Developing Smart Contracts

Learn how to write, deploy, and interact with smart contracts on Kite Chain using industry-standard tools.

What You'll Build

This section walks you through creating smart contracts with practical examples:

• Setup Environment - Configure your development environment with necessary tools

• Counter Contract - Remix - Build a simple counter using Remix IDE

• Counter Contract - Hardhat - Build the same contract using Hardhat framework

• Voting Contract - Create a decentralized voting system

• Smart Contracts List - Pre-deployed contracts and libraries available on Kite

Development Tools

Kite Chain supports standard Ethereum development tools:

• Remix IDE - Browser-based development environment (no installation required)

• Hardhat - Professional development framework with testing and deployment

• Solidity - The primary smart contract programming language

Kite's Smart Contract Framework

Kite provides a modular, on-chain framework for building AI-driven applications:

• Creating and managing assets - Deploy and govern ML models, datasets, agents, and services

• Monetizing resources - Implement flexible fee distribution for data providers and creators

• Ensuring secure governance - Leverage role-based access control for transparent collaboration

• Streamlining operations - Use factories, registries, and job managers for orchestration

Learning Path

1. Start with Setup - Get your development environment ready

2. Try Remix - Quick start with browser-based development

3. Move to Hardhat - Professional workflows with testing and scripts

4. Build Real Projects - Create voting systems and explore pre-deployed contracts

Next Steps

After developing contracts:

• Build complete dApps with React frontends

• Explore Advanced Features like Account Abstraction

• Review Reference Documentation for production deployments
