Overview
What is sbt-ethereum?
sbt-ethereum strives to be several tools in one:
- An interactive text-based platform with which “hobbyists” — people who are not programmers, but who are willing to devote a bit of time to learning — can interact with ethereum (and other compatible blockchains), and do so with a great deal of power and sophistication.
- A publication tool for ethereum smart contact applications, as sbt-ethereum repositories strive to be portable, and to both permit deployment of new smart contract instances and convenient interaction with already deployed smart contracts.
- For those who are (or wish to become!) programmers, a rich development environment for ethereum smart contracts
- An integration tool, which facilitates the development of high-performance Scala libraries and applications that interact with ethereum smart contracts

If you would like to support the continued development of sbt-ethereum, please donate to sbt-ethereum.eth. Donations of Ether or ERC-20 tokens are greatly appreciated.
Development
Source code for sbt-ethereum, along with several related projects, is hosted on github.
Github Repositories
- The main project is swaldman/sbt-ethereum
- swaldman/eth-command-line is a predefined sbt-ethereum repository which can be cloned or downloaded to quickly begin interacting with the Ethereum and compatible blockchains
- swaldman/solidity-seed.g8 is a giter8 project template for users interested in developing Solidity smart contracts with sbt-ethereum. An sbt-ethereum project can be quickly generated via
sbt new swaldman/solidity-seed.g8.
- swaldman/solidity-scala-seed.g8 is a giter8 project template for users interested in integrating Solidity smart contracts with Scala programs, using “stubs” generated by sbt-ethereum. An sbt-ethereum project can be quickly generated via
sbt new swaldman/solidity-scala-seed.g8.
- swaldman/consuela is the library which implements most of the ethereum functionality that sbt-ethereum relies upon.

Many thanks to Michal Slinn, who produced an excellent earlier iteration of sbt-ethereum documentation.
This documentation site is built with Lightbend Paradox.
This whole application is built on top of sbt, which is a weird but amazing tool.
sbt-ethereum’s giter8 templates embed Paul Phillips’ sbt-launcher.
