I built a fast, Rust-based CLI suite to replace my entire pre-deployment workflow.

After a year of work, I'm finally launching Blocktools, my answer to the friction I felt in the day-to-day EVM development lifecycle.

It’s a suite of five specialist CLI tools, written in Rust for performance, designed to be the only thing you need before you deploy:

1. sol-sentry: An automated security scanner that catches common vulns.
2. gas-forecaster: Get accurate, multi-chain deployment cost estimates in USD.
3. sol-console: An interactive REPL for your contracts with instant mainnet forking.
4. receipt-parse: A human-readable transaction decoder.
5. event-tail: A real-time tail -f for on-chain events.

My goal was to create a zero-dependency, cohesive system that's built for professional developers who live in the terminal.

The core of the suite is free to use forever. For advanced features like test generation and CI/CD integration, there's a Pro license. This ensures the project can be professionally maintained and supported for the long haul.

I explain the whole philosophy on the launch blog post. Would love for you to check it out and give me your honest feedback.
