cargo-near is a Cargo extension that scaffolds, builds, checks and deploys near-sdk-rs contracts and generates their ABI schemas. It is free and dual-licensed under Apache-2.0 or MIT. Reproducible builds run in Docker from committed source only, so uncommitted changes are ignored and the code must be pushed to a remote repo.

Catch Reproducible builds use Docker and committed, pushed source only

Chain support, with sources

We only add a chain when the maker's own docs name it. "EVM-compatible" alone counts for no specific chain. A testnet-only record means the page we checked only shows testnet; it isn't a finding that mainnet is unsupported. This is what the docs say, not a test or security review.
