Developers Overview
This section supports developers getting started with the Casper blockchain by writing dApps or smart contracts in Rust. Developers can install a local development environment with a runtime and a test framework. They can also create and test contracts with the libraries provided or use these libraries to build decentralized applications. Prior knowledge of Unix-based operating systems, like GNU/Linux, and programming knowledge with Rust, AssemblyScript, JavaScript, or Python are highly recommended.
| Topic | Description |
|---|---|
| Development Prerequisites | Setup needed for various workflows |
| Essential Casper Crates | Available Casper crates and the corresponding documentation |
| Writing On-Chain Code | Writing contracts in Rust and Wasm for a Casper network |
| Casper JSON-RPC API | Endpoints for developers wishing to interact directly with a Casper node's JSON-RPC API |
| Building dApps | Useful information for dApp developers |
| Interacting with the Blockchain Using CLI | Using a Rust command-line client to install and call contracts; transfer, delegate, and undelegate tokens. |
The Ecosystem Open-Source Software may provide other helpful examples.
The motivation for the Casper Network roadmap is inspired by community feedback and recommendations. We look forward to building a decentralized future together.
