MetaMask

​

Hardhat

1. Install Hardhat and create a project.
2. Create a new environment in hardhat.config.js:
   Javascript

   Copy

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

   where
   • YOUR_CHAINSTACK_ENDPOINT — your node HTTPS or WSS endpoint protected either with the key or password. See node access details.
   • YOUR_PRIVATE_KEY — the private key of the account that you use to deploy the contract
3. Run npx hardhat run scripts/deploy.js --network chainstack and Hardhat will deploy using Chainstack.

​

Remix IDE

1. Get MetaMask and set it to interact through a Chainstack node. See Interacting through MetaMask.
2. In Remix IDE, navigate to the Deploy tab. Select Injected Provider - MetaMask in Environment.

​

web3.js

1. Install web3.js.
2. Connect over HTTP or WebSocket.

​

HTTP

const Web3 = require('web3');  const web3 = new Web3(new Web3.providers.HttpProvider('YOUR_CHAINSTACK_ENDPOINT'));  web3.eth.getBlockNumber().then(console.log); 

​

WebSocket

const Web3 = require('web3');  const web3 = new Web3(new Web3.providers.WebsocketProvider('YOUR_CHAINSTACK_ENDPOINT'));  web3.eth.getBlockNumber().then(console.log); 

​

web3.py

1. Install web3.py.
2. Connect over HTTP or WebSocket. See also EVM node connection: HTTP vs WebSocket.

​

HTTP

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

• YOUR_CHAINSTACK_ENDPOINT — your node HTTPS endpoint protected either with the key or password
• HOSTNAME — your node HTTPS endpoint hostname
• USERNAME — your node access username (for password-protected endpoints)
• PASSWORD — your node access password (for password-protected endpoints)

​

WebSocket

from web3 import Web3  web3 = Web3(Web3.WebsocketProvider('YOUR_CHAINSTACK_ENDPOINT')) print(web3.eth.block_number) 

• YOUR_CHAINSTACK_ENDPOINT — your node WSS endpoint protected either with the key or password
• HOSTNAME — your node WSS endpoint hostname
• USERNAME — your node access username (for password-protected endpoints)
• PASSWORD — your node access password (for password-protected endpoints)

​

web3.php

1. Install web3.php.
2. Connect over HTTP:
   Php

   Copy

   <?php  require_once "vendor/autoload.php";  use Web3\Web3; use Web3\Providers\HttpProvider; use Web3\RequestManagers\HttpRequestManager;  $web3 = new Web3(new HttpProvider(new HttpRequestManager("YOUR_CHAINSTACK_ENDPOINT", 5))); ?> 

   where YOUR_CHAINSTACK_ENDPOINT is your node HTTPS endpoint protected either with the key or password
3. Use JSON-RPC methods to interact with the node. Example to get the latest block number:
   Php

   Copy

   <?php  require_once "vendor/autoload.php";  use Web3\Web3; use Web3\Providers\HttpProvider; use Web3\RequestManagers\HttpRequestManager;  $web3 = new Web3(new HttpProvider(new HttpRequestManager("YOUR_CHAINSTACK_ENDPOINT", 5)));  $eth = $web3->eth;  $eth->blockNumber(function ($err, $data) {  print "$data \n"; }); ?>

• ENDPOINT — your node HTTPS endpoint
• USERNAME — your node access username
• PASSWORD — your node access password

​

ethers.js

1. Install ethers.js.
2. Connect over HTTP or WebSocket. See also EVM node connection: HTTP vs WebSocket.

​

HTTP

const { ethers } = require("ethers");  var urlInfo = {  url: 'YOUR_CHAINSTACK_ENDPOINT' }; var provider = new ethers.providers.JsonRpcProvider(urlInfo, NETWORK_ID);  provider.getBlockNumber().then(console.log); 

• YOUR_CHAINSTACK_ENDPOINT — your node HTTPS endpoint protected either with the key or password
• USERNAME — your node access username (for password-protected endpoints)

   Copy

   brownie networks add Cronos ID name="NETWORK_NAME" host= YOUR_CHAINSTACK_ENDPOINT chainid=NETWORK_ID 

   where
   • ID — any name that you will use as the network tag to run a deployment. For example, chainstack-mainnet.
   • NETWORK_NAME — any name that you want to identify the network by in the list of networks. For example, Mainnet (Chainstack).
