Welcome to Acton

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.

New to Acton? Start with Installation, then follow the Quickstart. If you already have a repository, start with acton init and the Project initialization guide instead of creating a new scaffold.

What you can do with Acton

Create a new Tolk project from a ready-made template.
Build contracts, run tests, and script interactions from one CLI.
Manage wallets, deploy to the network, and verify published contracts.
Work locally with a TON-compatible development node, faucet, snapshots, and forked state.
