Welcome to Acton
Acton is an all-in-one TON smart contract development toolkit
Acton is an all-in-one TON smart contract development toolkit written in Rust. It combines project scaffolding, build, testing, scripting, wallet and network operations, verification, linting, formatting, and low-level VM tooling in one CLI, with Acton Studio as its browser workspace.
New to Acton? Start with the installation, then follow the quickstart.
What one can do with Acton
- Create a new Tolk project from a ready-made template.
- Build contracts, run tests, and script interactions with a single CLI.
- Lint, format, and ensure contract code quality through coverage, mutation, and integration tests.
- Manage wallets, deploy to the network, and verify published contracts.
- Develop and test applications in virtual environments: simulator networks and full localnets.
- Transition from local tests to virtual environments to real networks with the same comprehensive Studio UI.

Installation
Install Acton and verify that the binary is available in the shell.
Quickstart
Create a counter project from the built-in template.
Walkthrough
Continue exploring Acton facilities within the quick start project.
Tutorial
Write your first smart contract with Tolk and Acton.
For an existing repository, start with acton init and grow the project instead of creating a new scaffold.
First production workflow
Test runner
Write unit and integration tests in Tolk, inspect traces, and measure coverage.
Acton Studio
Accelerate development with virtual environments and universal UI.
Linting
Check Tolk code, configure rules, and integrate checks into CI.
Wallet setup
Create local or global wallets and prepare them for deployment workflows.
Deployment
Deploy compiled contracts through scripts and understand the required inputs.
Verification
Verify that deployed bytecode matches the source code of the contract.
