Truffle

Basics

• "Truffle’s developer tools reportedly date back to 2015, when they were developed from within ConsenSys’ venture production studio. As further noted, Truffle later received a $3 million investment in 2019 and partnered with Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan, as well as Microsoft Azure."
• Truffle is a development framework designed mainly for Ethereum. Written in Javascript ES6, Truffle provides the building blocks to quickly create, compile, deploy, and test blockchain-based applications.
• Blockchain development company Truffle has unveiled plans to expand its fully managed developer suite to include support for the blockchain protocols Corda, Hyperledger Fabric and Tezos.

Usage

• From their website (15-4-2020):

"Our tools already support a handful of exciting platforms: Ethereum, Quorum, Axoni, Hyperledger Fabric-EVM, Hyperledger Sawtooth, and Hyperledger Burrow. What's common amongst these chains is that they all use the Ethereum Virtual Machine under the hood. Ethereum is very near and dear to our hearts -- it's where we got our start, and where we are the most competent. But we're branching out, in large part due to market demand. In December we released a beta Corda-flavored Ganache as part of our initial support for the Corda platform. [And today] I'm excited to announce Tezos integration into the Truffle command line tool."
