To debug your smart contract on the Aptos network, you will need to follow these steps:
-
Write your smart contract in Move: Move is a safe and expressive programming language for Web3 that allows you to create and manage digital assets, such as tokens, NFTs, and smart contracts. You can use the Aptos Move CLI to create and edit your Move files in a local directory. You can also use the Pontem Studio, an online IDE that lets you write and run Move code in your browser.
-
Compile your smart contract: Before you can deploy your smart contract on the Aptos network, you need to compile it into bytecode that can be executed by the Move VM. You can use the Aptos Move CLI to compile your Move files into a package that contains the bytecode and metadata. You can also use the Pontem Studio, which automatically compiles your code as you write it.
-
Deploy your smart contract: To deploy your smart contract on the Aptos network, you need to have an account with some Aptos coins. You can use the Aptos Faucet to get some free coins for testing purposes. You can then use the Aptos Move CLI or the Pontem Studio to publish your package on the network. You will need to specify the network (devnet or mainnet), the account address, and the private key.
-
Test your smart contract: Once your smart contract is deployed on the Aptos network, you can test its functionality and behavior by sending transactions that invoke its public functions. You can use the Aptos Move CLI or the Pontem Studio to create and send transactions to the network. You can also use the Aptos Explorer to view the transactions and their results.
