We’re excited to announce that Chainstack now supports the Ink platform, a Rust-based smart contract language built specifically for Substrate-based blockchains, unlocking secure, efficient, and composable on-chain logic.
With this integration, Web3 developers can now leverage battle-tested Chainstack infrastructure to deploy, test, and scale their Ink-based contracts faster than ever—without worrying about costly infrastructure overhead.
Why build with Ink?
Ink is the native smart contract language for Polkadot, Kusama, and Substrate ecosystems. Built for performance and safety, it offers:
- Rust-native language: Compile secure, low-level smart contracts with robust tooling.
- Substrate compatibility: Power any parachain or standalone Substrate runtime.
- WASM output: Deploy to chains supporting WebAssembly smart contracts.
For developers, it means lower risk, better tooling, and a powerful gateway into Polkadot-based ecosystems.
Build better with Ink on Chainstack
Running Ink smart contracts on Chainstack is now Substrate-native and WASM-secure. Whether you’re building advanced logic for parachains or launching low-gas apps, Chainstack offers:
- Dedicated Ink-compatible infrastructure for Polkadot and Substrate
- Flat compute-based pricing—no request inflation
- Custom cloud deployment with Substrate tooling pre-integrated
