+ What you can build +

+ + + +

+ Next steps +

+ +
+ +
Connect MetaMask
+
Wire MetaMask to Hedera testnet so the Contract Builder can deploy from your wallet.
+ + +
Move to Hardhat
+
When you're ready for tests, CI, and a real codebase — port your contract into a Hardhat project.
+ + +
Or try Foundry
+
Prefer a Solidity-native, fast test runner? Use Foundry instead — HTS-aware forking included.
