A guide to available tools, components, and platforms for developing applications on BSC.
This list was forked from ConsenSys , and we verified most of the parts on BSC.
We hope both new and experienced blockchain developers can benefit from this list.
Contributions are welcome! Feel free to submit a pull request, with anything from small fixes to tools you'd like to add (or remove!). If adding a new tool, please add a brief description that you think new developers would understand.
Projects that do not have a working product will not be added.
Projects that are deprecated or no longer maintained will be removed.
Projects that are paid/restricted services without open source code or developer reviews will be further vetted.
We separate the support of tools/infra into:
✅ seamless support.
✔️ need custom config bsc network.
