Scaffold Eth Examples

Scaffold Eth Examples is a public MIT-licensed repository of Ethereum dApp examples and a development scaffold for experimenting with Solidity contracts alongside a frontend that adapts to them. Its README documents a local workflow using Yarn and a Hardhat chain, with separate locations for contracts, frontend code, and deployment scripts.

Practical overview

When it fits

Use it when you want a hands-on Solidity learning setup or a starting point for an Ethereum dApp prototype, and can work with the documented Node, Yarn, and Git prerequisites.

Who it is for

  • Developers learning Solidity by editing and observing a contract-backed frontend.
  • Builders prototyping Ethereum dApps from example projects.

Documented uses

  • Start a local Hardhat chain and run a connected frontend.
  • Edit Solidity contracts, frontend code, and deployment scripts.
  • Study or adapt examples such as an NFT, staking contract, token vendor, marketplace, commit-reveal, and signature recovery.
Before you choose

Requirements & limits

The repository is public and identifies an MIT license.

  • The documented quick start uses Node, Yarn, Git, and three terminal windows.
  • Contract, frontend, and deployment-script editing locations are identified in the README.
  • The README directs learners to Solidity documentation and topic-by-topic exercises.

Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.

Source-based practical guide

Set up the local example app and deploy a contract

Follow the README workflow to start the Hardhat chain, run the frontend, and deploy a contract.

Before you start

  • Node
  • Yarn
  • Git
  • Three terminal windows

Steps

  1. Clone the repository with the command below and enter the project directory.

    Documented command
    git clone https://github.com/scaffold-eth/scaffold-eth-examples.git

  2. Run yarn install, then start the local chain with yarn chain.

  3. In a second terminal, enter the project directory and run yarn start.

  4. In a third terminal, enter the project directory and run yarn deploy.

  5. Open http://localhost:3000 to view the app.

Expected outcome

A local Hardhat chain and frontend are started, and the README workflow deploys the contract.

Guide limitations

  • The documented workflow requires separate terminals for the chain, frontend, and deployment.
  • The README does not specify a public-network deployment procedure.
