Summary

DappTools is a minimalistic command line framework designed to simplify the process of creating, testing, and deploying smart contracts for developers familiar with languages such as Solidity, Vyper, or Rust. Originally written in Haskell and recently reimagined in Rust by the Paradigm team as Foundry, DappTools offers tools for managing compiled bytecode, tracking deployments, and facilitating redeployment, making it a popular choice for smart contract developers who prefer a Linux, bash shell, and command line-centric environment. This tutorial guides users through installing DappTools, deploying Chainlink-powered hybrid smart contracts using the dapptools-starter-kit, and handling external dependencies like OpenZeppelin contracts. It also covers deployment processes on testnets or mainnets, verifying contracts on Etherscan, and interacting with deployed contracts using commands like 'seth call' and 'seth send'. By leveraging Chainlink decentralized services, developers can enhance their dApps, and the tutorial encourages exploration and contribution to the project's development.
