that closely resembles a real blockchain network
  • Local Raiden — Run a local Raiden network in docker containers for demo and testing purposes
  • Private networks deployment scripts — Out-of-the-box deployment scripts for private PoA networks
  • Local Ethereum Network — Out-of-the-box deployment scripts for private PoW networks
  • Ethereum on Azure — Deployment and governance of consortium Ethereum PoA networks
  • getho — DApp development platform including PoA private blockchain and Smart Contract testing tool.
  • Ethereum on Google Cloud — Build Ethereum network based on Proof of Work

Test Ether faucets

  • Georli Faucet
  • Sepolia

Communicating with Ethereum.

Frontend Ethereum APIs

  • Web3.js — Javascript Web3
  • Eth.js — Javascript Web3 alternative
  • Ethers.js — Javascript Web3 alternative, useful utilities and wallet features
  • Web3Wrapper — Typescript Web3 alternative
  • Ethereumjs — A collection of utility functions for Ethereum like ethereumjs-util and ethereumjs-tx
  • flex-contract and flex-ether Modern, zero-configuration, high-level libraries for interacting with smart contracts and making transactions.
  • ez-ens Simple, zero-configuration Ethereum Name Service address resolver.
  • web3x — A TypeScript port of web3.js. Benefits includes tiny builds and full type safety, including when interacting with contracts.
  • Drizzle — Redux library to connect a frontend to a blockchain
  • Tasit SDK — A JavaScript SDK for making native mobile Ethereum dapps using React Native
  • Subproviders — Several useful subproviders to use in conjunction with Web3-provider-engine (including a LedgerSubprovider for adding Ledger hardware wallet support to your dApp)
  • web3-react — React framework for building single-page Ethereum dApps
  • Vortex — A Dapp-ready Redux Store. Smart and Dynamic background data refresh thanks to WebSockets. Works with Truffle and Embark.
  • Strictly Typed — Javascript alternatives
  • elm-ethereum
  • purescript-web3
