Remix IDE

Remix IDE is a powerful tool for developing, deploying, and managing smart contracts on various blockchain networks. In this guide, we will go through the steps to deploy a smart contract on the Lycan

Prerequisites

  1. Remix IDE: You can access Remix IDE through your browser at remix.ethereum.org.

  2. MetaMask: A browser extension wallet for managing your accounts and transactions. Make sure it is connected to the Lycan Chain.

Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Open Remix IDE

  1. Navigate to Remix IDE in your web browser.

  2. Create a new file in the contracts directory. Name it MyContract.sol.

Step 2: Write Your Smart Contract

Write your smart contract in Solidity. Here is a simple example of a Solidity contract:

// SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT
pragma solidity ^0.8.0;

contract MyContract {
    string public message;

    constructor(string memory _message) {
        message = _message;
    }

    function setMessage(string memory _message) public {
        message = _message;
    }
}

Step 3: Compile Your Contract

  1. Click on the Solidity Compiler tab on the left sidebar.

  2. Select the appropriate compiler version (matching your Solidity code).

  3. Click on the Compile MyContract.sol button.

Step 4: Configure MetaMask for Lycan Chain

  1. Open MetaMask and click on the network dropdown.

  2. Select Custom RPC and enter the following details:

    • Network Name: Lycan Mainnet

    • New RPC URL: https://rpc.lycanchain.com

    • Chain ID: 721

    • Symbol: LYC

  3. Save and switch to the Lycan Mainnet network.

Step 5: Deploy Your Contract

  1. Go back to Remix IDE and click on the Deploy & Run Transactions tab.

  2. In the Environment dropdown, select Injected Web3. This will connect Remix to MetaMask.

  3. Ensure that the Contract dropdown is set to MyContract.

  4. Click on the Deploy button. MetaMask will prompt you to confirm the transaction.

  5. Confirm the transaction in MetaMask.

Step 6: Interact with Your Deployed Contract

  1. Once the contract is deployed, it will appear in the Deployed Contracts section in Remix.

  2. You can interact with your contract functions directly from Remix by expanding the deployed contract interface.

Conclusion

By following these steps, you can easily deploy and manage your smart contracts on the Lycan Chain using Remix IDE. This setup ensures a smooth development experience and leverages the power of both Remix IDE and Lycan Chain.
