As the Ethereum ecosystem grows and the number of smart contract developers increases, a new business opportunity has appeared. Smart contracts are pieces of code that live on the blockchain. The deployment of a smart contract first involves a developer…
With the release of Chainstack 1.3, we are happy to be introducing protected endpoints for all Ethereum and Quorum nodes using basic access authentication. This is in line with our commitment to providing secure and stable development environments for our…
As a developer advocate over at Chainstack, I’ve worked closely with both developers who are creating on top of Ethereum (we don’t support Bitcoin currently) and support has been great. It help’s that Ethereum has a great developer community.
Building on top of Ethereum has never been easier. Frameworks such as the ever-popular Truffle-suite and Embark make it very easy for developers to quickly deploy contracts and interact with them. These frameworks, unfortunately, are best suited for testing and experimentation.
In this tutorial, we will deploy our own Chainlink node and then seamlessly get it to connect to an Ethereum node created via Chainstack (I work there). This will be done on the Ropsten network.
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. It is an introduction to deploying contracts and sending both public and private Quorum transactions using the web3.js library. The code used within this guide has also been uploaded to GitHub. It’s recommended that you clone the repo prior to experimentation.
