homescreen VS truffle

I am not sure if you are aware, but in case you or anyone reading aren't, Skynet and Handshake have been partners for over a year and has full compatibility not only as a decentralized domain service for Skynet sites and apps, but it also works with Homescreen. Give it ago by typing sky-os.hns or riftapp.hns in the Homescreen search bar to install the app. Ethereum Name Service (ENS) and IPFS domains are also compatible with homescreen for those developers that prefer to use those.

There are storage services like Skynet or Filebase that operate on the sia decentralized network that can offer blob/bucket and host applications for a full cdn, but the real innovation is decentralized front ends. Checkout https://homescreen.hns.siasky.net/ its near trivial for developers to copy existing apps to add additional redundancy for circumstances like this.

To begin actually using Skynet as a user however, Homescreen is where you want to start. To begin click the "Authenticate with MySky" button in the top right. A popup window will appear with the option to "Sign Up" at the bottom. Once you have clicked "Sign Up" a MySky account will be created for you, and you will be given a 15 word seed phrase. This seed phrase is now your password to **everything** you accesses on Skynet. So make sure to write down you seed phrase and store it in a safe location. It would also be helpful to sign up for a password manager like Bitwarden so you can securely access your MySky seed from any device. Once you have stored your seed in a safe place, you can click "Sign Up" to complete your account creation. Once completed you will then see your Homescreen with a couple apps preinstalled for you and you can begin using Skynet as it was intended to be.

> I want Web 3.0 to get interoperability back. We badly need commonly accepted standards and decentralized protocols

Check out Homescreen: https://homescreen.hns.siasky.net/

It's a decentralized front-end in a decentralized cloud for Web3.0 apps.

You can already do this on https://homescreen.hns.siasky.net

If you want to see just why I mean by works, go set yourself up a Homescreen account and give it a try. Once you have one set try installing some apps. Also make sure to try out SkyOS

Truffle (13700 GitHub Stars) https://github.com/trufflesuite/truffle

Truffle

You’ve probably heard that Generative AI has demonstrated the potential to disrupt a huge number of industries and jobs — and web3 is no exception. But how well can ChatGPT create smart contracts? Can using ChatGPT to code smart contracts make you a 10x developer? In this article, we’ll try it out and see. We’ll walk through writing and deploying an Ethereum smart contract using MetaMask, Infura, and Truffle … and we will ask ChatGPT for instructions on how to do everything from the code to the deployment.

truffle v5.8.3 and v5.8.4 — update Ganache to the most recent version which supports Shanghai and small fixes

For example, I used the Truffle Suite to write, compile, and deploy my first smart contracts, which includes Ganache to create a local blockchain and Drizzle to create a front-end dapp interface.

truffle v5.8.0 - Truffle introduces the Truffle Dashboard Hardhat plugin, which allows developers to see decoded transaction information when using Truffle Dashboard with their Hardhat projects.

In this article, we’ll explore what makes Linea so exciting. Then, we’ll walk through a tutorial on how to build a dapp on the Linea testnet. Finally, we’ll create our own cryptocurrency on Linea using Solidity, MetaMask, and Truffle: all mature ecosystem tools that are used by blockchain developers to build dapps.

Truffle is a popular development and testing framework for dApps, both for first time and experienced Ethereum developers. As well as containing a web3.js library, Truffle is simple, user friendly and, with over 56K GitHub users, trusted. To install Truffle you need to have Node, NPM and Python. You can install Truffle via NPM with the command ‘npm install -g truffle.’

The inspiration for the article came from a project I had built a little over a month earlier, for which I wrote a different article. In this initial project, I was actually using a Hardhat local node for my smart contract development. I decided to switch to Truffle for the final article, because it had a more intuitive demo contract, and because the command line tool made it easier to create manual transactions.

Easy for devs — The zkEVM supports most popular tools out of the box. You can build, test, debug, and deploy your smart contracts with Hardhat, Infura, Truffle, etc. All the tools you use now, you can keep using. And there is already a bridge to move tokens onto and off the network.
