# Cronos: Deploy Smart Contract

This documentation demostrate the deployment of smart contract to Cronos, using Solidity. @openzeppelin/contracts is used for the demo Solidity script.

Both Truffle and Hardhat are included in this documentation, feel free to choose one of them.

# Pre-requisites

# Supported OS

We officially support macOS, Windows and Linux only. Other platforms may work but there is no guarantee. We will extend our support to other platforms after we have stabilized our current architecture.

# Prepare nodejs and npm environment

You can refer to Downloading and installing Node.js and npm (opens new window)
Nodejs v10 is suggested

# Sufficient fund on deployer address

You can access to faucet (opens new window) to obtain testnet TCRO and explorer (opens new window) to view the address details.

# Git clone smart-contract-example

$ git clone [email protected]:crypto-org-chain/cronos-smart-contract-example.git

# Truffle: Deploy ERC20 Contract

# Step 1. Enter smart-contract-example/truffle folder

$ cd cronos-smart-contract-example/truffle

# Step 2. Run npm install inside the folder

$ npm install

# Step 3. Make a copy of .env.example to .env

$ cp .env.example .env

# Step 4. Modify .env and fill ONE of the field

MNEMONIC=goose easy ivory ...
PRIVATE_KEY=XXXXXXX

# Step 5. Review Migration Script at migrations/2_deploy_cronos_token.js

  const CronosToken = artifacts.require("CronosToken");
  
  module.exports = function (deployer) {
      deployer.deploy(CronosToken, "Cronos Token", "CRT", "1000000000000000000000000");
  };

# Step 6. Endpoints setting

By default, the script will be using your local host "127.0.0.1" - If you are not running a localhost, you may leverage the public endpoint https://evm-t3.cronos.org/ by making changes to networks in truffle-config.js, for example:

  networks: {
    development: {
      provider: new HDWalletProvider(getHDWallet(), "http://127.0.0.1:8545"), // TODO
      network_id: "*",       // Any network (default: none)
    },
    testnet: {
      provider: new HDWalletProvider(getHDWallet(), "https://evm-t3.cronos.org:443"), // TODO 
      network_id: "*",
      skipDryRun: true
    },
  },

# Step 7. Deploy Contract

npm run deploy-contract-cronos

# Step 8. Obtain Contract address from console and input to Metamask

Correct balance will be shown on Metamask page

# Hardhat: Deploy ERC20 Contract

# Step 1. Enter smart-contract-example/hardhat folder

$ cd smart-contract-example/hardhat

# Step 2. Run npm install inside the folder

$ npm install

# Step 3. Make a copy of .env.example to .env

$ cp .env.example .env

# Step 4. Modify .env and fill ONE of the field

MNEMONIC=goose easy ivory ...
PRIVATE_KEY=XXXXXXX

# Step 5. Review Migration Script at scripts/deploy-cronos-token.js

  async function main() {
      const CronosToken = await hre.ethers.getContractFactory("CronosToken");
      const cronosToken = await CronosToken.deploy("Cronos Token", "CRT", "1000000000000000000000000");
  
      await cronosToken.deployed();
  
      console.log("CronosToken deployed to:", cronosToken.address);
  }

# Step 6. Endpoints setting

By default, the script will be using your local host "127.0.0.1" - If you are not running a localhost, you may leverage the public endpoint https://evm-t3.cronos.org/ by making changes to networks in truffle-config.js, for example:

  networks: {
    development: {
      url: "http://localhost:8545",
      accounts: getHDWallet(),
     },
    testnet: {
      url: "https://evm-t3.cronos.org:443",
      accounts: getHDWallet(),
    },
  },

# Step 7. Deploy Contract

npm run deploy-contract-cronos

# Step 8. Obtain Contract address from console and input to Metamask

Correct balance will be shown on Metamask page

CronosToken deployed to: 0x5F803c894a0A16B46fe5982fB5D89eb334eAF68
