Deploying Contracts to Neo N3 TestNet

In this guide, you will learn how to deploy and update a smart contract on the Neo N3 TestNet. Deploying a contract to TestNet will make it available for testing and interaction with other developers, wallets, and explorers.

Requirements

You will need the following to deploy a contract to the Neo N3 TestNet:

The RPC URL of the network you want to deploy to (‘API endpoint’).
- For the Neo N3 TestNet, use the following URL: https://testnet1.neo.coz.io:443 or https://rpc.t5.n3.nspcc.ru:20331.
- You can find other RPC options in the Dora Network Monitor. Filter by ‘Network’ and select ‘TestNet’.
  - Give preference to HTTPS endpoints.
An account with $GAS to pay for the deployment.
A compiled smart contract file, in the form of a .nef file along with its manifest file (.manifest.json)

You can deploy a contract to the Neo once you meet all the above requirements. The following sections will guide you through the process.

Coin Contract Example
