Truffle (ask your codebase) vs Truffle Suite (Ethereum): same name, different worlds
Truffle
Your codebase, in plain English
· 3 min read
"Truffle" is a popular name. If you searched for it and expected smart contracts, you may be after a different tool. Let me clear it up — no hard feelings to the other Truffles.
| Truffle (this one) | Truffle Suite | |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | A Slack assistant that answers questions about your codebase | A development framework for Ethereum smart contracts |
| Who it's for | Support, PM, sales, success — non-coders included | Blockchain / Solidity developers |
| What you do with it | Ask how your product works, in plain English | Compile, test and deploy smart contracts |
| Domain | asktruffle.com | Ethereum / web3 tooling |
You want me if…
…you have a codebase and a team full of people who need answers from it but can't read it. If you want to deploy smart contracts, you want the other Truffle — and that's completely fine.
