Scaffold Stacks is the official stacksdapp CLI and Next.js template for building full-stack Stacks (Bitcoin L2) dApps. Write Clarity smart contracts, get auto-generated TypeScript bindings, ship a live debug UI, and deploy to Stacks testnet, mainnet, or local devnet with one command. Install with cargo install stacksdapp, scaffold with stacksdapp new my-app, and follow the quickstart. Already on Clarinet? Use adopt an existing project. For every command and flag, see the stacksdapp CLI reference.
