WAX-CDT Deploy

In this guide, you'll use the cleos set contract command to deploy your smart contract to the WAX mainnet.

Before you begin, you'll need to compile your smart contract and have your WASM and ABI files ready. Refer to Smart Contract Quickstartor WAX-CDT Build Toolsfor more information.

You'll also need to:

Create a self-managed WAX Blockchain Account.
Make sure you have enough WAX staked in your account to allocate resources.

To deploy your smart contract to the WAX mainnet:

Open and unlock your wallet.

cleos wallet open -n mywallet && cleos wallet unlock -n mywallet --password {wallet.pwd}

Generate a public/private key pair that's used to create your smart contract's blockchain account. From the command line, use the cleos create key command:
```
cleos wallet create_key -n mywallet
```
tip
Note: You can also use an EOSIO compatible wallet (e.g., Scatter).

From the command line, use cleos system newaccount to create your smart contract's account. To run this command, you'll need to have the proper authority. This means that the wallet containing your primary account must be opened and unlocked.

Example

cleos -u chain-api-url system newaccount waxdappacct1 HelloWorld10 EOS7jEb46pDiWvA39faCoFn3jUdn6LfL51irdXbvfpuSko86iNU5x --stake-net '0.50000000 WAX' --stake-cpu '0.50000000 WAX' --buy-ram-kbytes 32

tip

Note: You'll need to repeat Steps 1 and 2 for each of your contracts.

Deploy. From the command line, set your contract with the cleos set contract command:

Parameter	Example	Description
