Deploying Wasm Smart Contracts

WASM VM

For more information about how to create Wasm smart contracts, refer to the Wasm VM chapter.

Deploy the Solo Tutorial​

The following examples will make use of the solotutorial Rust/Wasm smart contract.

In order to test the smart contract using Solo, first you need to deploy it. You can use the following code to deploy solotutorial_bg.wasm:

func TestTutorialDeploySC(t *testing.T) {
    env := solo.New(t, &solo.InitOptions{AutoAdjustStorageDeposit: true})
    chain := env.NewChain()
    err := chain.DeployWasmContract(nil, "solotutorial", "solotutorial_bg.wasm")
    require.NoError(t, err)
}

This will work as long as the solotutorial_bg.wasm file is in the same directory as the Go test code.

Create a Default Wallet and Chain​

You can use the NewChain() function to create a new wallet and deploys a new chain using said wallet, and other default parameters. You can access the wallet calling chain.OriginatorPrivateKey.

DeployWasmContract Parameters​

Deployer's Key Pair​

The first parameter to DeployWasmContract is the key pair of the deployer of the smart contract. You can pass nil to use a default wallet, which can be accessed as chain.OriginatorPrivateKey.

Smart Contract Name​

The second parameter to DeployWasmContract ("solotutorial"), is the name assigned to the smart contract instance. Smart contract instance names must be unique across each chain.

AutoAdjustStorageDeposit​

In the example above we enabled the AutoAdjustStorageDeposit option. This is necessary in order to automatically adjust all sent L1 transactions to include the storage deposit if necessary (provided that the sender owns the funds).

It is possible to disable the option and have manual control of the storage deposit, but in that case the deployment of the smart contract will have to be done "by hand".

In most cases it is recommended to leave it enabled.
