Compiling smart contracts

Letzte Änderung: , Invalid DateTime

You need to compile your contract so that your web app and the Ethereum virtual machine (EVM) can understand it.

Prerequisites

You might find it helpful to have read our intro to smart contracts and the Ethereum virtual machine before reading about compilation.

The EVM

For the EVM to be able to run your contract it needs to be in bytecode. Compilation turns this:

1pragma solidity 0.4.24;
2
3contract Greeter {
4
5    function greet() public constant returns (string) {
6        return "Hello";
7    }
8
9}

Web applications

The compiler will also produce the Application Binary Interface (ABI) which you need in order for your application to understand the contract and call the contract's functions.

The ABI is a JSON file that describes the deployed contract and its smart contract functions. This helps bridge the gap between web2 and web3

A Javascript client library will read the ABI in order for you to call on your smart contract in your web app's interface.

Below is the ABI for the ERC-20 token contract. An ERC-20 is a token you can trade on Ethereum.
