Scaffold Stellar is a new developer tool from Aha Labs that provides a ready-to-use web3 app template for building on Stellar. It includes contract examples, wallet integration, and local network setup to eliminate boilerplate and accelerate dApp development.
Scaffold Stellar, developed by Aha Labs in collaboration with Stellar, is a CLI-based scaffolding tool designed to streamline dApp development on Stellar. The tool installs as a plugin to the Stellar CLI and provides a pre-configured project with Vite and React, Stellar Wallet Kit integration, example contracts including an OpenZeppelin audited fungible token, and automated local network setup via Docker. Key features include watch mode that compiles contracts and generates TypeScript bindings, environment configuration for development/staging/production, hot reloading for both contracts and frontend, and pre-built UI components using the Stellar design system. The demo shows the complete workflow from installation through connecting a wallet and funding an account via FriendBot, demonstrating how the tool reduces setup friction for new Stellar developers.
