**Foundry is a blazing fast, portable and modular toolkit for Ethereum application development written in Rust.**
Foundry consists of:
- [**Forge**](./crates/forge): Ethereum testing framework (like Truffle, Hardhat and DappTools).
- [**Cast**](./crates/cast): Swiss army knife for interacting with EVM smart contracts, sending transactions and getting chain data.
- [**Anvil**](./crates/anvil): Local Ethereum node, akin to Ganache, Hardhat Network.
- [**Chisel**](./crates/chisel): Fast, utilitarian, and verbose solidity REPL.

## Installation
See the [installation guide](https://book.getfoundry.sh/getting-started/installation) in the book.
If you're experiencing any issues while installing, check out [Getting Help](#getting-help) and the [FAQ](https://book.getfoundry.sh/faq).
## Forge
### Features
- **Fast & flexible compilation pipeline**
- Automatic Solidity compiler version detection & installation (under `~/.svm`)
- **Incremental compilation & caching**: Only changed files are re-compiled
- Parallel compilation
- Non-standard directory structures support (e.g. [Hardhat repos](https://twitter.com/gakonst/status/1461289225337421829))
- **Tests are written in Solidity** (like in DappTools)
- **Fast fuzz testing** with shrinking of inputs & printing of counter-examples
- **Fast remote RPC forking mode**, leveraging Rust's async infrastructure like tokio
- **Flexible debug logging**
- DappTools-style, using `DsTest`'s emitted logs
- Hardhat-style, using the popular `console.sol` contract
- **Portable (5-10MB) & easy to install** without requiring Nix or any other package manager
- **Fast CI** with the [Foundry GitHub action][foundry-gha].
### How Fast?
Forge is quite fast at both compiling (leveraging [ethers-solc][ethers-solc]) and testing.
See the benchmarks below. More benchmarks can be found in the [v0.2.0 announcement post][benchmark-post] and in the [Convex Shutdown Simulation][convex] repository.
**Testing Benchmarks**
| Project | Forge | DappTools | Speedup |
| ---------------------------------- | ----- | --------- | ------- |
| [transmissions11/solmate][solmate] | 2.8s | 6m34s | 140x |
| [reflexer-labs/geb][geb] | 0.4s | 23s | 57.5x |
| [Rari-Capital/vaults][vaults] | 0.28s | 6.5s | 23x |
_Note: In the above benchmarks, compilation was always skipped_
**Compilation Benchmarks**
**Takeaway: Forge compilation is consistently faster by a factor of 1.7-11.3x, depending on the amount of caching involved.**
## Cast
Cast is a swiss army knife for interacting with Ethereum applications from the command line.
More documentation can be found in the [cast package](./crates/cast).
## Configuration
### Using `foundry.toml`
Foundry is designed to be very configurable. You can configure Foundry using a file called [`foundry.toml`](./crates/config) in the root of your project, or any other parent directory. See [config package](./crates/config/README.md#all-options) for all available options.
Configuration can be arbitrarily namespaced by profiles. The default profile is named `default` (see ["Default Profile"](./crates/config/README.md#default-profile)).
You can select another profile using the `FOUNDRY_PROFILE` environment variable. You can also override parts of your configuration using `FOUNDRY_` or `DAPP_` prefixed environment variables, like `FOUNDRY_SRC`.
`forge init` creates a basic, extendable `foundry.toml` file.
To see your current configuration, run `forge config`. To see only basic options (as set with `forge init`), run `forge config --basic`. This can be used to create a new `foundry.toml` file with `forge config --basic > foundry.toml`.
By default `forge config` shows the currently selected foundry profile and its values. It also accepts the same arguments as `forge build`.
### DappTools Compatibility
You can re-use your `.dapprc` environment variables by running `source .dapprc` before using a Foundry tool.
### Additional Configuration
You can find additional setup and configurations guides in the [Foundry Book][foundry-book]:
- [Setting up VSCode][vscode-setup]
- [Shell autocompletions][shell-setup]

## Acknowledgements
- Foundry is a clean-room rewrite of the testing framework [DappTools](https://github.com/dapphub/dapptools). None of this would have been possible without the DappHub team's work over the years.
- [Matthias Seitz](https://twitter.com/mattsse_): Created [ethers-solc](https://github.com/gakonst/ethers-rs/tree/master/ethers-solc/) which is the backbone of our compilation pipeline, as well as countless contributions to ethers, in particular the `abigen` macros.
- [Rohit Narurkar](https://twitter.com/rohitnarurkar): Created the Rust Solidity version manager [svm-rs](https://github.com/roynalnaruto/svm-rs) which we use to auto-detect and manage multiple Solidity versions.
- [Brock Elmore](https://twitter.com/brockjelmore): For extending the VM's cheatcodes and implementing [structured call tracing](https://github.com/foundry-rs/foundry/pull/192), a critical feature for debugging smart contract calls.
