What is SmartContractX?
SmartContractX is a web3 developer tool that enables you to deploy your contract, interact with predeployed contracts, and generate a mindmap for functions within the contract.
Guide on How to Use SmartContractX
1. MindMap
This feature allows you to generate a mindmap of a contract deployed on the Mumbai testnet, provided it has been verified on the explorer. To use it, navigate to the mindmap tab, enter the contract address you want to map, and click "view" to generate the mindmap.
2. Smart Contract Explorer
This feature enables interaction with the read and write functions of contracts deployed on the Mumbai testnet. Go to the smart contract explorer, paste the contract address, and click "fetch contract" to retrieve the functions as shown below.
To interact with a function, click on it. This will create an API endpoint for that function, as illustrated below.
3. Deploy
This feature allows you to deploy contracts to the Sepolia and Mumbai testnets. Simply paste your smart contract code, select the network, and click "deploy."
How BuildBear Facilitated the Development of SmartContractX
BuildBear played a pivotal role in the conceptualization and development of SmartContractX. As a blockchain developer, I extensively leveraged BuildBear's innovative features, such as:
Mainnet State Forking: BuildBear offers the capability to fork Mainnets, enabling the rapid spin-up of Testnets within seconds.
BuildBear Faucet: This feature provides immediate access to both native and widely-used ERC20 tokens on Testnets via the BuildBear Faucet.
Enhanced Transaction Speed: BuildBear boasts transaction processing that is four times faster than public Testnets, significantly reducing the runtime of contract test scripts and accelerating iterative development.
Inspired by my experience with their platform, I aspired to create a similar yet enhanced platform. This envisioned platform would incorporate additional features and simplified execution processes, mirroring the efficiency and user-friendliness of BuildBear. The goal is to create a tool that aids web3 developers in their blockchain development endeavors.
