Dandelion Tools

Rust
Blockchain
Smart Contracts
Visual Programming

A visual coding system that turns drag-and-drop logic blocks into actual smart contracts. Powered by ink! and built for the DDLN blockchain.

Colorful visual blocks representing code structures for smart contract generation.

Imagine writing smart contracts without touching Rust — just blocks, clicks, and magic.

I worked with a small, brilliant crew to build tools for the Dandelion Net (DDLN), a blockchain developed by another team. We didn’t invent the chain — but we made it usable, lovable, and borderline fun.

Here’s what we actually built:

  • 🧱 A drag-and-drop smart contract builder that spits out real ink! code
  • 🖥 A backend that compiles said code in real-time and gives you instant feedback (or rage)
  • 🚀 A shiny Deploy button that connects straight to DDLN
  • 🛍 A marketplace for contracts — like VSCode extensions, but with fewer opinions
  • 📦 A JavaScript SDK so others could interact with the chain without losing their minds
  • ⚙️ CI/CD pipelines so stable, one of my cats started pushing tags in her sleep

I technically led the team, but honestly? Everyone crushed it. It was one of those rare projects where things broke exactly how you’d expect — and that’s a compliment.
