That’s all for part 1 of this tutorial, in part 2 we’ll actually interact with our smart contract by updated our initial message, and in part 3 we’ll publish our smart contract to Etherscan so everyone will know how to interact with it. To learn more about sending transactions, check out this tutorial on sending transactions using Web3 Two important ones to call out here are eth_sendRawTransaction, which is the request to actually write our contract onto the Ropsten chain, and eth_getTransactionByHash which is a request to read information about our transaction given the hash (a typical pattern when Here you’ll see a handful of JSON-RPC calls that Hardhat/Ethers made under the hood for us when we called the.

If you have multiple Alchemy apps make sure to filter by app and select “Hello World”. To understand what’s going on under the hood, let’s navigate to the Explorer tab in our Alchemy dashboard. The From address should match your MetaMask account address and the To address will say “Contract Creation” but if we click into the transaction we’ll see our contract address in the To field:Ĭongrats! You just deployed a smart contract to the Ethereum chain 🎉 The transaction will look something like this: If we go to the Ropsten etherscan and search for our contract address we should able to see that it has been deployed successfully. After you input your MetaMask account address and click “Send Request”, you should see a response like this:

This will return the amount of ETH in our wallet. To double check our balance is there, let’s make an eth_getBalance request using Alchemy’s composer tool. You should see ETH in your MetaMask account soon after! Step 5: Check your Balance To get ETH you can go to the Ropsten faucet and enter your Ropsten account address, then click “Send Ropsten ETH.” It may take some time to receive your fake ETH due to network traffic.

In order to deploy our smart contract to the test network, we’ll need some fake ETH. When you are creating an account, or if you already have an account, make sure to switch over to the “Ropsten Test Network” in the upper right (so that we’re not dealing with real money).

You can download and create a MetaMask account for free here. For this tutorial, we’ll use MetaMask, a virtual wallet in the browser used to manage your Ethereum account address. We need an Ethereum account to send and receive transactions. Step 3: Create an Ethereum account (address)
