Improve GitHub Actions for Web3 / Blockchain Workflows #47
Description
GitHub Actions is powerful for CI/CD, but it could better support blockchain developers and multi-chain projects. Some areas for improvement:
Problems / Observations:
Complex setup for workflows involving smart contract deployment, verification, and upgrades.
Secrets management for RPC endpoints and private keys is not streamlined.
Cross-chain deployments and multi-network testing are cumbersome.
Suggestions / Improvements:
Native Web3 triggers — e.g., on-chain events like contract deployment or token minting.
Better secret handling for blockchain credentials.
Prebuilt templates for Solidity, Hardhat, Foundry, Move-based projects, and other blockchain frameworks.
Faster caching for npm, Rust, and other blockchain SDK dependencies to speed up CI/CD pipelines.
Goal:
Make GitHub Actions more blockchain-friendly, reduce friction for on-chain deployments, and improve developer experience for projects like Movement Network.
