deployContract

Deploys an Aleo program to the network.

Publishes program source; once the deployment is accepted, the program is callable through writeContract. Signs, proves, and broadcasts, so it hits the network and costs a fee that scales with program size. Returns as soon as the transaction is submitted — it does not wait for acceptance; poll transactionStatus for the outcome. Imports are not exposed as a parameter — the deployer auto-discovers them from the program source.

Usage​

import { createWalletClient, http } from '@provablehq/veil-core'
import { loadNetwork } from '@provablehq/veil-aleo-sdk'

const aleo = await loadNetwork('testnet')
const account = aleo.privateKeyToAccount('APrivateKey1...')

const client = createWalletClient({
  account,
  transport: http('https://edge.provable.com/api/v2', { network: 'testnet' }),
  proving: aleo.createProvingConfig({
    mode: 'delegated',
    networkUrl: 'https://edge.provable.com/api/v2',
    proverUrl: 'https://edge.provable.com/api/prove',
    account,
  }),
})

const txId = await client.deployContract({
  program: 'program hello.aleo; function main: ...',
})
// 'at1...'

Account type differences​

A wallet-adapter (RPC) account has the connected wallet build, prove, and broadcast the deployment, prompting the user. A local SDK account builds and proves through the client's proving config, then the transport broadcasts it. Either way the deployment fee comes out of the account.

Returns​

string

The transaction id (at1...) of the broadcast deployment.

Parameters​

program​

  • Type: string

Aleo program source (program X.aleo; ...).

privateFee​

  • Type: boolean
  • Default: false

Pays the deployment fee from a private record instead of the public credits balance. The fee record is resolved through the client's record provider; the caller does not supply one.
