ThirdWeb

This tutorial walks through creating and deploying a smart contract using thirdweb's command line interface.

Alternatively, you can deploy a prebuilt contract for NFTs, tokens, or marketplace directly from the thirdweb Explore page:

1. Go to the thirdweb Explore page: https://thirdweb.com/explore
2. Choose the type of contract you want to deploy from the available options: NFTs, tokens, marketplace, and more.
3. Follow the on-screen prompts to configure and deploy your contract.

Creating Contracts

To create a new smart contract using thirdweb CLI, follow these steps:

1. In your CLI run the following command:

   npx thirdweb create contract

2. Input your preferences for the command line prompts:

   1. Give your project a name.
   2. Choose your preferred framework: Hardhat or Foundry.
   3. Name your smart contract.
   4. Choose the type of base contract: Empty, ERC20, ERC721, or ERC1155.
   5. Add any desired extensions.

3. Once created, navigate to your project's directory and open in your preferred code editor.

4. In the contracts folder, you will find the smart contract written in Solidity.

   The following is code for an ERC721Base contract without specified extensions. It implements all of the logic inside the ERC721Base.sol contract; which implements ERC721A standard.

   // SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT
   pragma solidity ^0.8.x;
    
   import "@third-web/dev/contracts/base/ERC721Base.sol";
    
   contract Contract is ERC721Base {
       constructor(
           string memory _name,
           string memory _symbol,
           address _royaltyRecipient,
           uint128 _royaltyBps
       ) ERC721Base(_name,_symbol,_royaltyRecipient,_royaltyBps){}
    }

   This contract inherits functionality of ERC721Base through following steps:

   • Importing the ERC721Base contract.
   • Inheriting the contract by declaring that our contract is an ERC721Base contract.
   • Implementing any required methods such as constructor.

5. After modifying your contract with your desired custom logic, you may deploy it on Avalanche with the following command:

   npx thirdweb deploy

Deploying Contracts

Deploy allows you to deploy a smart contract to any EVM compatible network without configuring RPC URLs, exposing your private keys, writing scripts, and other additional setup such as verifying your contract.

1. To deploy your smart contract using deploy, navigate to the root directory of your project and execute the following command:

   npx thirdweb deploy

   Executing this command will trigger the following actions:

   • Compiling all the contracts in the current directory.
   • Providing the option to select which contracts you wish to deploy.
   • Uploading your contract source code (ABI) to IPFS.

2. When it is completed, it will open a dashboard interface to finish filling out the parameters.

   • _name: contract name
   • _symbol: symbol or "ticker"
   • _royaltyRecipient: wallet address to receive royalties from secondary sales
   • _royaltyBps: basis points that will be given to royalty recipient for each secondary sale. For example: 500 = 5%.

3. Select "Avalanche" as the network.

4. Manage additional settings on your contract's dashboard as needed such as uploading NFTs, configuring permissions, and more.
