viem TypeScript Ethereum Library¶

Introduction¶

viem is a modular TypeScript library that allows developers to interact with abstractions over the JSON-RPC API, making it easy to interact with Ethereum nodes. Since Tanssi-powered EVM networks have an Ethereum API available that is fully compatible with Ethereum-style JSON-RPC invocations, developers can leverage this compatibility to interact with any Tanssi EVM network. For more information on viem, check out their documentation site.

In this guide, you'll learn how to use viem to send a transaction and deploy a contract on the demo EVM network. This guide can be adapted for use with any Tanssi-powered EVM network.

Checking Prerequisites¶

For the examples in this guide, you will need to have the following:

• An account with funds in the Tanssi EVM network you are testing with

Installing viem¶

To get started, you'll need to create a basic TypeScript project. First, create a directory to store all of the files you'll be creating throughout this guide, and initialize the project with the following command:

mkdir viem-examples && cd viem-examples && npm init --y

For this guide, you'll need to install the viem library and the Solidity compiler. To install both packages, you can run the following command:

npm install typescript ts-node viem solc@0.8.0

yarn add typescript ts-node viem solc@0.8.0

You can create a TypeScript configuration file by running:

npx tsc --init

Set Up a viem Client (Provider)¶

Throughout this guide, you'll be creating a bunch of scripts that provide different functionality, such as sending a transaction, deploying a contract, and interacting with a deployed contract. In most of these scripts, you'll need to create a viem client to interact with the network.

You can create a viem client for reading chain data, like balances or contract data, using the createPublicClient function, or you can create a viem client for writing chain data, like sending transactions, using the createWalletClient function.

Creating a viem client to interact with your Tanssi EVM network is a two-step process. First, you'll need to import the defineChain function from viem. This will allow you to specify the details of your Tanssi EVM network (or any arbitrary EVM chain). You'll then need to provide all of the chain details, as shown in the next section.

For Reading Chain Data¶

To create a client for reading chain data, you can take the following steps:

1. Import the createPublicClient, http, and defineChainfunctions from viem
2. Define the chain details of your Tanssi EVM network, making sure to include all fields shown below. Both public and default RPC URLs are required to be listed, even if they are the same
3. Create the client using the createPublicClient function and pass in the network and the HTTP RPC endpoint

// 1. Import the necessary components from viem
import { createPublicClient, http, defineChain } from 'viem';

// 2. Specify the details of your EVM network
export const demoEVM = defineChain({
  id: 5678,
  name: 'demo',
  network: 'demo',
  nativeCurrency: {
    decimals: 18,
    name: 'TANGO',
    symbol: 'TANGO',
  },
  rpcUrls: {
    default: {
      http: ['https://fraa-dancebox-3001-rpc.a.dancebox.tanssi.network'],
      webSocket: ['wss://fraa-dancebox-3001-rpc.a.dancebox.tanssi.network'],
    },
    public: {
      http: ['https://fraa-dancebox-3001-rpc.a.dancebox.tanssi.network'],
      webSocket: ['wss://fraa-dancebox-3001-rpc.a.dancebox.tanssi.network'],
    },
  },
  blockExplorers: {
    default: {
      name: 'Explorer',
      url: 'https://fra-dancebox-3001-bs.a.dancebox.tanssi.network/',
    },
  },
});

// 3. Create a public client for reading chain data
const rpcUrl = 'https://fraa-dancebox-3001-rpc.a.dancebox.tanssi.network';
const publicClient = createPublicClient({
  chain: demoEVM,
  transport: http(rpcUrl),
});

For Writing Chain Data¶

To create a client for writing chain data, you can take the following steps:

1. Import the createWalletClient, http, and defineChain functions from viem, and the privateKeyToAccount function from viem/accounts
2. Define the chain details of your Tanssi EVM network, making sure to include all fields shown below. Both public and default RPC URLs are required to be listed, even if they are the same
3. Create your account using the privateKeyToAccount function
4. Create the client using the createWalletClient function and pass in the account, network, and the HTTP RPC endpoint

// 1. Import the necessary components from viem and viem/accounts
import { createWalletClient, http, defineChain } from 'viem';
import { privateKeyToAccount } from 'viem/accounts';

