Welp, it's the end of an era.
Time to say goodbye to Truffle Suite (thanks for the memories 😭 )
Truffle and Ganache are a couple OG solidity development frameworks. You could use it for smart contract testing on locally run blockchains, to dApp deployment.
I remember when I was first learning about smart contract development, and truffle was head-to-head with Hardhat. Good times! Hardhat definitely has larger market share now.
Consensys and Hardhat have actually gotten a partnership moving during the 90 day sunset of Truffle, so developers can migrate easily.
Why is this important?
The tools and frameworks that developers opt for play a pivotal role in determining the efficiency, security, and scalability of their projects.
And Consensys has made been pretty transparent with where they have the largest demand: Infura, MetaMask Snaps, and SDK offerings.
So, it looks like the Consensys team is consolidating their engineers to other projects to expand support there.
