Deploying a Smart Contract on Hedera Hashgraph Network Using java

Hedera Hashgraph is a different type of distributed ledger technology that uses DAG (Directed Acyclic Graph). DAG is already being used in machine learning, compilers, and statistics. In this case, the data is not stored in blocks but is distributed by events. DAG system is also used to solve the Byzantine General Problems. As a rule, each project developing a distributed registry has its own way of synchronizing nodes, i.e their own consensus algorithm.

Hashgraph Consensus Algorithm

Each validator collects its transactions, randomly chooses the other participant, and transfers the information about the transactions to the participant, as well as the information that the other nodes have informed when they connected to him.

The functionality is very simple: the validator “listens”, receives all messages that are coming to him, and afterward, randomly chooses the other participant and sends him all the transactions along with his own. Hashgraph guarantees that with the final number of steps (rounds of protocol’s work), all nodes reach the same state. The protocol works fast enough and is easily scalable. In the network, there is no leader. As long as 2/3 honest nodes remain, the protocol secures the high level of safeness. For nodes to be synchronized and to achieve the agreement between them, there is also an exchange process going between the other participants of the network randomly.

Registration (KYC)

First, you need to register on the portal and pass the identity proof. It is important, registration at the portal is possible as part of the testing phase. Here are instructions for registration and completing the KYC process.

Network selection

First of all, you have to choose the network so that the smart contract functionality is available at the moment only in the testnet. So, let’s choose the testnet.

Network selection

Network access

The portal will request that you provide an access code to the network, which can be received via e-mail, by leaving the request at the website.

Enter the code, and Hedera will return the following information:

Network access

This data will be needed in the future.

Network access

Public and private keys

First of all, you have to add a dependency in your pom.xml file given below:

<dependency>
   <groupId>com.hedera.hashgraph</groupId>
   <artifactId>sdk</artifactId>
   <version>0.7.0</version>
</dependency>

To generate public and private keys, you have to write the code in Java which is given below:

Ed25519PrivateKey newKey = Ed25519PrivateKey.generate();
Ed25519PublicKey newPublicKey = newKey.getPublicKey();
 network

Deploying the smart contract on Hedera Hashgraph network

To deploy the smart contract on Hedera Hashgraph testnet, you have to compile your solidity code and get the bin file of that smart contract and your bin file containing some byte code. You can get bin file of your smart contract with the use of command and the example of byte code which is given below:-

solc SimpleToken.sol --allow-paths "." --bin --abi --optimize -o /home/suraj/Downloads/hedera1/

Byte code: 302e020100300506032b657004220420d396c78d1d4c31a9f3f5c16eb81eb542803c89beddf30e1e1a583dd2db433704
