MetaMask
On node access details, click Add to MetaMask.Hardhat
Configure Hardhat to deploy contracts and interact through your Cronos nodes.- Install Hardhat and create a project.
-
Create a new environment in
hardhat.config.js
:where- YOUR_CHAINSTACK_ENDPOINT — your node HTTPS or WSS endpoint protected either with the key or password. See node access details.
- YOUR_PRIVATE_KEY — the private key of the account that you use to deploy the contract
-
Run
npx hardhat run scripts/deploy.js --network chainstack
and Hardhat will deploy using Chainstack.
Remix IDE
To make Remix IDE interact with the network through a Chainstack node:- Get MetaMask and set it to interact through a Chainstack node. See Interacting through MetaMask.
- In Remix IDE, navigate to the Deploy tab. Select Injected Provider - MetaMask in Environment.
