Foundry ZKsync Book 📖

First Steps with Foundry-ZKsync

This section introduces the forge command-line tool. We will walk through creating a new project, compiling it, and running tests.

To start a new project with Foundry-ZKsync, use the forge init command:

$ forge init hello_foundry

Now, let’s explore the structure that forge has generated for us:

$ cd hello_foundry
$ tree . -d -L 1
.
├── lib
├── script
├── src
└── test

4 directories

You can compile the project using forge build --zksync:

$ forge build --zksync

Compiling 27 files with zksolc and solc 0.8.26
zksolc and solc 0.8.26 finished in 2.85s
Compiler run successful!

To run the tests, use the forge test --zksync command:

$ forge test --zksync
Compiling 25 files with Solc 0.8.27
