Project Files

Before diving into coding your smart contract, the first crucial step is configuring the Settings.json file. This JSON-formatted file serves as a foundation where you input key details about your smart contract. Proper setup here will streamline your development and help avoid issues later. The structure of the file is straightforward, acting as a blueprint for your contract’s essential information, making the coding process smoother and faster. Here’s how the file is organized:

{
    "Version": "1.0.1",
    "Project_Name": "MyToken",
    "Symbol": "MTk",
    "Language": "JavaScript",
    "Blockchain": "0x8a20baa40c45dc5055aeb26197c203e576ef389d9acb171bd62da11dc5ad72b2",
    "Owner_Address": "Enter here the owner wallet address",
    "Developer_Name": "Enter here the developer Name",
    "Developer_Address": "Enter here the developer Address",
    "Dev_Private_Key": "Enter here the developer Private Key"
}

The following keys in Settings.json hold essential information for your smart contract:

Key Description	Value Description
Version	Identifies the contract version for deployment.
Project_Name	Sets the name of your smart contract project.
Symbol	Defines the ticker symbol for your digital asset.
Language	Specifies the programming language (JavaScript or Python).
Blockchain	Defaults to “Sandbox” for testing purposes.
Owner_Address	Contains the wallet address of the contract owner.
Developer_Name	Optional field for the developer’s name.
Developer_Address	The developer’s wallet address used for testing.
Dev_Private_Key	Private key for local development, kept secure.

These are the key fields required for setting up your smart contract, though additional fields can be added as needed.
