- Hedera has released scaffold-hbar, a command-line tool that allows you to deploy multi-chain dapps in seconds with a single command.
- The tool includes eight testnet-ready templates, Hardhat or Foundry support, and integrated AI context via the Hedera Skills package.
- Applications will open in August 2026 for $5,000 $HBAR Prizes will be awarded to the top 5 community templates.
ivy Launch of scaffold-hbar, command line tools developed in parallel bildler institute This allows developers to: Launch functional decentralized applications in seconds.
One command to build on Hedera
When you run `npm create scaffold-hbar@latest`, developer Get the complete project It features a Next.js frontend, RainbowKit and wagmi integration, and a choice of Hardhat or Foundry for contract management. The goal is to eliminate the friction that often occurs when getting started. They search for scattered samples, manually assemble configurations, and wait days for the first transaction to hit the testnet.
This proposal is built on three principles. The first one is Multi-chain directional From the beginning, without treating your network as an isolated environment. The second is Native integration of artificial intelligence As a first-class user of the workflow. The third one is Freedom for each developer to choose their own tools without forced migration.
Flagship template: Multi-chain index behavior
The most ambitious template in this release is Cross-chain index strategy. User deposits ETH base network, layer zero convey the message to ivy and smart contract upon arrival divide the funds equally Between two positions: native $HBAR and hustler, HTS token Created within the template itself. This same template is A practical guide to creating HTS tokensintegration with saucer swapand layer zero Configuration within a single project.
The launch includes: 8 templates cover everything from multi chain bridge Using LayerZero, Chainlink CCIP, Axelar, On-chain recurring payments Via HIP-1215 and Tokenized Subscription Marketplace. Everything arrives testnet-ready with deployment scripts and direct validation in HashScan.
of artificial intelligence Modules are also important. Hedera’s skillspackages installed by default during scaffolding, Loads network-specific context Integrates into tools such as Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex. As a result, the agent generates code tailored to system contracts and Hedera’s native services. from the first promptIf your project requires HTS tokens, you don’t need to use ERC-20 logic by default.
Community suggestions
A community call will begin in August. $5,000 $HBAR will be Distributed among the 5 best templates submitteddirectly incorporated into the official CLI listing.
