ChainCatcher news, ConsenSys announced that it will gradually discontinue the Web3 development tools Truffle and Ganache, and authorize developers to use MetaMask tools such as Snaps and SDK to build DApps. ConsenSys stated that the demand for its Infura, MetaMask Snap, and SDK products has surged, and will shift the focus of the Truffle team to expanding these products and assisting developers in building with MetaMask.ConsenSys will collaborate with HardHat to provide a smooth transition process for current developers, supporting Truffle and Ganache users in transitioning to HardHat, Foundry, as well as other ecosystem tools like Remix, Thirdweb, and OpenZeppelin. Starting from December 20, 2023, the Truffle and Ganache codebases will continue to be available as public archives. This gives developers approximately 90 days to migrate to HardHat and other solutions.
