Blockchain Toolkit

A Visual Studio Code extension that provides developers with a set of tools, snippets, and utilities to streamline blockchain and smart contract development.

Features

• Smart Contract Snippets – Quickly scaffold Solidity, Rust, or other blockchain smart contracts.
• Blockchain Network Integration – Connect and interact with local or test networks directly from VS Code.
• Transaction and Wallet Management – Generate wallets, sign transactions, and track balances.
• Deployment Automation – Deploy contracts with pre-configured scripts for popular blockchains.
• Code Validation & Linting – Built-in checks for Solidity/Rust smart contract best practices.

Requirements

• Node.js >= 18
• VS Code >= 1.80
• Blockchain node or testnet access (e.g., Ganache, Hardhat, or Ethereum testnet)

Extension Settings

This extension exposes the following configuration options in VS Code:

• blockchainToolkit.defaultNetwork: Default blockchain network to interact with (e.g., Ethereum, Polygon).
• blockchainToolkit.walletPath: Path to your local wallet file.
• blockchainToolkit.enableAutoLint: Automatically run linting on contract save.

Known Issues

• Some networks may require additional RPC configuration.
• Deployment to mainnet is experimental; test thoroughly before using in production.
