Deploy Your NFT Smart Contract

Next, we'll use WAX-CDT tools to deploy your NFT smart contract to the WAX mainnet. Refer to WAX-CDT Deploy for more information.

  1. From Docker, open and unlock your wallet.

    shell
    cleos wallet open -n mywallet && cleos wallet unlock -n mywallet --password {wallet.pwd}
  2. Using cleos or an EOSIO compatible wallet, create a new public/private key pair for your smart contract.

    shell
    cleos wallet create_key -n mywallet
  3. From the command line, use cleos system newaccount. The example below uses waxdappacct1 as the primary WAX Account holder and creates a new smart contract account named waxnftowner1. To run this command, you'll need to have the proper authority. This means that the wallet containing your primary account must be opened and unlocked.

    shell
    cleos -u [chain-api-url] system newaccount waxdappacct1 waxnftowner1 EOS7jEb46pDiWvA39faCoFn3jUdn6LfL51irdXbvfpuSko86iNU5x --stake-net '5.00000000 WAX' --stake-cpu '5.00000000 WAX' --buy-ram-kbytes 32
  4. To run the inline create action in the simpleassets smart contract, you'll need to give your new waxnftowner1@active permission the additional eosio.code permission. This permission enhances security and allows your smart contract to send inline actions. From the command line, run the cleos set account permission command, and include the literal --add-code parameter.

    shell
    cleos -u [chain-api-url] set account permission waxnftowner1 active --add-code

    To verify the new permission, use the cleos get account command:

    shell
     cleos -u [chain-api-url] get account waxnftowner1

    The active permission now displays the new waxnftowner1@eosio.code permission.

    shell
    created: 2019-12-02T16:13:29.500
    permissions:
     owner     1:    1 EOS7jEb46pDiWvA39faCoFn3jUdn6LfL51irdXbvfpuSko86iNU5x
     active    1:    1 EOS7jEb46pDiWvA39faCoFn3jUdn6LfL51irdXbvfpuSko86iNU5x, 1 waxnftowner1@eosio.code
  5. Finally, set your contract with the cleos set contract command (make sure that you're in the waxnft folder):

    shell
    cleos -u [chain-api-url] set contract waxnftowner1 $(pwd) waxrng.wasm waxrng.abi
