Abstract
DamlHat is a Hardhat/Foundry-inspired developer toolchain for the Canton Network. A single CLI scaffolds Daml projects, spins up a full multi-node local devnet in Docker, generates typed client SDKs for TypeScript and Python, and ships a transaction trace viewer for debugging. It directly targets the #1 pain point from the 2026 Canton Developer Experience Survey — infrastructure complexity (41% of respondents) — and the most-requested missing tool: a unified CLI framework.
