> Blazing fast smart contract development toolkit

Foundry provides fast, modular toolkits for blockchain development, supporting both Ethereum and Starknet smart contract ecosystems.

Foundry helps Ethereum developers build smart contracts efficiently by providing a blazing-fast toolkit written in Rust. Users can compile contracts quickly, write tests in Solidity directly, deploy to networks, and interact with chains from the command line. Foundry eliminates context switching and dramatically improves development speed compared to traditional JavaScript frameworks.

## Products

- [Foundry](https://thegrid.id/profiles/foundry): Foundry is a toolkit for Ethereum blockchain development written in Rust. It features four main components: Forge for testing and deploying smart contracts, Cast for interacting with blockchain networks, Anvil for running a local Ethereum node, and Chisel for Solidity REPL. Designed for performance and efficiency, Foundry supports both Solidity and Vyper languages with capabilities including fuzz testing, debugging, and RPC forking, all in a unified developer experience. (Developer Tooling, Live, Main Product)
- [Starknet Foundry](https://thegrid.id/profiles/foundry): Starknet Foundry provides a development environment for building applications on Starknet. It includes specialized tools for compiling, testing, and deploying Cairo contracts in a Starknet environment. The toolkit facilitates efficient development workflows with features like test automation, debugging capabilities, and network interaction tools. Built with the same focus on speed and developer experience as the original Foundry, Starknet Foundry enables developers to create reliable and secure applications for the Starknet ecosystem. (Developer Tooling, Live)
- [Cast](https://thegrid.id/profiles/foundry): Cast is a command-line interaction capabilities for EVM smart contracts, enabling transaction execution and chain data retrieval. The system provides Swiss Army knife functionality for blockchain interactions through standardized RPC interfaces. (Developer Tooling, Live)
- [Chisel](https://thegrid.id/profiles/foundry): Chisel is an interactive Solidity REPL environment through real-time code evaluation, enabling rapid prototyping and debugging. The system provides verbose feedback and immediate execution for Solidity development workflows. (Developer Tooling, Live)
- [Anvil](https://thegrid.id/profiles/foundry): Anvil is a fast local Ethereum development node through JSON-RPC compliance, enabling rapid testing and development workflows. The system provides local blockchain simulation with forking capabilities and pre-funded development accounts. (Developer Tooling, Live)
