Deploying smart contracts

You need to deploy your smart contract for it to be available to users of OONE Chain.

To deploy a smart contract, you merely send an OONE Chain transaction containing the compiled code of the smart contract without specifying any recipient.

How to deploy a smart contract​

What you'll need​

  • your contract's bytecode – this is generated through compilation
  • OONE for gas – you'll set your gas limit like other transactions so be aware that contract deployment needs a lot more gas than a simple OONE transfer
  • a deployment script or plugin
  • access to an OONE Chain node, either by running your own or connecting to a public node

Steps to deploy a smart contract​

The specific steps involved will depend on the tooling you use. For an example, check out the Hardhat documentation on deploying your contracts or Truffle documentation on networks and app deployment. These are two of the most popular tools for smart contract deployment, which involve writing a script to handle the deployment steps.

Once deployed, your contract will have an OONE Chain address like other accounts.
