What it does
Four jobs. All software.
ChainForge isn't a tutorial site or a template gallery. Each capability is a piece of working software, shipping milestone by milestone.
Scaffold
Generates a Cargo (Rust's standard toolchain) project with pallets wired into the runtime, chain spec defaults, a CLAUDE.md tuned to Vitreus, and tests that pass on day one.
Validate
Runs Vitreus-specific lint checks against your code. Each finding lands with a line, severity, the reason it matters, and a suggested fix.
Deploy
Builds + validates your parachain to WASM, then hands you the artifacts and a pre-filled script you run locally to register it. You sign with your own seed — ChainForge is never in the signing path.
Discover
An opt-in gallery of forkable projects and a Q&A indexed to real code. Reachable from inside your AI agent too, so it stops guessing.
How it works
Three actors. One chain.
ChainForge isn't another AI coding agent and it isn't a place you log into to type. It's the chain-specific software that fits between your agent and the chain.
Your AI agent types the code.
Claude Code, Cursor, whatever you use. ChainForge feeds it the chain-specific context it doesn't ship with — pallet conventions, foot-gun patterns, pointers into the real Vitreus source.
ChainForge does the Vitreus work.
Scaffolds the starter, validates against the conventions, walks the deploy, tracks your chain on Vitreus. Real software running, not a doc site to read.
You decide what ships.
Every commit, every key, every signed transaction. ChainForge sits in the path while you build, and steps out the moment you deploy.
What you can build
Real chains. Real shapes.
Each starter is a working pallet, not a sketch. Pick one and run with it — or compose two and learn how they wire together.
Token with governance
A fungible asset with on-chain voting on supply, fees, and treasury.
Prediction market
Markets with oracle settlement and on-chain payouts on resolved events.
Oracle feed
A price or data feed your other pallets can consume — signed off-chain, verified on-chain.
NFT marketplace
Mint, list, trade — with governance over royalties and listing fees.
Decentralised exchange
Trade tokens directly on-chain — automated pricing or an order book, with the fee curve you set.
Build from scratch
Empty runtime skeleton. You wire the pallets you actually need.
Why builders pick ChainForge
Concrete moats. Not vibes.
Built for Vitreus from day one.
Every output knows the chain it's targeting. Generic Substrate tools don't ship with Vitreus pallet templates, chain spec defaults, or canonical pallet references — they're not wrong, they're just one layer of abstraction too far. ChainForge isn't.
AI-agent native.
Your agent gets a tuned CLAUDE.md with chain conventions, foot-gun patterns, and pointers into the real Vitreus source. From M9, it can also query the Q&A index without leaving your editor.
You sign, on your own machine.
Your keys never leave your computer. ChainForge builds + validates your parachain, then hands you a pre-filled script you run locally and sign with your own seed. It connects no wallet, sees no private key, holds no funds, hosts no runtime.
Foundation-sanctioned source of truth.
Vitreus is open source. ChainForge reads from the real source — pallet code, runtime metadata, chain spec format — with Foundation oversight on accuracy. What you ship is what the chain accepts, not a paraphrase that drifts.
Your parachain is one weekend away.
