Your First EVM Smart Contract

Step-by-step guide to creating a EVM smart contracts on Injective using Hardhat or Foundry development frameworks. Including set up, compilation, testing, deploying, verifying, and interacting with Solidity smart contracts.

Smart contracts are code that runs on a blockchain. You can compile Solidity smart contracts, and test, deploy, verify, and interact with them on Injective’s Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM). You can do so using standard EVM developer tools and frameworks too. These guides show you how to do so using Hardhat and Foundry.

Hardhat

This guide will walk you through building an EVM Smart Contract on Injective Testnet using Hardhat.

• Set up Hardhat and compile a smart contract
• Test a smart contract using Hardhat
• Deploy a smart contract using Hardhat
• Verify a smart contract using Hardhat
• Interact with a smart contract using Hardhat

Foundry

This guide will walk you through building an EVM Smart Contract on Injective Testnet using Foundry.

• Set up Foundry and compile a smart contract
• Test a smart contract using Foundry
• Deploy a smart contract using Foundry
• Verify a smart contract using Foundry
• Interact with a smart contract using Foundry

Smart contracts do not provide a user experience for non-technical users. To cater to them, you will need to build a decentralised application. To do so, check out the your first dApp guides!
