Description

Deploy a Clarity smart contract to the Stacks blockchain using Stacks.js

Use Cases

• Deploying new smart contracts to mainnet or testnet

• Automating contract deployments in CI/CD pipelines

• Programmatic contract deployment for dApp initialization

• Deploying contract upgrades or new versions

Key Concepts

• Contract name - Unique identifier for your contract (letters, numbers, hyphens)

• Code body - The Clarity contract code as a string

• Sender key - Private key of the account deploying the contract

• Network - Target network (mainnet, testnet, or devnet)
