Your ultimate cheat codes to web3 development are here. 🚀 

Introducing the thirdweb CLI: the fastest way to deploy smart contracts and build web3 apps — in minutes.

→ Create & deploy contracts to any EVM-compatible blockchain
→ Upload files to decentralized storage (IPFS), in any format
→ Use our quick-start templates to build web3 apps for any use case

The CLI is your all-in-one tool to become a 10x web3 developer — whether you’re building an NFT collection, a marketplace, or a full-scale game.

Here’s a breakdown of the 7 commands you can input, and what they unlock:

1. npx thirdweb deploy

Easily deploy any contract to any EVM-compatible chain. No setup, hardcoded private keys, RPC URLs, or scripting required.

2. npx thirdweb create

Start building web3 apps, fast. Create a new project with all of the thirdweb packages installed & configured — and build with our SDKs, pre-built audited contract templates, or custom smart contract builder.

3. npx thirdweb install

Install thirdweb dependencies into your existing project. If any thirdweb package (or Ethers) is already installed, they are updated to the latest compatible version.

4. npx thirdweb build

Compile your smart contracts and detect any extensions you implemented.

5. npx thirdweb generate

Detects all contract addresses in your project, then preloads each smart contract's ABI in your project.

6. npx thirdweb upload

Upload any file to decentralized storage (IPFS), in any format — including images, videos, audio, PDFs, 3D files, and more.

7. npx thirdweb publish

Share your smart contracts with the world: Let anyone deploy them to any EVM blockchain and unlock SDKs, dashboards, & analytics — in one click.
