Deploy a smart contract instance

Follow these steps to deploy a smart contract instance using MARCO Console.

Before you begin

Before you start, you must have:

• The smart contract template you want to deploy created in your organization.
• The wallet that will be used to deploy the smart contract template created in your organization.
• A user with the SMART_CONTRACT_TEMPLATE_MANAGER and SMART_CONTRACT_MANAGER roles at the organization level or higher permissions.

Step by step

To deploy a smart contract instance:

1. Open MARCO Console.

2. On the left sidebar, go to Smart Contracts Templates > List Templates.

3. Select the smart contract template you want to deploy.

4. Choose the specification version you want to deploy.

5. Review the smart contract template details and click Deploy smart contract instance.

6. Enter the smart contract instance details:

   • Ledger to deploy: The network where the smart contract instance will be deployed. For more information, see DLTs.
   • Smart contract instance name: The name of the smart contract instance.
   • Contract deployment parameters: The constructor parameters required to deploy the smart contract instance. The parameters vary depending on the smart contract specification requirements.
   • Wallet: The wallet that will deploy the smart contract instance.
   • Unlock password: The password to unlock the wallet.

7. Click Deploy Instance.

8. Wait for the smart contract instance to be Deployed.

   The deployment process can take a few minutes, and you need to refresh the page to see the status.

You can check the deployment details in the Smart Contract Instances > List Instances section.

Troubleshooting

If the smart contract status remains on Pending for a long time, check the following:

• Refresh the page: The deployment process can take a few minutes, and you need to refresh the page to see the status.

• Invalid wallet password: If you have set an incorrect password, the deployment will fail silently. To fix this, you need to deploy the smart contract instance again with the correct password.

• Invalid network: You are deploying the smart contract instance to the correct network. Suppose you are deploying a smart contract instance on an finboot-clique-v1 network. In that case, you must have a wallet with an Ethereum address and a smart contract specification written in Solidity. To fix this, you need to deploy the smart contract instance again with the correct network.

• Insufficient funds: If you are deploying a smart contract instance to a public network, the wallet deploying the instance needs funds to deploy it. To fix this, you must send enough native currency to the wallet to deploy the smart contract instance.

  note

  The finboot-clique-v1 is a private network. Therefore, wallets do not need to own native currency to deploy a smart contract instance.
