Deploying a smart contract

Learn how to deploy a smart contract.

Prerequisites

Note:

Ensure your succesfully saved you previously written contract.

Warning:

Currently ARM64 architecture based machines (e.g.: Apple M-Series MacBooks) are NOT supported for compiling smart contracts. This limitation will be fixed soon.

Run the deploy command of qvmctl using docker

docker run --rm -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock -v $(pwd):/ws qanplatform/qvmctl deploy -language golang -privkey /ws/privkey -rpc <testnet_endpoint> </path/to/sourcecode>

Notes for solidity

The compiler does not support dynamic imports out of the box. It might be enabled later, but we generally recommend to have all sources in a single file to be absolutely sure what is being deployed.
Also, since Solidity also supports multiple contracts during compile, you must specify which contract you want to deploy with an extra parameter like this:

docker run --rm -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock -v $(pwd):/ws qanplatform/qvmctl deploy -language solidity -solidity.name MyContract -privkey /ws/privkey -rpc <testnet_endpoint> </path/to/sourcecode>

Where -solidity.name MyContract refers to the name of the contract you want to deploy.
