# Foundry

## Foundry

Foundry is a smart contract development toolchain.

With Foundry you can manage your dependencies, compile your project, run tests, deploy smart contracts, and interact with the chain from the command-line and via Solidity scripts.

Check out the [Foundry Book](https://book.getfoundry.sh/) to get started with using Foundry with Pivotal.

## Using Foundry with Pivotal

Foundry supports Pivotal out-of-the-box.

Just provide the Pivotal RPC URL and Chain ID when deploying and verifying your contracts.
