Flow EVM Development Tools

Professional decentralized finance (DeFi) contract development requires robust tooling to write, test, deploy, and manage Solidity contracts. This section covers the most popular and powerful development tools in the Ethereum ecosystem, adapted for Flow EVM development. From command-line frameworks to browser-based IDEs, these tools provide everything you need for comprehensive DeFi contract development workflows.

Each tool offers unique strengths: Foundry excels at testing and gas optimization, Hardhat provides extensive plugin ecosystems and TypeScript support, while Remix allows rapid prototyping without local setup. These tutorials demonstrate how to configure and use each tool effectively with Flow EVM, which allows you to choose the right development environment for your project needs.

Foundry​

Master Foundry's powerful suite of development tools for advanced Solidity contract development, testing, and deployment on Flow EVM. This comprehensive guide covers how to set up Foundry projects, write and test ERC-20 contracts with extensive test coverage, and deploy to Flow networks with proper configuration and verification. Learn to leverage Foundry's forge, cast, and anvil tools for complete development workflows, which include contract interaction and state management.

Hardhat​

Build and deploy Solidity DeFi contracts on Flow EVM with Hardhat's comprehensive development environment with TypeScript support and extensive plugins. This tutorial walks through complete project setup, network configuration for Flow testnet and mainnet, contract deployment with custom scripts, and contract verification on Flow's block explorer. You'll implement end-to-end workflows for HelloWorld contract development, testing, and deployment using Hardhat's powerful plugin ecosystem.

Remix​

Develop and deploy DeFi contracts directly in the browser with Remix IDE with Flow EVM integration for rapid prototyping and development. This guide demonstrates how to set up Remix for Flow development, deploying contracts through MetaMask integration, and how to interact with deployed contracts with Remix's built-in debugging and interaction tools. Learn to use Remix for quick contract development, testing, and deployment without local development environment setup requirements.

Conclusion​

These development tool guides provide comprehensive coverage of the most popular Solidity development environments, each optimized for Flow EVM development. Whether you prefer command-line tools like Foundry, comprehensive frameworks like Hardhat, or browser-based development with Remix, these tutorials offer practical workflows to build, test, and deploy professional DeFi contracts on Flow's high-performance EVM network.
