Every command is copy-paste exact (cargo stylus new/check/deploy/export-abi, devnode port 8547, chain-id 412346) and it proactively surfaces two non-obvious footguns a generic-knowledge baseline missed entirely: Stylus's required post-deploy activation step and the devnode's missing CORS headers (which needs a Next.js proxy route for browser frontends).

Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works

  • Installs cleanly 5/5
  • Triggers reliably 5/5
  • Output vs. baseline 8/10
  • Docs & honesty 4/5

An opinionated stack guide covering Stylus Rust and/or Solidity contract development on Arbitrum: monorepo scaffolding, running the official nitro-devnode locally, exact cargo-stylus/forge commands for check/deploy/export-abi, viem+wagmi frontend integration, and testnet/mainnet deployment with Arbiscan verification. Triggers when starting a new Arbitrum project, writing Stylus or Solidity contracts, or wiring a frontend to Arbitrum contracts.
