How do I use smart contracts on the EOS blockchain?
Using smart contracts on the EOS blockchain is a relatively straightforward process.
First, you will need to create an account on the EOS blockchain. This can be done through a variety of methods, including registering with an exchange or using a wallet provider. Once you have created your account, you will need to purchase some EOS tokens in order to pay for transaction fees and other costs associated with running your smart contract.
Once you have acquired your tokens, you can begin creating and deploying your smart contract. To do this, you will need to write the code for your contract in either C++ or WebAssembly (WASM). Once the code is written, it must be compiled into a binary format that can be read by the EOS blockchain.
After compilation, the contract must be deployed onto the blockchain using an EOSIO command-line interface (CLI) tool such as cleos or eosiocpp. Once deployed, users can interact with your smart contract by sending transactions to it from their wallets or exchanges. These transactions are then processed by the EOS blockchain and any changes made to the state of the contract are recorded on-chain for all users to see.
This allows users to trustlessly interact with each other without having to rely on a third party intermediary.
