Smart Contract Deployment

Last updated 11 months ago

You need to deploy your smart contract for it to be available to users of an U2U network.

To deploy a smart contract, you merely send a 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

  • U2U 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 U2U transfer

  • a deployment script or plugin

  • access to an U2U node, either by running your own, 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, Remix and . They are 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 address like other accounts.
