## What it is
Scaffold-ETH is an open-source, forkable Ethereum development stack for rapidly building and iterating on decentralized applications (dApps). Scaffold-ETH 2 combines NextJS, RainbowKit, Wagmi, TypeScript, and Hardhat or Foundry into a starter kit with pre-built web3 components, contract hot reload, burner wallets, and modular extensions.

## Use cases
- bootstrap an ethereum dapp with frontend and smart contracts
- rapidly prototype solidity smart contracts with a live-updating frontend
- scaffold a web3 project with wallet connection and tailwind components
- set up a local ethereum dev chain with faucet and burner wallet for testing
- create an erc-20 token starter project
- learn ethereum development through tutorials and challenges

## When to choose
- starting a new ethereum dapp from scratch and wanting a full-stack starter
- iterating quickly on smart contracts with instant frontend feedback
- wanting pre-built web3 UI components and wallet integration out of the box
- building with a modern stack (NextJS, Wagmi, TypeScript, Hardhat/Foundry)

## When to avoid
- you need a production backend unrelated to ethereum smart contracts
- you want a finished product rather than a starting-point scaffold
- your project targets non-EVM blockchains without Ethereum tooling
- you prefer a minimal setup without an opinionated stack
