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 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.

Mainnet​

Deploying a smart contract​

forge create ... --rpc-url=https://mainnet.thepivotal.xyz/

Verifying a smart contract​

forge verify-contract ... --chain-id 

Testnet​

Deploying a smart contract​

forge create ... --rpc-url=https://sepolia.thepivotal.xyz/

Verifying a smart contract​

forge verify-contract ... --chain-id

thirdweb CLI

thirdweb provides an interactive command line interface, allowing you to create, build and deploy your smart contracts and apps.

You can use the thirdweb CLI to create and deploy smart contracts to the Pivotal network.

Visit the thirdweb documentation for more instructions on using the thirdweb CLI.

Creating a project​

Create a new project with thirdweb installed and configured:

npx thirdweb create

INFO

When you create a project for smart contracts or web3 apps there are various configurable options.

For contracts, some options are:

• Create a new contract project using Hardhat or Forge

• Add a new contract to an existing project

• Start from an audited contract base, and add optional extensions

For contracts, some options are:

• Front end applications using Next, CRA or Vite

• Backend applications using Node.js or Express.js

• Choice of TypeScript or JavaScript variants

Deploying a smart contract​

Deploy your smart contracts to the Pivotal network:

npx thirdweb deploy

Publishing a smart contract​

Publish and share a versioned release of your contract onto thirdweb’s registry:

npx thirdweb publish

Hardhat

Hardhat is an Ethereum development environment for flexible, extensible, and fast smart contract development.

You can use Hardhat to edit, compile, debug, and deploy your smart contracts to Pivotal.

Using Hardhat with Pivotal

To configure Hardhat to deploy smart contracts to Pivotal, update your project’s hardhat.config.ts file by adding Pivotal as a network:

networks: {
   // for mainnet
   "pivotal-mainnet": {
     url: 'https://mainnet.thepivotal.xyz',
     accounts: [process.env.PRIVATE_KEY as string],
     gasPrice: 1000000000,
   },
   // for Sepolia testnet
   "pivotal-sepolia": {
     url: "https://sepolia.thepivotal.xyz",
     accounts: [process.env.PRIVATE_KEY as string],
     gasPrice: 1000000000,
   },
   // for local dev environment
   "pivotal-local": {
     url: "http://localhost:8545",
     accounts: [process.env.PRIVATE_KEY as string],
     gasPrice: 1000000000,
   },
 },
 defaultNetwork: "pivotal-local",
