The package ships the `forge`, `cast`, `anvil`, and `chisel` commands for building and testing Solidity contracts, interacting with EVM chains, running a local node, and using a Solidity REPL. ### Project history The `foundry-rs/foundry` repository was created in 2021. Its README presents Foundry as a fast, portable, modular Ethereum development toolkit and splits the suite into Forge, Cast, Anvil, and Chisel. The official docs now organize Foundry around installation with `foundryup`, project setup, dependencies, Forge workflows, Cast chain interaction, Anvil local node usage, Chisel sessions, and `foundry.toml` configuration. ### Adoption history Foundry became a common smart-contract development package because it moved the Ethereum workflow into fast local CLIs: Solidity tests through Forge, forked-chain testing through Anvil, RPC and wallet tasks through Cast, and repeatable installs through `foundryup`, GitHub Releases, Docker, Homebrew, and source builds. ### How it is used The README's basic workflow is `forge init`, `forge build`, and `forge test`; common operational workflows include `cast block-number`, `cast balance`, and `anvil --fork-url` for a forked local chain. Configuration is kept in `foundry.toml` with profiles and environment-variable overrides. ### Why package nerds care Foundry is important in package history because it packaged a complete blockchain developer workstation as native CLIs rather than a JavaScript-only toolchain. It also made release management and version switching part of the package story through `foundryup`, nightly builds, binary attestations, Docker images, and Cargo builds. ### Timeline - 2021: The public `foundry-rs/foundry` repository was created. - 2026: GitHub tags included stable v1.7.x releases and GitHub Releases continued to publish nightly builds. - 2026: The official installation docs described `foundryup` as the installer and version manager and listed precompiled binaries, Docker, and source builds as alternatives. ### Related projects - Foundry is related to Ethereum, Solidity, EVM-compatible chains, GitHub artifact attestations, Docker images, Cargo/Rust builds, and the earlier smart-contract tooling ecosystem that it complements or replaces in many projects. ### Sources - - - - - - - - - ## Security Notes No matching local secret-handling manifest was found for foundry. Nucleus package metadata is still published here so future coverage has a stable package URL. ## Configuration and credential file locations These source-backed paths show where this package keeps local settings or durable credentials. Automic Vault can use them as review targets for secret scanning, migration, and command approval. ## Configuration files - Unix: foundry.toml, ~/.foundry/foundry.toml ## Source Database Details - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API -
