Contracts on Paseo

Paseo is a testnet for Polkadot and Kusama parachains.

How can I use it?​

(1) Create an Account​

As a first step, you should create an account. This can be done via command-line tools (e.g. subxt) or via a wallet (e.g. with the polkadot-js browser extension). See here for a detailed guide.

(2) Get Testnet Tokens​

As a second step, you have to get PAS testnet tokens through the Paseo Faucet.

Alternatively, you can use the Matrix chat room. You must send a message like this:

!drip <PASEO_ADDRESS>

If everything worked out, the PAS tokens will show up in your account. In case you are using the polkadot-js frontend, you can see them under the "Accounts" tab for Paseo.

(3) Deploy Your Contract​

Once you have PAS on Paseo you can deploy by following the instructions in the Pop Docs here. The only difference is that instead of using the Alice account you will use the one you generated.