// 2. Specify the details of your EVM network
export const demoEVM = defineChain({
  id: 5678,
  name: 'demo',
  network: 'demo',
  nativeCurrency: {
    decimals: 18,
    name: 'TANGO',
    symbol: 'TANGO',
  },
  rpcUrls: {
    default: {
      http: ['https://fraa-dancebox-3001-rpc.a.dancebox.tanssi.network'],
      webSocket: ['wss://fraa-dancebox-3001-rpc.a.dancebox.tanssi.network'],
    },
    public: {
      http: ['https://fraa-dancebox-3001-rpc.a.dancebox.tanssi.network'],
      webSocket: ['wss://fraa-dancebox-3001-rpc.a.dancebox.tanssi.network'],
    },
  },
  blockExplorers: {
    default: {
      name: 'Explorer',
      url: 'https://fra-dancebox-3001-bs.a.dancebox.tanssi.network/',
    },
  },
});

// 3. Create your account using the privateKeyToAccount function
const account = privateKeyToAccount('INSERT_PRIVATE_KEY');
const rpcUrl = 'https://fraa-dancebox-3001-rpc.a.dancebox.tanssi.network';

//4. Create a wallet client for writing chain data
const walletClient = createWalletClient({
  account,
  chain: demoEVM,
  transport: http(rpcUrl),
});

const [account] = await window.ethereum.request({
  method: 'eth_requestAccounts',
});
const walletClient = createWalletClient({
  account,
  chain: demo,
  transport: custom(window.ethereum),
});

Send a Transaction¶

During this section, you'll be creating a couple of scripts. The first one will be to check the balances of your accounts before trying to send a transaction. The second script will actually send the transaction. You can also use the balance script to check the account balances after the transaction has been sent.

Check Balances Script¶

You'll only need one file to check the balances of both addresses before and after the transaction is sent. To get started, you can create a balances.ts file by running:

touch balances.ts

Next, you will create the script for this file and complete the following steps:

1. Update your imports to include the createPublicClient, http,formatEther, and defineChainfunctions from viem
2. Define the chain details of your Tanssi EVM network, making sure to include all fields shown below. Both public and default RPC URLs are required to be listed, even if they are the same
3. Set up a public viem client, which can be used for reading chain data, such as account balances
4. Define the addressFrom and addressTo variables
5. Create the asynchronous balances function that wraps the publicClient.getBalance method
6. Use the publicClient.getBalance function to fetch the balances for the addressFrom and addressTo addresses. You can also leverage the formatEther function to transform the balance into a more readable number (in TANGO for the demo EVM network)
7. Lastly, run the balances function

// 1. Import the necessary components from viem
import { createPublicClient, http, formatEther, defineChain } from 'viem';

// 2. Specify the details of your EVM network
export const demoEVM = defineChain({
  id: 5678,
  name: 'demo',
  network: 'demo',
  nativeCurrency: {
    decimals: 18,
    name: 'UNIT',
    symbol: 'UNIT',
  },
  rpcUrls: {
    default: {
      http: ['https://fraa-dancebox-3001-rpc.a.dancebox.tanssi.network'],
      webSocket: ['wss://fraa-dancebox-3001-rpc.a.dancebox.tanssi.network'],
    },
    public: {
      http: ['https://fraa-dancebox-3001-rpc.a.dancebox.tanssi.network'],
      webSocket: ['wss://fraa-dancebox-3001-rpc.a.dancebox.tanssi.network'],
    },
  },
  blockExplorers: {
    default: {
      name: 'Explorer',
      url: 'https://fra-dancebox-3001-bs.a.dancebox.tanssi.network/',
    },
  },
});

// 3. Create a public client for reading chain data
const rpcUrl = 'https://fraa-dancebox-3001-rpc.a.dancebox.tanssi.network';
const publicClient = createPublicClient({
  chain: demoEVM,
  transport: http(rpcUrl),
});

// 4. Create address variables
const addressFrom = 'INSERT_ADDRESS_FROM';
const addressTo = 'INSERT_ADDRESS_TO';

// 5. Create balances function
const balances = async () => {
  // 6. Fetch balances
  const balanceFrom = formatEther(
    await publicClient.getBalance({ address: addressFrom })
  );
  const balanceTo = formatEther(
    await publicClient.getBalance({ address: addressTo })
  );

  console.log(`The balance of ${addressFrom} is: ${balanceFrom} TANGO`);
  console.log(`The balance of ${addressTo} is: ${balanceTo} TANGO`);
};

// 7. Call the balances function
balances();

To run the script and fetch the account balances, you can run the following command:

npx ts-node balances.ts

If successful, the balances for the origin and receiving address will be displayed in your terminal in TANGO.

