stx_deployContract

Requests the connected wallet to sign and broadcast a Clarity smart contract deployment transaction.

---

Usage

import { request } from '@stacks/connect';

const result = await request('stx_deployContract', {
  name: 'my-contract',
  clarityCode: `
    (define-public (say-hello)
      (ok "hello world"))
  `,
  clarityVersion: 3,
  network: 'mainnet',
});

console.log('Transaction ID:', result.txid);

Notes

• The name is the contract name that will be used in the contract identifier (e.g. if your address is SP2... and name is my-contract, the full identifier becomes SP2....my-contract).
• If clarityVersion is not specified, wallets typically default to the latest supported Clarity version.
