Smart Contract Quickstart

A WAX smart contract is a WASM compiled C++ file that executes actions on the WAX Blockchain and stores persistent data on every WAX full node's RAM.

In this tutorial, you'll learn how to create, compile, and deploy a WAX smart contract to your local development environment.

Before You Begin

• You'll need to complete our Docker Quickstart (recommended) or use the WAX Blockchain Setup to build from source.
• Have your local development environment ready. Refer to Set Up a Local dApp Environment for more information.
• To compile and deploy your smart contract locally, you'll need to use the WAX Contract Development Toolkit (WAX-CDT) and be familiar with basic concepts like WASM and ABI file generation.
