How can I create and deploy a Smart Contract?

Answer  

A Smart Contract is a self-executing contract with the terms of the agreement between buyer and seller directly written into lines of code. These contracts automatically execute and enforce themselves when predefined conditions are met. Smart contracts run on blockchain platforms, leveraging the decentralized and distributed nature of blockchain technology.

The following steps are required for creating and deploying a Smart Contract:

1. Create a Project on the Kalp blockchain.
2. Click on Smart Contract on the Dashboard and Create Smart Contract.
3. Fill out the required details like Name, Project, and Description.
4. Select the Environment, which can be Development, Staging, and Production
5. Select the Network Type as Testnet or Mainnet
6. Upload the extension file. The file format can be .zip, .tar.gz.
7. If you want to customize your smart contract based on a template select Kalp template.
8. Now you can Review the Smart contract, save it as a draft, or save and publish. After it is saved and published it is deployed on the blockchain.
