Soarchain Smart Contract Starter Kit
Welcome to the Soarchain Smart Contract guide! This guie is designed to help you build smart contracts in Rust, specifically for deployment in modules compatible with the Cosmos SDK. It's crafted for all chains that support this functionality. To get a comprehensive understanding of the underlying framework, we highly recommend reviewing the detailed overview provided in the Soarchain contract templates repository. This guide presumes a foundational knowledge of blockchain theory and a readiness to dive into coding.
Essential Blockchain & DApp Knowledge — This documentation assumes your familiarity with blockchain concepts, DApps, and the basic operational knowledge of Blockchain.
Initializing a New Repository from the Template
Ensure you have the latest versions of Rust and Cargo (via rustup). Follow these steps to initialize a new repository for your contract from our template: How to Create a New Repo from the Template
Project Development
This repository serves as a template. It means you'll find placeholders that you need to replace with your actual implementation and logic. Look for comments in the code to guide you where replacements are needed.
Using Your Customized Project
After customizing the repository, you might need guidance on building your contract. The following section provides essential information.
Prerequisites
Ensure the wasm32-unknown-unknown target is installed:
rustc --version
cargo --version
rustup target list --installed
If wasm32 is not listed, run the following command:
rustup target add wasm32-unknown-unknown
Compiling and Running Your Contract
With your customized contract ready, it's crucial to compile and run it to ensure everything is set up correctly. Follow the steps outlined in Deploy a Smart Contract thoroughly.
Remember to update this README with information specific to your project, providing a detailed description of its functionality.
Decentralized Verification
Performing an in-depth code review for every dependency is impractical, leading to the rise of code audits in the blockchain sector.
An effective solution is the crev project, which offers A cryptographically verifiable code review system for the cargo (Rust) package manager.
We recommend CosmWasm contract developers to integrate this into their workflow. To get started with cargo-crev, follow their Getting Started Guide.
