Whenever a new technology comes along, there's often a lag between the emergence of that fancy piece of tech, and a community of builders that know how to build with it. Blockchain is no exception. But there is a company in this space helping developers pick up the tools of the trade. It's called Truffle.
Can it help lower the barrier to entry for crypto-curious developers? We'll find out.
Truffle is a tool that makes it easier for developers to build blockchain-based Dapps on Ethereum.
Smart contracts vary - and the type of code required - from network to network. Ethereum, for example, uses its own programming language, called Solidity, so developers have to learn a new language to code on it. Other networks have their own versions. Truffle helps deal with these problems by allowing developers to code in languages they already understand: languages like JavaScript and JSX.
Truffle has several key features:
Truffle comes alongside:
Ganache - A personal blockchain for Ethereum developers used to build and test smart contracts.
Drizzle - A series of datasets used to make writing Dapp front-ends easier.
Aragon - A Dapp to create and manage decentralized organizations.
BitGo - Creating blockchain solutions such as its multisig wallet.
MelonPort - A new way to manage Ethereum tokens.
Digix - A gold-backed stable token
ShapeShift - An exchange for digital assets, including ERC-20 tokens.
As more and more developers download Truffle and the number of companies using it goes up, it will become a mainstay in the Ethereum coding toolkit. This will lead to better Dapps on the network and hopefully, more users. Bring on the next CryptoKitties!
