Hiro Platform Overview

A cloud-based development environment to kickstart your app development on Stacks.

The Hiro Platform is a hosted developer experience for creating, testing, and deploying smart contracts. It comes pre-installed with several tools, including Clarinet, VS Code, and a private blockchain network for testing, so you can spend less time setting up and more time building.

You can also set up custom event streams via chainhooks and manage API keys for Stacks and Ordinals.

Guides

Create a new project

Choose from a set of starter templates or import your existing GitHub repo.

Develop smart contracts

Start building immediately with zero installations required.

Create event streams with Chainhook

Create and manage webhook-like triggers that react to on-chain events in real time.

Deploy your contracts

Deploy your project with customizable deployment plans that can handle contract dependencies.

Iterate quickly with devnet

Leverage devnet, a private instance of the blockchain, for rapid feedback loops and a better debugging experience.

  • Clarinet: Prefer to stay local? Build and deploy smart contracts on your device with Clarinet.
  • Chainhook: You don’t need the platform to create event streams. Leverage chainhook independently, so your app can react to on-chain events in real time.
  • Stacks.js: Don’t reinvent the wheel and build faster with a JS library that handles basic functions.

Need help building with Clarinet? Reach out to us on the #clarinet channel on Discord under Hiro Developer Tools section. There's also a weekly office hours on Discord every Thursday at 11am ET.
