# Smart Contracts on GR1D Testnet

### Deploying Smart Contracts

Let’s get your smart contracts live on the GR1D Testnet. It’s straightforward if you’ve deployed on Ethereum before—same tooling, just a different network.

#### Step 1: Write Your Contracts

Make sure your Solidity version matches the one set in your Hardhat/Truffle config (I recommend `0.8.26`).

#### Step 2: Compile and Deploy

With Hardhat:

```bash
npx hardhat compile
```

```bash
npx hardhat run scripts/deploy.js --network gr1dTestnet
```

With Truffle:

```bash
truffle compile
```

```bash
truffle migrate --network gr1dTestnet
```

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.gr1d.network/build-with-gr1d/gr1d-chain-info/smart-contracts-on-gr1d-testnet.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
