Why You Should Deploy Your Smart Contract with Thirdweb

Image description

When it comes to deploying smart contracts, Thirdweb is a total game-changer. Deploying a smart contract requires writing complex scripts, managing private keys, and dealing with RPC URLs. However, with Thirdweb, we can deploy a smart contract without exposing any private keys or writing any scripts. That means they are not needed in our code at all. This takes away a significant amount of stress and saves us a lot of time.

To deploy a smart contract on Thirdweb, we only need to follow a few easy steps. First, we need to build and compile our smart contract in our code editor of choice. I personally prefer to use VSCode and Hardhat to compile my contract. Once the contract is compiled without any errors, we can then deploy it to Thirdweb.

All you need to do is execute "npx thirdweb deploy" in your project terminal, and the Thirdweb dashboard will pop up. From there, you can configure and deploy your contract to the selected blockchain. For this demo, I used the Goerli(ETH) testnet. Once deployed, you will have access to the contract explorer. The contract explorer is extremely useful because you can see all of the contract details like functions, events and source code.

The contract explorer's most notable feature lies in the code tab, where Thirdweb produces code snippets that enable easy contract building without the need for hours of manual coding. You can also import existing smart contracts from other platforms into Thirdweb, further simplifying the deployment process.

One of the biggest advantages of using Thirdweb is its security. As developers, we are always concerned about the security of our smart contracts. With Thirdweb, we can be sure that our contracts are deployed securely and without exposing our private keys. This allows us to focus on other aspects of our development process.

I highly recommend using Thirdweb to deploy smart contracts and build on your favorite network. Thirdweb streamlines the process by removing the necessity of intricate scripts and the potential vulnerability of revealing private keys. In addition to its deployment capabilities, it offers a user-friendly interface and remarkable development tools.
