Creating a Smart Contract in Sui

Developing a smart contract on Sui involves several key steps. Below is an outline of the process using markdown syntax for better readability.

Step 1: Set Up the Environment

1. Install the necessary tools:

   • Rust SDK
   • Move CLI

   cargo install move-cli
   

2. Initialize a new Move project:

   move new sui_contract
   cd sui_contract
   

Step 2: Write Your Smart Contract

Create a new file named MyContract.move in the sources directory:

module MyContract {
    public fun say_hello(): string {
        "Hello from Sui Blockchain!"
    }
}

Step 3: Compile and Deploy Your Contract

Run the following command to compile your smart contract:

move compile

Deploy your contract using appropriate Sui CLI commands, ensuring to specify necessary parameters.

Step 4: Interact with Your Contract

Once deployed, you can call your contract's functions. For example, using Move CLI:

move call --module MyContract --function say_hello
