​

MetaMask

On node access details, click Add to MetaMask.

​

web3.py

Build DApps using web3.py and TRON nodes deployed with Chainstack.

​

HTTP

Use the HTTPProvider to connect to your node endpoint and get the latest block number.

from web3 import Web3

web3 = Web3(Web3.HTTPProvider('YOUR_CHAINSTACK_ENDPOINT'))
print(web3.eth.block_number)

where

• YOUR_CHAINSTACK_ENDPOINT — your node HTTPS endpoint protected either with the key or password

See also node access details.

​

TronWeb.js

See TronWeb.

Example of doing a getBalance call:

const { TronWeb } = require('tronweb');

const tronWeb = new TronWeb({
    fullHost: 'YOUR_CHAINSTACK_ENDPOINT'
});

const address = 'TWiEv2wfqQ8FkbAJ6bXt1uA2Uav9ZWvXip';

async function getBalance() {
    try {

        const balanceInSun = await tronWeb.trx.getBalance(address);

        const balanceInTRX = tronWeb.fromSun(balanceInSun);
        
        console.log(`Address: ${address}`);
        console.log(`Balance in SUN: ${balanceInSun}`);
        console.log(`Balance in TRX: ${balanceInTRX}`);
    } catch (error) {
        console.error('Error getting balance:', error);
    }
}

getBalance(); 

where

• YOUR_CHAINSTACK_ENDPOINT — your TRON node base endpoint without the /jsonrpc, /wallet, or /walletsolidity postfixes.

​

Hardhat

Configure Hardhat to deploy contracts and interact through your Klaytn nodes.

require("@nomiclabs/hardhat-waffle");
...
module.exports = {
  solidity: "0.7.3",
  networks: {
    chainstack: {
        url: "YOUR_CHAINSTACK_ENDPOINT",
        accounts: ["YOUR_PRIVATE_KEY"]
    },
  }
};

Remix IDE

To make Remix IDE interact with the network through a Chainstack node:

This will engage MetaMask and make Remix IDE interact with the network through a Chainstack node.

​

Foundry

​

Forge

Use forge to develop, test, and deploy your smart contracts.

To deploy a contract:

forge create CONTRACT_NAME --contracts CONTRACT_PATH --private-key YOUR_PRIVATE_KEY --rpc-url YOUR_CHAINSTACK_ENDPOINT

where

• CONTRACT_NAME — name of the contract in the Solidity source code
• CONTRACT_PATH — path to your smart contract
• YOUR_PRIVATE_KEY — the private key to your funded account that you will use to deploy the contract
• YOUR_CHAINSTACK_ENDPOINT — your node HTTPS endpoint protected either with the key or password

​

Cast

Use cast to interact with the network and the deployed contracts.

To get the latest block number:

cast block-number --rpc-url YOUR_CHAINSTACK_ENDPOINT

where YOUR_CHAINSTACK_ENDPOINT is your node HTTPS endpoint protected either with the key or password