Send Transaction Script¶

You'll only need one file to execute a transaction between accounts. For this example, you'll be transferring 1 TANGO token from an origin address on the demo EVM network (from which you hold the private key) to another address. To get started, you can create a transaction.ts file by running:

touch transaction.ts

Next, you will create the script for this file and complete the following steps:

1. Update your imports to include createPublicClient, createWalletClient, http, parseEther, and defineChain functions from viem, as well as the privateKeyToAccount function from viem/accounts
2. Define the chain details of your Tanssi EVM network, making sure to include all fields shown below. Both public and default RPC URLs are required to be listed, even if they are the same
3. Set up a viem wallet client for writing chain data, which can be used along with your private key to send transactions. Note: This is for example purposes only. Never store your private keys in a TypeScript file
4. Set up a public viem client for reading chain data, which will be used to wait for the transaction receipt
5. Define the addressTo variable
6. Create the asynchronous send function, which wraps the transaction object and the walletClient.sendTransaction method
7. Use the walletClient.sendTransaction function to sign and send the transaction. You'll need to pass in the transaction object, which only requires the recipient's address and the amount to send. Note that parseEther can be used, which handles the necessary unit conversions from Ether to Wei, similar to using parseUnits(value, decimals). Use await to wait until the transaction is processed and the transaction hash is returned
8. Use the publicClient.waitForTransactionReceipt function to wait for the transaction receipt, signaling that the transaction has been completed. This is particularly helpful if you need the transaction receipt or if you're running the balances.ts script directly after this one to check if the balances have been updated as expected
9. Lastly, run the send function

// 1. Import the necessary components from viem and viem/accounts
import {
  createPublicClient,
  createWalletClient,
  http,
  parseEther,
  defineChain,
} from 'viem';
import { privateKeyToAccount } from 'viem/accounts';

// 2. Specify the details of your EVM network
export const demoEVM = defineChain({
  id: 5678,
  name: 'demo',
  network: 'demo',
  nativeCurrency: {
    decimals: 18,
    name: 'TANGO',
    symbol: 'TANGO',
  },
  rpcUrls: {
    default: {
      http: ['https://fraa-dancebox-3001-rpc.a.dancebox.tanssi.network'],
      webSocket: ['wss://fraa-dancebox-3001-rpc.a.dancebox.tanssi.network'],
    },
    public: {
      http: ['https://fraa-dancebox-3001-rpc.a.dancebox.tanssi.network'],
      webSocket: ['wss://fraa-dancebox-3001-rpc.a.dancebox.tanssi.network'],
    },
  },
  blockExplorers: {
    default: {
      name: 'Explorer',
      url: 'https://fra-dancebox-3001-bs.a.dancebox.tanssi.network/',
    },
  },
});

// 3. Create a wallet client for writing chain data
// The private key must be prepended with `0x` to avoid errors
const account = privateKeyToAccount('INSERT_PRIVATE_KEY');
const rpcUrl = 'https://fraa-dancebox-3001-rpc.a.dancebox.tanssi.network';
const walletClient = createWalletClient({
  account,
  chain: demoEVM,
  transport: http(rpcUrl),
});

// 4. Create a public client for reading chain data
const publicClient = createPublicClient({
  chain: demoEVM,
  transport: http(rpcUrl),
});

// 5. Create to address variable
const addressTo = 'INSERT_ADDRESS_TO';

// 6. Create send function
const send = async () => {
  console.log(
    `Attempting to send transaction from ${account.address} to ${addressTo}`
  );

  // 7. Sign and send transaction
  const hash = await walletClient.sendTransaction({
    to: addressTo,
    value: parseEther('1'),
  });

  // 8. Wait for the transaction receipt
  await publicClient.waitForTransactionReceipt({
    hash,
  });

  console.log(`Transaction successful with hash: ${hash}`);
};

// 9. Call the send function
send();

