New solidity linting tool and foundry template from @msolomon 

https://www.scopelift.co/blog/introducing-scopelint

Thanks for the resounding “Foundry”.

Deployed my first set of smart contracts to Base testnet this week, foundry has been super easy to work with.

https://warpcast.com/pfista/0x376509

Foundry requires a git submodule, a .toml config and two sets of binaries in Path. Fortunately there's a nix overlay. Hope the tests are worth it.

This epic thread by @pfista where everyone says "foundry" like it's the new "yup" inspired me to make something: 

🪄 COVE: 
Guessing who may be a solidity dev or expert.

🐇 USE IF: 
You are building or hiring onchain.

Every so often an outlandishly good toolchain pops up to take over a domain. Rails for backend circa '09, React for frontend in '20 and Foundry for smart contracts in '23. 

For a while, the only good answer to not using them becomes "I have a legacy codebase" or "I made a mistake"

Found this book pretty insightful for VC and startup deals, from the foundry group and techstars founder https://i.imgur.com/rpPZyK4.jpg https://i.imgur.com/yJABUyp.jpg

dipping my toes into solidity development

Is truffle/ganache the go to for local development and testing?

not anymore. they are good tools but foundry or hardhat are the go to.
big foundry maxi myself but would suggest you to explore both. the biggest difference is, hardhat would need to write tests, scripts in js while foundry allows you to do everything in solidity itself
ganache might be good for starting out though

Yup. Few things...

Right now we have our gas cost dialed in to be about the same as Uniswap.

Being on mainnet we have access to DeFi boosts to gain yield on liquidity. We believe yield will make up for gas. But we could also add meta-txs to swaps, funded by yield (altho ~risky).

Potentially, might deploy to Optimism

Don’t think you need to even build this yourself but omni-chain is the way to go. Gets a bit more complicated but you could use a cross chain protocol like Axelar to handle bridging to L2s for lower cost transfers and if there’s really a protocol on L1 that a person wants to use then they can still bridge back.

Ultimately the meToken factory (creates new meTokens) and foundry (ADMM interface to mint & burn) contracts need to reside somewhere. Right now those are secured on Ethereum.

Token transfers, staking, and other application txs can take place anywhere else. And L2s are totally fair game for that.

Random Foundry tip.

Always use relative paths in files meant to be imported by external projects.

Absolute paths will break your users' remappings. https://i.imgur.com/e1Q2w8Y.jpg

Outside of Warpcast, what crypto/onchain products do you use daily?

Gnosis Safe, coingecko, etherscan, metamask, foundry

Anyone know, when using Foundry scripts, is it possible to get references to the most recently deployed contracts w/o manually entering the address?

Random Foundry trivia.

`vm.expectRevert` doesn't work with low-level calls.

If you need to test this behavior, you'll have to manually verify the return status, as shown below: https://i.imgur.com/dlEYUBu.jpg

Just in case you didn't get enough responses that say "foundry" here's one more 😂

I’ve been happy with hardhat/ganache but if you’re starting from scratch I’ve heard great things of foundry.

Foundry is the way... learning a completely different API in a completely different language that goes out of its way to be magical and hide important details is a recipe for confusion. Also Hardhat tests are hella slow.

We're announcing two tools today: scopelint, and our Foundry template. You can read more about them here: https://www.scopelift.co/blog/introducing-scopelint

As different interest-based communities emerge on Farcaster, the community should adopt the meme of combining a specific interest or topic “X" with the term "caster." 

For instance, rather than “Crypto Twitter” you have “CryptoCaster.” If you are a meme connoisseur, you would be on “MemeCaster.”

@dwr ?

CastCaster. The amorphous mold for meme-casting, maintained by the impossible-to-put-your finger on yet ever-present core of the Farcaster Foundry for Meme-ificiation

Curious to know what’s the most appreciated form of art among the audience here.

Music/painting/digital/ballet…can be whatever

If I had to choose… Probably ceramics and metalwork?

I base this entirely around my life dream of one day having a home ceramics studio/small-scale metal foundry.

Just sent in my OP Retro PGF votes!

Criteria was: 

- Select projects that I, or someone I trust, have benefitted from
- Select amounts based on impact (my judgement, likely imperfect) 
-  Adjust with "means testing" to bump underfunded projects

thanks @jessepollak for inviting me! https://i.imgur.com/3r3rxqa.png

A few projects started by Farcasters here too!  

- Ethers @ricmoo 
- Foundry @brock @gakonst 
- EthGlobal @kartik 
- 0xPARC @gubsheep @lakshman 

Am I missing any others?

What environment are you using 

For contracts, nothing beats Foundry 

And rainbow's next js starter is pretty good

I’ve only used Remix for writing and deploying contracts yet have never tried anything else.

Am I completely off here?

What is great about Foundry vs Remix?

Is Hardhat > Truffle, if I had to pick one of those? 

I do want to write my tests in Typescript and it seems like Foundry could be a steeper learning curve for testing and deployment.

The foundry learning curve isn’t too bad, and you’ll learn solidity much faster by writing tests in it

Truffle isn’t widely used anymore, so def hardhat > truffle

There’s also Ape if you’re into writing tests in python. (Heard good thing, never used it though)

gm! I'm excited to share an Alpha preview of Hybrid with the Farcaster community.

https://hybrid.dev

Hybrid is a React-first, Web3 Framework for Building EVM Applications. Think of it as one layer above Wagmi/Foundry but with tons of DX bells-and-whistles.

Framework features:

- Works with any React-based framework (Next.js, CRA, etc)
- Highly-opinionated on tooling: Foundry + Wagmi + Ethers (Viem soon)
- Dev Environment with Hot Contract Reloading
- Zero config deployments

... and lots more on the roadmap

Solidity devs using Foundry:

Do you know how to get an extended public key from a local Anvil wallet? 

Do I need to generate it using the Mnemonic and derivation path?

Remix is great.

But Foundry make testing way simpler

And also solidity scripting

I met someone at the farcaster meetup who offered to coach me thru building an NFT concept I’ve been dreaming about.  Said it shouldn’t take longer than a weekend (for someone already familiar with all the tools). I’ve spent longer than that just trying to get my environment set up 😣Some things never change!
