thirdweb
thirdweb is a complete web3 development framework that provides everything you need to connect your apps and games to decentralized networks.
Create a smart contract​
To create a new smart contract using thirdweb CLI, follow these steps:
-
In your CLI run the following command:
npx thirdweb create contract
-
Input your preferences for the command line prompts:
- Give your project a name
- Choose your preferred framework: Hardhat or Foundry
- Name your smart contract
- Choose the type of base contract: Empty, ERC-20, ERC-721, or ERC-1155
- Add any desired extensions
-
Once created, navigate to your project’s directory and open in your preferred code editor.
-
If you open the
contracts
folder, you will find your smart contract; this is your smart contract written in Solidity.The following is code for an
ERC721Base
contract without specified extensions. It implements all of the logic inside the ERC721Base.sol contract; which implements the ERC-721A standard.// SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT
pragma solidity ^0.8.0;
import "@thirdweb-dev/contracts/base/ERC721Base.sol";
contract Contract is ERC721Base {
constructor(
string memory _name,
string memory _symbol,
address _royaltyRecipient,
uint128 _royaltyBps
) ERC721Base(_name, _symbol, _royaltyRecipient, _royaltyBps) {}
}This contract inherits the functionality of
ERC721Base
through the following steps:- Importing the
ERC721Base
contract - Inheriting the contract by declaring that our contract is an
ERC721Base
contract - Implementing any required methods, such as the constructor.
- Importing the
-
After modifying your contract with your desired custom logic, you may deploy it to the Linea testnet using
deploy
.
Alternatively, you can deploy a prebuilt contract for NFTs, tokens, or marketplace directly from the thirdweb Explore page:
- Navigate to the thirdweb Explore page: https://thirdweb.com/explore
- Choose the type of contract you want to deploy from the available options: NFTs, tokens, marketplace, and more.
- Follow the on-screen prompts to configure and deploy your contract.
For more information on different contracts available on Explore, check out thirdweb’s documentation.
Deploy a smart contract​
Deploy allows you to deploy a smart contract to any EVM-compatible network without configuring RPC URLs, exposing your private keys, writing scripts, and other additional setup such as verifying your contract.
-
To deploy your smart contract using
deploy
, navigate to the root directory of your project and execute the following command:npx thirdweb deploy
Executing this command will trigger the following actions:
- Compiling all the contracts in the current directory.
- Providing the option to select which contract(s) you wish to deploy.
- Uploading your contract source code (ABI) to IPFS.
-
When this process is completed, a dashboard interface will open, where you will need to finish filling out the parameters:
_name
: contract name_symbol
: symbol or "ticker"_royaltyRecipient
: wallet address to receive royalties from secondary sales_royaltyBps
: basis points (bps) that will be given to the royalty recipient for each secondary sale, e.g. 500 = 5%
-
Select Linea testnet as the network
-
Manage additional settings on your contract’s dashboard as needed, such as uploading NFTs, configuring permissions, and more.

deploy
, please reference thirdweb’s documentation.
