Entering WEB3
The Remix project offers a comprehensive toolkit designed for users at all knowledge levels. It serves both as a complete solution for smart contract development and as an educational laboratory for Ethereum learning and experimentation.
REMIX IDE
Start Here!
Remix IDE is a zero-configuration graphical interface for smart contract development. Whether you're an expert or a beginner, Remix enables quick onboarding. It integrates seamlessly with other tools and allows straightforward deployments on your preferred blockchain. Renowned for its visual debugger, Remix is the go-to platform for Ethereum learning.
Plugins
Everything is a Plugin
In Remix, functionality is modularized through plugins:
- Core Plugins: Pre-installed for essential operations.
- Additional Plugins: Extend capabilities with specialized tools.
All core plugins and select add-ons (marked with a ✅ green check) are built by the Remix team. We also support third-party developers in creating plugins for their projects.
Remix Plugin Engine
The engine manages inter-plugin communication. Developers should begin with the plugin repository. Plugins use Bootstrap and adhere to UI standards. Implementations can be seen in Remix IDE and the VSCode extension.
