Smart contracts are at the heart of decentralized applications, enabling automated and trustless execution of agreements on the blockchain.
Klever Chain’s Virtual Machine (KVM) is designed to execute smart contracts efficiently using WebAssembly (WASM).
Although KVM theoretically supports any language that compiles to WASM, Rust is currently the only officially supported language because of its security and performance.
In this guide, I will walk you through deploying a smart contract on KleverChain using Rus and the KVM.
Prerequisites:
Before deploying your smart contract, ensure you have the following:
-
Rust Installed: Install Rust from Rust’s official site
-
Klever IDE: This provides an optimal coding environment for Klever smart contracts.
-
Klever Rust Framework: Includes essential tools for building and testing smart contracts.
-
Basic Understanding of Rust: Familiarity with Rust syntax and logic is helpful.
Step 1: Setting Up Your Development Environment - Install Rust and Cargo
-
Install Required Dependencies.
-
Ensure you have WebAssembly target support.
-
Set Up Your Project
-
Create a new Rust project
Step 2: Writing a Simple Smart Contract
Open src/lib.rs and define a simple contract
Step 3: Compiling to WASM
Advanced Features
Stateless Execution: The Klever VM ensures a smooth execution by preventing direct state modifications during runtime.
High Performance: Klever VM, powered by Wasmer, ensures near-native execution speed.
Preemptive Execution Control: Smart contracts can be halted immediately if needed, ensuring security and efficiency.
Deploying a smart contract on KleverChain is straightforward, especially with Rust’s clean syntax and Klever’s robust framework.
With tools like the Klever IDE and Rust SDK, developers can efficiently build and deploy secure smart contracts.
