Smart Contract Development | Building and Interacting with Smart Contracts on Rootstock
Smart Contract Development enables developers to harness the power of the Rootstock blockchain to create decentralized applications that are secure, transparent, and efficient.
What is Smart Contract Development?​
Smart Contract Development involves designing, deploying, and managing contracts that run on the blockchain. These contracts automate transactions, enforce agreements, and power dApps by removing intermediaries.
How Smart Contracts Work​
- Creation: Developers write the contract code using programming languages like
Solidity
, defining the rules and logic. - Deployment: The contract is deployed to the Rootstock blockchain, where it becomes immutable and accessible.
- Execution: Once deployed, smart contracts execute automatically when the predefined conditions are met, ensuring trust and transparency.

RSK-CLI
The rsk-cli tool or sdk enables users to manage wallets, check balances, send transactions, verify smart contracts and interact with smart contracts on the Rootstock blockchain - a Bitcoin sidechain designed for smart contracts. It supports both mainnet and testnet environments.
