Deployment

You can deploy your contracts on the Vince Chain Mainnet using the JSON-RPC function. Before launching on the mainnet, you can also test this functionality on the testnet. There are some factors to consider when deploying on the mainnet:

• Cost

• Security

• Contract Elasticity

• Documentation

Cost

Gas will be spent in the dApp development journey. You must put this into consideration to avoid steering away from your budget. An understanding of cost will give you a mental picture of the deplorable functions and those you may overlook.

Security

Badly written smart contracts can compromise the entire project. So it is important to test and audit smart contracts thoroughly before deploying them. You can perform this process on Vince Chain’s Testnet, where you check for errors or bugs, state transitions and access, and functionalities.

If the project is time-sensitive, you may employ the services of external auditors to help check for bugs or vulnerabilities that could pose a huge danger in the future. Ensure you implement security and contract ownership protocols to safeguard intellectual work and prevent unforeseen future infiltration. We recommend using multi-sig protocols to safeguard the contract.

Afterward, you can verify the dependency and security of the external libraries, stateful precompiles, and APIs used during the contract development, then optimize for deploying on the mainnet.

Contract Elasticity

We recommend making your contract elastic should you decide to upgrade it in the future. Making your contract elastic allows you to make changes or upgrade it without having to start all over again. This feature has been made possible with the latest smart contract update by EVM contracts.

Documentation

Documentation helps the community or governance team to make amends in the future. It provides the development and deployment process of the smart contract and helps to order the steps of future developers reviewing or working on the project.
