Dive into Ergo Development
This page covers the best entry points for any developer looking to get set up for building on Ergo.
Getting setup
Appkit: A Library for Polyglot Development of Ergo Applications
Using Appkit Ergo applications can be written in one of the languages supported by GraalVM (i.e. Java, JavaScript, C/C++, Python, Ruby, R) and using this library applications can communicate with Ergo nodes via unified API and programming model provided by Appkit.
(See ‘Tutorial starting with Appkit on Gradle projects’ below for your best starting point into dApp development from JVM)
SigmaRust
sigma-rust is an alternative and simple implementation of ErgoTree interpreter and transaction building tools. The goal for the Rust version is to be on par with Scala version feature-wise. Now Rust version is still significantly behind. Also the goal for the Rust version is to have bindings for web, iOS and Android. The Scala version will continue to be the primary choice for JVM ecosystem with Rust version covering the rest.
