Deploying a smart contract these days is easier than you think. By combining a popular framework called Embark with Chainstack’s capability to quickly deploy Ethereum nodes on the Mainnet, smart contract deployment is as easy as sending an email.
This guide is intended for anyone interested in experimenting with Quorum.
