orchestration

To build and deploy a zk dApp with Scaffold-ETH 2, you separate the process into contracts, frontend, and production phases. This workflow handles local chain forking, frontend integration using Scaffold hooks, and final IPFS or Vercel deployment.

The best way to integrate smart contracts with a Scaffold-ETH 2 frontend is by using Scaffold hooks for reads, writes, and events. This approach ensures safe contract-to-frontend integration and prevents breaking autogenerated outputs like deployedContracts.ts.

To safely manage secrets when deploying an Ethereum dApp, you must ensure strict key secrecy by never committing secrets to your repository. Proper network targeting and post-deploy verification are required before passing production QA checks.

Yes, you can run a local fork of the mainnet for testing zk proofs. The orchestration workflow's initial contract phase requires real-chain state via forking to validate external contract integration before moving to the frontend build.

A Scaffold-ETH 2 frontend deployment often fails if autogenerated files like deployedContracts.ts are manually modified or broken. You must adhere to strict Scaffold conventions and deterministic redeploy loops to ensure correct contract interactions.

Yes, the Scaffold-ETH 2 deployment workflow fully supports both IPFS and Vercel hosting. The production phase includes explicit validation gates and a QA checklist to ensure the final dApp is correctly published to your chosen hosting platform.
