what's Scaffold-ETH 2?
Scaffold-ETH 2 is an open-source, forkable development stack designed to accelerate the building of decentralized applications (dApps) on Ethereum and compatible chains. It provides a complete toolkit including Hardhat for smart contract development, Next.js for frontend, The Graph for subgraph indexing, and Tenderly for debugging, enabling rapid iteration from local testing to deployment. Key features include pre-built branches for common patterns like NFTs, token voting, DEX swapping, lending, and staking, allowing developers to fork and customize. It supports Ethereum mainnet, L2s, and testnets out-of-the-box, with tools for gas optimization, multisig wallets, and IPFS pinning, making it ideal for prototyping and shipping production dApps efficiently.
Scaffoldeth has 5,297 dapps built using its framework as of December 19, 2025.

The old ScaffoldETH RPC infrastructure will stop working soon, requiring all developers using old scaffold-eth to update their RPC configuration to avoid application downtime.
Introduces one-line command to run nodes that power dRPC infrastructure for applications, with ability to attribute node ownership.
Development toolkit now supports all EVM chains including Monad through config integration with hardhat/foundry.
