Glitch Finance is delighted to announce that the initial functionality to run an EVM contract on the mainnet is available to developers. The EVM Developer Document is also now accessible to facilitate the deployment of EVM-compatible smart contracts.

The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step. — Lao Tzu

What benefits does EVM developer documentation provide to the GLITCH mainnet and developers?

  • Smart contract developers (at any skill level) can learn how to use Remix to launch an EVM-compatible contract.
  • Developers may utilize the documentation to publish the first iteration of their EVM smart contract.
  • In addition, the documentation assists developers in understanding the GLITCH code. It will support them in the future in maintaining and updating their decentralized applications (dApps) and the EVM smart contract that operates it.

*Note that only the EVM functionality is available now; Substrate mainnet contracts will be available in future network protocol upgrades. Complete blockchain core functional requirements/tech docs are being compiled now to be published in the near term.

How to Deploy an ERC-20 Smart Contract using Remix IDE

Requirement:

  • Use ERC-20 Smart contract: GlitchTest (Below Step 4)
  • Use Remix IDE to deploy
  • Use MetaMask to add MAINNET network
  • Knowledgeable Rust & Solidity language

Step 1: Add ERC-20 smart contract on Remix IDE (Below Step 4)

Step 2: Solidity Compiler

  • Compiler: Select the solidity version corresponding with the smart contract. (Example: GlitchTest smart contract is 0.5.0)
  • Language: Solidity
  • EVM Version: Default
  • Contract: CodeWithJoe(ERC20.sol) in GlitchTest smart contract
  • Click the [Compile ERC20.sol] button

Step 3: Deploy & Run transactions

  • Environment: Injected Web3
  • Account: Account connect MetaMask. (Noted: Account has balance)
  • Gas Limit: Default
  • Value: Default
  • Contract: CodeWithJoe — ERC20.sol in GlitchTest smart contract
  • Click the [Deploy] button

Step 4: Add contract to MetaMask and transfer

  • Add ERC-20 token to Metamask: 0x038a68FF68c393373eC894015816e33Ad41BD564
  • Transfer ERC-20 token
