Ethereum on STEROIDS

The guys at Parastate have made it easy to deploy a Ethereum Dapp on testnet. Lets see how we can do that.We can just use the environment provided by parastate for developing,compiling and testing the DAPP

http://buidl.secondstate.io/parastate

Add parastate testnet custom rpc to Metamask.If you are not sure of how to install metamask or how to add RPC to metamask it is pretty easy and a google could do it.

You can use below article for reference

RPC end point details:

https://rpc.parastate.io:8545/

Chain id: 123

As with any Dapp you need some testnet tokens and you can get the tetsnet parastate token from their faucet at

http://faucet.parastate.io/

Use the ethereum address you connected to metamask and the faucet to get STATE tokens. Now you can check the token balance on metamask and it should be reflecting.

Import the private key of the account you used in the faucet in the accounts section as below

Write a smart contract and compile it

After successful compilation select “Deploy to Chain” and wait for the transaction confirmation.

After the contract is succesfully deployed click the Deployed tab on the left and you will find the smart contract that you just deployed to parastate testnet chain.

Call the functions using the call button and check the output in the logs

Viola . The ethereum Dapp even though a pretty basic one is working in Parastate without any customization or modifications.

You can also experiment with multiple smart contracrs. Code,compile ,deploy to chain and test

Play with it
