Scaffold‑hbar deploys multichain Hedera dapps in seconds with built‑in AI

Hedera unveils scaffold-hbar, a CLI tool enabling multichain dapp deployment in seconds with eight testnet-ready templates and AI-assisted workflows. Developers can choose Hardhat or Foundry, integrate Next.js, RainbowKit, and wagmi, and deploy across LayerZero, Chainlink CCIP, and Axelar. The project emphasizes multichain native AI integration via Hedera Skills, avoids forced migrations, and includes a notable flagship multichain index template. A $HBAR prize of 5,000 is planned for top community templates in August 2026.
