Ape Framework

Ape Framework is an easy-to-use Web3 development tool. Users can compile, test, and interact with smart contracts all in one command line session.

Features

The most powerful tools for on-chain development and data science.

Build, test, and deploy across local forks, testnets, and live networks — simultaneously.

Extend Ape into the exact toolkit your project needs with first-party and community plugins.

Compile, test, deploy, analyze, and verify your smart contracts with a single framework.

See exactly what your contracts are doing with transaction tracing and gas profiling.

Protect your on-chain operations with encrypted keyfiles and hardware-wallet support.

Ape integrates directly with Jupyter Notebooks, Pandas, NumPy, and the entire Python data science stack.
