SettleMint Launches New Developer Tools to Simplify Blockchain Development

SettleMint introduces Developer Tools, a new section that combines various decentralized application development services. This addition offers Code Studio and the SettleMint SDK as primary tools designed to help you build your decentralized application (dApp) faster, whether a smart contract, frontend or backend development.

As part of this update, the Smart Contract Sets service has moved into Dev Tools, maintaining all its existing features in a new, more organized environment.

Introducing Code Studio: A Powerful Development Environment

Code Studio, SettleMint's integrated development environment (IDE), builds on the foundation of Visual Studio Code. The first release introduces Smart Contract Sets with pre-built templates from the open-source library, making blockchain development more straightforward. Furthermore, with the built-in SettleMint SDK Command Line Interface (CLI), you can easily use platform services directly from within the Code Studio, making it easier to build your dApp.

What makes Code Studio particularly powerful is its support for both Hardhat and Foundry frameworks. This means developers aren't locked into a single approach - they can compile, test, and deploy using either framework or even combine them based on their project needs. The environment provides a complete toolkit for the entire development process, from writing code to deploying it on the blockchain.

Technical teams will find a familiar development environment with pre-built smart contract templates to speed up project initialization. The flexibility to choose between Hardhat and Foundry frameworks, combined with built-in compilation and testing tools, creates an efficient workspace for blockchain development.

For business teams, Code Studio addresses key challenges in blockchain development. The pre-built templates provide clear starting points for common use cases, while the tested templates create a more structured development process. This organized approach helps reduce the technical complexity typically associated with blockchain projects.

The SDK: Bridging Blockchain and Modern Applications

The SettleMint SDK is a powerful toolkit designed to integrate blockchain into modern applications. It offers:

A complete suite of tools for interacting with platform services (Smart Contracts, Smart Contract Portal Middleware, The Graph Middleware, IPFS, MinIO, Blockchain Explorer)
A modular architecture with specialized packages for different functionalities
Rich development tools, CLI capabilities, and extensive documentation
Production-grade components with support for Next.js, GraphQL, and other enterprise technologies
Full TypeScript support across all packages with strong typing and modern development patterns

The SettleMint SDK and CLI give developers the tools to build blockchain applications on the platform. These tools work across industries, letting development teams create solutions faster using familiar technologies. Whether building a verification system, tracking platform, or digital asset application, developers access the same set of development tools and platform services. This standardized approach means teams spend less time on blockchain complexity and more time solving business problems.

The SDK supports solutions across banking and financial services, supply chain, government and public sectors, energy, healthcare, manufacturing, and more. Teams in any industry can build applications that meet their specific needs while maintaining enterprise-grade standards.

Smart Contract Sets in Detail

Smart Contract Sets in SettleMint offer flexibility through both Hardhat and Foundry frameworks. This dual support allows developers to compile, test, and deploy using their preferred tools or combine them based on project requirements.

The development process follows three main steps. First, adding a Smart Contract Set begins with navigating to the dev tools page in your application, selecting Code Studio, and choosing a Smart Contract Set template that matches your needs.

Second, the compilation and configuration phase converts your smart contract code into a blockchain-executable format. SettleMint handles the configuration setup, ensuring your contract meets specific requirements for blockchain deployment.

Third, the deployment and interaction phase puts your smart contract on the blockchain network, making it ready for users to interact with through defined functions and transactions.

Both Hardhat and Foundry follow similar workflows within the SettleMint IDE. With Foundry, you'll set up your project folder, and create Solidity code with optional foundry.toml settings, and deploy to your chosen blockchain network. Similarly, Hardhat provides a development environment where you'll initialize your project, write your contract with hardhat.config.js configurations as needed, and deploy your compiled contract.

These tools support the core functions of smart contracts as self-executing programs. The process moves from converting code into blockchain-compatible format to making it accessible for user interaction, helping teams create and deploy smart contracts that can automate and secure blockchain business processes.

Meeting the Future of Enterprise Technology
