Smart Contracts

There are several tools available to develop and test contracts. One of the simplest tools is provided on the official Ethereum site itself. The tool is called Remix, we will use this for our contract development.

Remix for Contract Development

Open the Remix IDE by typing in the following URL in your browser.https://remix.ethereum.org

The following screen will appear.

Contract Development

In the center window, you will see some default code, which is a sample Solidity code. You will type your contract code in this code editor. Your code may be auto-compiled. Upon successful compilation of the code, you will be able to run the code in the same IDE. When you execute the contract methods, the results will be displayed in the same IDE window. There are facilities to debug the code and to unit test your project. These can be seen in the menu bar at the top right hand side as shown in the IDE screenshot below. You will be using these options shortly.

Remix options

You will now start writing your contract.

    Solidity is an object-oriented language especially developed for contract writing. It is a high-level language, which inherits traits from C++, Python, and JavaScript. The Solidity compiler compiles your source code into bytecode that runs on Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM). For quick understanding of the Solidity syntax, look at the sample code in the IDE.pragma solidity…

    In this chapter, we will learn the creation of contract users on Ethereum. To create a user for our published contract, we will create another MyEtherWallet client attached to the same Ganache Blockchain that you have been using in the previous steps. Go to the MyEtherWallet screen and create a new wallet. Click on the contracts menu and select the “Interact with…

  • Deploying Contract

    Byadmin

    To deploy the contract, select the Contracts menu option as shown in the screenshot below − You will need to enter the contract’s bytecode on this screen. Remember, when you compile your Solidity contract code, it generated a bytecode that runs on EVM. You will now need to obtain this bytecode from Remix IDE. Go to the Remix…
