Smart Contracts

Wireshape provides a robust foundation for developers to harness the power of smart contracts, aiming to revolutionize product data management and supply chain processes. As a pioneering open blockchain network, Wireshape is dedicated to the decentralization of product data, offering developers the tools and frameworks necessary to create secure, efficient, and transparent solutions.

Introduction to Smart Contract Development​

Smart contracts are self-executing contracts with the terms of the agreement directly written into code. On the Wireshape platform, these contracts play a vital role in automating processes, ensuring data integrity, and facilitating trustless transactions within the supply chain ecosystem.

Key Benefits​

Automation: Streamline operations by automating contractual obligations, reducing manual intervention and the potential for errors.

Transparency: Achieve unparalleled transparency with immutable records of transactions and interactions, enhancing trust among parties.

Efficiency: Improve operational efficiency by reducing the time and costs associated with traditional contract management and execution.

Getting Started with Smart Contract Development on Wireshape​

Wireshape's compatibility with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) allows developers to use Solidity for smart contract development, providing a familiar and powerful environment for creating decentralized applications (dApps).

Development Process​

  1. Environment Setup: Configure your development environment with the necessary tools, including a Solidity compiler and a development framework like Truffle or Hardhat.

  2. Smart Contract Coding: Write your smart contract code in Solidity, defining the logic and functions that will govern your dApp's operations.

  3. Testing: Rigorously test your smart contracts to ensure they work as intended and are free from vulnerabilities. Wireshape Floripa Testnet serves as an essential tool for developers, offering a realistic and controlled environment to test smart contracts before their official launch on the Wireshape mainnet.

  4. Deployment: Deploy your smart contracts to the Wireshape network. This step involves compiling your contracts, generating deployment artifacts, and interacting with the Wireshape blockchain.

note

Currently, the Wireshape ecosystem includes the Wireshape Floripa Testnet, which is publicly available for testing, while the Wireshape mainnet is under development and yet to be launched.

Advanced Features and Tools​

Wireshape offers compatibility with a suite of advanced tools and features to enhance smart contract development:

  • IDEs: IDEs are software suites that provide comprehensive facilities to computer programmers for software development. They significantly influence the efficiency of writing, deploying, and debugging decentralized applications (dApps) on platforms like Wireshape.

  • Libraries: The Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) stands at the core of decentralized application (dApp) development and smart contract execution on blockchain networks compatible with Ethereum. To facilitate efficient interaction with the EVM, a suite of Application Programming Interface (API) libraries are essential tools for developers, simplifying the complexities of blockchain communication, smart contract deployment, and interaction within the Wireshape ecosystem and beyond.

  • Frameworks: Frameworks dedicated to blockchain and decentralized application (dApp) development equip developers with essential tools for streamlining the creation, testing, and deployment of dApps.

Wireshape Faucet and Floripa Testnet​

To support development and testing, Wireshape provides critical infrastructure such as the Wireshape Faucet and the Floripa Testnet.

Wireshape Faucet: Developers can obtain Testnet WIRE tokens through the Wireshape Faucet, facilitating the testing of dApps and smart contracts without the need to spend real cryptocurrency. This is especially useful for simulating transactions, smart contract interactions, and testing dApp functionalities in a controlled environment.

Wireshape Floripa Testnet: Named Floripa, the Wireshape testnet offers a sandbox environment for developers to deploy and test their applications before moving to the production environment. Floripa allows developers to experience and rectify any potential issues, ensuring a smooth transition to the Wireshape mainnet.
