Contract Deployment

In order to read contracts' state or write new interactions - you must first deploy it to the Arweave network.
This obviously requires a prepared contract code - if you want to write your first contract - head to the ArDit tutorial.

DeployPlugin

Since warp-contracts@1.2.54 deployment functionality has been moved to a dedicated plugin - warp-contracts-plugin-deploy. In order to use it and deploy your contract you must first install the plugin:

yarn add warp-contracts-plugin-deploy

npm install warp-contracts-plugin-deploy

...and then attach it to the Warp instance:

import { DeployPlugin } from 'warp-contracts-deploy-plugin';
import { WarpFactory } from 'warp-contracts';

const warp = WarpFactory.forMainnet().use(new DeployPlugin());

Deployment methods

Further informations about deployment - including all possible deployment methods can be found in the DeployPlugin docs.

You can learn more about how your contract is being posted to Arweave in Bundled contract format section.
