Scaffold Stacks

A Rust-powered CLI (stacksdapp) and Next.js template for building full-stack Stacks (Bitcoin L2) dApps — with auto-generated TypeScript contract bindings, a live debug UI, and one-command testnet deployment.

​
What is Scaffold Stacks?

Scaffold Stacks provides everything you need to build decentralized applications on the Stacks blockchain. It combines a powerful CLI tool with a modern Next.js frontend template, making it easy to create, test, and deploy smart contracts.

​
Key Features

  • Auto-generated TypeScript bindings: Automatically generate type-safe TypeScript code from your Clarity contracts
  • Live debug UI: Interactive interface to test contract functions during development
  • One-command deployment: Deploy to testnet or mainnet with a single command
  • Local development: Run a full Stacks devnet locally with Docker
  • Contract templates: Start with pre-built SIP-010 tokens or SIP-009 NFTs
