# Introduction

> Build full-stack dApps on Stacks with auto-generated TypeScript bindings and one-command deployment

# 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

## Quick Start

Get started in 5 steps:

1. Install the CLI
2. Scaffold a new project
3. Deploy to testnet
4. Start the frontend
5. Connect your wallet
