**Status: Dead · Sep 21, 2023.** Truffle Suite has shut down.

## What this means

The service is no longer operating. Support ended ~90 days after the Sept 21, 2023 announcement; codebases and docs remain as read-only public archives under the ConsenSys-archive GitHub org but receive no updates or security patches. Migrate active projects to Hardhat or Foundry, and back up any Truffle Teams/CI dashboard data before relying on the frozen archive.

## Where to go (live alternatives)

- **Hardhat** - The officially recommended migration target from ConsenSys; actively maintained EVM dev environment with rich plugin ecosystem
- **Foundry** - Fast, actively developed Rust-based toolkit (forge/anvil) that has become a de facto standard for Solidity testing and deployment
- **Remix IDE** - Live, free browser-based Solidity IDE maintained by the Ethereum Foundation, good for contracts and quick migration
