👩‍💻Kalp Studio: How do I deploy a Smart Contract?

Hey Users! Welcome to the Kalp Studio Platform.

Tired of complex coding and deployment hassles? Building a Smart Contract shouldn't feel like climbing Mount Everest. This guide is here to empower you with a clear and smooth path to creating your Smart Contract. We'll break down the process into easy-to-follow steps, ensuring you have the confidence and knowledge to bring your ideas to life on the blockchain.

Smart contracts are digital agreements coded on a blockchain that automatically execute or enforce the terms of a contract when predefined conditions are met. They enable secure, transparent, and decentralized transactions without the need for intermediaries.

So, let’s begin with the Smart Contract creation on Kalp Studio.

Note: To deploy a Smart Contract, a project is needed. Let's understand how a project is created first.

Step 1: Project Initialization

Direct your attention to the 'Projects' segment within the Kalp Studio interface. This serves as the commencement point for smart contract creation and deployment.

Save Draft

If you want to pause the Smart Contract creation and would like to visit it later then Save Draft is a great option!

In this option, all fields are editable and can be modified at a later point.

Save & Publish

After you Save & Publish the Smart Contract gets deployed on the Kalp blockchain. You can still edit the Smart Contract Name and Description. All other fields are non-editable.

The published Smart Contract gets added to the list of Smart Contracts. If the user wants to make some changes in Smart Contract, Save Draft option can be used. The saved draft can be edited anytime by the user.

List of Smart Contracts

Adhering to these steps will ensure the professional and efficient creation of a Smart Contract on Kalp Studio, streamlining your project's development process. You can view the list of newly created Smart Contract after Save and Publish.
