Nodes Supporting Contracts

Local Development Nodes​

Swanky Node​

Swanky Node is a local development node tracking the Shiden network.

Swanky Node is the best choice if you would like to develop your contract & test it in your local environment, prior to deploying it on Astar/Shiden mainnet.

Features:

  • Consensus: instant-seal and manual-seal
  • dApp staking enabled
  • Chain Extensions

You can find the Github repo here.

Substrate Contract Node​

Substrate contract node targets Substrate master. It is the best choice if you would like to try the latest (or unstable) features of ink! and/or pallet-contracts.

Features:

  • Targets the latest Substrate master
  • Consensus: instant-seal

The Github repository can be found here.

Testnet Node: Shibuya​

Shibuya has nearly the same chain specifications as Shiden & Astar mainnets, and provides an ideal environment for developers to test and debug their smart contracts, prior to launching their dApp on mainnet.

Shibuya's pallet-contracts has unstable-feature so you can use features from ink! that are flagged unstable in pallet-contracts.

To get the latest information and test tokens from the Faucet, consult Shibuya's official docs.

Mainnet Node: Shiden​

Wasm contracts are live on Shiden. You can interact with them in the same way as you would on Shibuya.

Mainnet Node: Astar​

Wasm contracts are live on Astar.
