​

Create Contract

1. In your CLI run the following command:
   Copy

   Ask AI

   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. If you open the contracts folder, you will find your smart contract; this is your 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 the ERC721A standard.

   pragma solidity ^0.8.0;
   
   import "@thirdweb-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 the functionality of ERC721Base through the following steps:
   • Importing the ERC721Base contract
   • Inheriting the contract by declaring that our contract is an ERC721Base contract
   • Implementing any required methods, such as the constructor.
5. After modifying your contract with your desired custom logic, you may deploy it to Celo using Deploy.

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.

For more information on different contracts available on Explore, check out thirdweb’s documentation.

​

Deploy Contract

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

   Ask AI

   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 contract(s) 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 (bps) that will be given to the royalty recipient for each secondary sale, e.g. 500 = 5%
3. Select Celo as the network
4. Manage additional settings on your contract’s dashboard as needed such as uploading NFTs, configuring permissions, and more.
