Developer Tools

Essential tools for building on Ethereum Classic. Frameworks, libraries, IDEs, and security tools to accelerate your development workflow.

Quick Start Recommendation

New to Solidity? Start with Remix IDE for browser-based development. Production projects: Use Hardhat or Foundry for full development workflow. Frontend apps: Viem and ethers.js are the recommended libraries.

ETC Compatibility

Full EVM Compatibility

Ethereum Classic is fully EVM-compatible. Any Ethereum development tool, library, or framework works on ETC. Just configure the correct RPC endpoint and chain ID.

Network Configuration

Mainnet Chain ID: 61
Mordor Testnet ID: 63
RPC: https://etc.rivet.link
Testnet RPC: https://rpc.mordor.etccooperative.org

Configuration Examples

Hardhat Configuration

// hardhat.config.js
module.exports = {
  networks: {
    etc: {
      url: "https://etc.rivet.link",
      chainId: 61,
      accounts: [PRIVATE_KEY]
    },
    mordor: {
      url: "https://rpc.mordor.etccooperative.org",
      chainId: 63,
      accounts: [PRIVATE_KEY]
    }
  }
}

Foundry Configuration

# foundry.toml
[profile.default]
src = "src"
out = "out"
libs = ["lib"]

[rpc_endpoints]
etc = "https://etc.rivet.link"
mordor = "https://rpc.mordor.etccooperative.org"

# Deploy: forge script Deploy --rpc-url etc
