Deploying Your Solidity Smart Contract on the Polygon Blockchain Using Kalp Instant Deployer

Deploying smart contracts on blockchain networks involves complex configurations and multiple tools. However, with Kalp Instant Deployer, the process is simplified, making it easier for developers to deploy their Solidity smart contracts on the Polygon blockchain with minimal effort. Polygon, known for its low gas fees and fast transactions, has become one of Ethereum's most popular Layer-2 scaling solutions, providing an efficient environment for decentralised applications.

This tutorial will guide you through deploying your Solidity smart contract on the Polygon blockchain using Kalp Instant Deployer. Whether new to blockchain development or experienced, Kalp Instant Deployer offers an easy-to-use platform to streamline the deployment process, saving you time and reducing friction.

Before diving further into the tutorial, here is what you need beforehand.

Prerequisites

  • Basics of Solidity: Some knowledge about how to write code in Solidity is needed because we will upload the smart contract in Solidity.
  • Solidity Smart Contract: A ready-to-deploy Solidity Smart Contract.
  • Kalp Studio account: Kalp Studio is a decentralised infrastructure platform designed to build, manage, and scale blockchain applications and networks. Sign up here to use Kalp Studio.
  • Kalp Studio Wallet: To ensure you can deploy your smart contract, you need to have a Kalp Studio wallet connected to the Polygon Network, and the wallet should have some MATIC tokens for gas fees on the Polygon network. To create a Kalp Studio wallet over the Polygon network and transfer MATIC tokens to it, follow our previous tutorial here: Creating Your Custodial Polygon Wallet on AMOY Network Using Kalp Studio.

Now that we have the setup, let’s dive into deploying the smart contract.

Prepare Your Solidity Smart Contract

Make sure your Solidity smart contract is compiled and ready for deployment. If you’re using Remix IDE, you can compile it there. To know more about the process, follow our tutorial: Create Your First Smart Contract in Solidity and Upload it to Kalp Instant Deployer.

Here’s a simple example of a smart contract for demonstration purposes.

// SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT
pragma solidity ^0.8.0;

contract SimpleStorage {
    uint256 storedData;

    function set(uint256 x) public {
        storedData = x;
    }

    function get() public view returns (uint256) {
        return storedData;
    }
}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Save this smart contract as a .sol file.

(Feel free to use the smart contract of your choice. The smart contract used here is solely for the tutorial’s purpose)

Now that we have successfully created and compiled our smart contract, it’s time to test the power of Kalp Studio and deploy it using the Kalp Instant Deployer.

Deploying the Smart Contract on Kalp Instant Deployer

Once the wallet is connected and the smart contract is ready.

  • On your Kalp Studio Dashboard, go to the Kalp Instant Deployer and click the Explore button.

Kalp Studio Dashboard

  • After clicking the Explore button, you will be redirected to the Smart Contract page, where all your deployed smart contracts will be listed.

Smart Contract List

  • Let’s deploy a new smart contract. Click the + Deploy New button in the top right corner.
  • After clicking the button, you will be redirected to the Create Smart Contract form. Fill in the details.

Create Smart Contract Form

  • Next, you need to upload your smart contract which we saved as a .sol file in the beginning of the tutorial, and then click on Continue.

Uploading the Smart Contract

  • Re-check all your details, and once it is finalised, click Continue.

Finalising Smart Contract

  • Wait for a few seconds, and if you followed all the steps correctly. You should now see that your smart contract has been deployed successfully.

Uploaded Smart Contract

Notice that on the above page, you can find the essential details about your deployed smart contract, like ID, Name, Category, Network, Blockchain and so much more.

Conclusion

Using Kalp Instant Deployer, you can easily deploy your Solidity smart contract to the Polygon blockchain. It abstracts much of the complexity of blockchain interactions, allowing you to focus more on development and less on infrastructure.

Now that your contract is deployed, you can interact with it, build dApps, or further extend its functionality.

In the upcoming tutorials, we will see how we can generate end-points from our deployed smart contract using Kalp Studio’s API Gateway. We will keep you posted.
