As a blockchain developer working primarily on the Ethereum network, I’ve had the chance to experiment with many frameworks, testing tools, and libraries. From building smart contract systems to integrating dApps with wallet features, some tools have become absolutely essential.
If you're building on Ethereum in 2025, here are 5 tools I can’t live without and why you should be using them too.
1. Foundry: The Fastest Way to Build and Test Solidity Contracts
Foundry has become the gold standard for smart contract development on Ethereum. It's lightweight, blazingly fast, and supports fuzzing, invariants, and scripting all out of the box!.
? I use Foundry to:
Blocks
When you need secure, battle tested contract logic, OpenZeppelin is the go to. Whether you're building ERC20 tokens, NFTs, access control, or upgradeable contracts, OZ gives you a solid foundation.
? I use OpenZeppelin to:
Even with Viem and Wagmi rising in popularity, Ethers.js remains a key tool for low level interaction, scripting, and backend services. It’s modular, well documented, and perfect for fine grained control.
? I use Ethers.js to:
Let’s be real. AI is part of the Ethereum dev stack now. From debugging complex reverts to suggesting cleaner contract logic, ChatGPT and Copilot are my constant companions.
? I use AI tools to:
Whether you’re launching a DeFi protocol, issuing on-chain credentials, or working on dApp infrastructure, the right toolkit makes all the difference.
What tools are essential in your Ethereum dev stack?

If you're building on Ethereum in 2025, here are 5 tools I can’t live without and why you should be using them too.
1. Foundry: The Fastest Way to Build and Test Solidity Contracts
Foundry has become the gold standard for smart contract development on Ethereum. It's lightweight, blazingly fast, and supports fuzzing, invariants, and scripting all out of the box!.
? I use Foundry to:
- Write and test Solidity contracts
- Run test suites with forge test
- Deploy and automate post deployment logic with forge script
2. OpenZeppelin Contracts: Security-First Smart Contract Building
Blocks
When you need secure, battle tested contract logic, OpenZeppelin is the go to. Whether you're building ERC20 tokens, NFTs, access control, or upgradeable contracts, OZ gives you a solid foundation.
? I use OpenZeppelin to:
- Build ERC721 certificates with role based minting
- Integrate access control for admins, students, and institutions
- Avoid reinventing the wheel on core contract logic
3. Ethers.js: The Reliable Backbone of Ethereum Interactions
Even with Viem and Wagmi rising in popularity, Ethers.js remains a key tool for low level interaction, scripting, and backend services. It’s modular, well documented, and perfect for fine grained control.
? I use Ethers.js to:
- Manually encode/decode contract calls
- Build scripts for contract interactions outside frontend UIs
- Interact with JSON-RPC endpoints and wallet
4. ChatGPT + GitHub Copilot: The AI Boost Every Solidity Dev Needs
Let’s be real. AI is part of the Ethereum dev stack now. From debugging complex reverts to suggesting cleaner contract logic, ChatGPT and Copilot are my constant companions.
? I use AI tools to:
- Draft initial contract templates
- Troubleshoot tricky compiler errors
- Generate test cases and optimize gas usage
The Ethereum ecosystem in 2025 is maturing fast but it's also growing in complexity. These tools help me focus on what matters most: building secure, scalable, and meaningful blockchain applications.
Whether you’re launching a DeFi protocol, issuing on-chain credentials, or working on dApp infrastructure, the right toolkit makes all the difference.
