Introduction

contract.dev is a platform for smart contract experimentation. At its core is The Stagenet, a realistic private EVM testnet that replays mainnet blocks and is enhanced with a suite of built-in development tooling.

Stagenets have a Contract CI/CD system that connects to GitHub repositories and automatically imports their smart contracts, giving each one its own dedicated Contract Workspace. Inside each Workspace, you get analytics and tools tailored to that contract, along with its version history and deployment timeline.

The Stagenet also comes with Contract Analytics dashboards that provide insight into your contracts' operation. You get rich, ready-made views for instant visibility, as well as customizable dashboards you can shape to visualize your contracts' state and activity — think asset balances, USD TVL, function outputs, active wallets, and more.

Stagenets have a built-in explorer, an unlimited ETH and ERC-20 faucet, and a growing range of other development tools. All this, embedded within a true-to-life private blockchain, provides a powerful sandbox for testing your smart contracts.