To run the script, you can run the following command in your terminal:

npx ts-node transaction.ts

If the transaction was successful, in your terminal, you'll see the transaction hash has been printed out. You can also use the balances.ts script to check that the balances for the origin and receiving accounts have changed. The entire workflow would look like this:

Deploy a Contract¶

The contract you'll be compiling and deploying in the next couple of sections is a simple incrementer contract, arbitrarily named Incrementer.sol. You can get started by creating a file for the contract:

touch Incrementer.sol

Next, you can add the Solidity code to the file:

// SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT

pragma solidity ^0.8.0;

contract Incrementer {
    uint256 public number;

    constructor(uint256 _initialNumber) {
        number = _initialNumber;
    }

    function increment(uint256 _value) public {
        number = number + _value;
    }

    function reset() public {
        number = 0;
    }
}

The constructor function, which runs when the contract is deployed, sets the initial value of the number variable stored on-chain (default is 0). The increment function adds the _value provided to the current number, but a transaction needs to be sent, which modifies the stored data. Lastly, the reset function resets the stored value to zero.

Compile Contract Script¶

In this section, you'll create a script that uses the Solidity compiler to output the bytecode and interface (ABI) for the Incrementer.sol contract. To get started, you can create a compile.ts file by running:

touch compile.ts

Next, you will create the script for this file and complete the following steps:

1. Import the fs and solc packages
2. Using the fs.readFileSync function, you'll read and save the file contents of Incrementer.sol to source
3. Build the input object for the Solidity compiler by specifying the language, sources, and settings to be used
4. Using the input object, you can compile the contract using solc.compile
5. Extract the compiled contract file and export it to be used in the deployment script

// 1. Import packages
const fs = require('fs');
const solc = require('solc');

// 2. Get path and load contract
const source = fs.readFileSync('Incrementer.sol', 'utf8');

// 3. Create input object
const input = {
  language: 'Solidity',
  sources: {
    'Incrementer.sol': {
      content: source,
    },
  },
  settings: {
    outputSelection: {
      '*': {
        '*': ['*'],
      },
    },
  },
};
// 4. Compile the contract
const tempFile = JSON.parse(solc.compile(JSON.stringify(input)));
const contractFile = tempFile.contracts['Incrementer.sol']['Incrementer'];

// 5. Export contract data
export default contractFile;

Deploy Contract Script¶

With the script for compiling the Incrementer.sol contract in place, you can then use the results to send a signed transaction that deploys it. To do so, you can create a file for the deployment script called deploy.ts:

touch deploy.ts

Next, you will create the script for this file and complete the following steps:

1. Update your imports to include the createPublicClient, createWalletClient, http, and defineChain functions from viem, the privateKeyToAccount function from viem/accounts, and the contractFile from the compile.ts file you created in the Compile Contract Script section
2. Define the chain details of your Tanssi EVM network, making sure to include all fields shown below. Both public and default RPC URLs are required to be listed, even if they are the same
3. Set up a viem wallet client for writing chain data, which will be used along with your private key to deploy the Incrementer contract. Note: This is for example purposes only. Never store your private keys in a TypeScript file
4. Set up a public viem client for reading chain data, which will be used to read the transaction receipt for the deployment
5. Load the contract bytecode and abi for the compiled contract
6. Create the asynchronous deploy function that will be used to deploy the contract via the walletClient.deployContract method
7. Use the walletClient.deployContract function to sign and send the transaction. You'll need to pass in the contract's ABI and bytecode, the account to deploy the transaction from, and the initial value for the incrementer. Use await to wait until the transaction is processed and the transaction hash is returned
8. Use the publicClient.readContract function to get the transaction receipt for the deployment. Use await to wait until the transaction is processed and the contract address is returned
9. Lastly, run the deploy function

// 1. Update import
import {
  createPublicClient,
  createWalletClient,
  http,
  defineChain,
} from 'viem';
import { privateKeyToAccount } from 'viem/accounts';
import contractFile from './compile';

// 2. Specify the details of your EVM network
export const demoEVM = defineChain({
  id: 5678,
  name: 'demo',
  network: 'demo',
  nativeCurrency: {
    decimals: 18,
    name: 'TANGO',
    symbol: 'TANGO',
  },
  rpcUrls: {
    default: {
      http: ['https://fraa-dancebox-3001-rpc.a.dancebox.tanssi.network'],
      webSocket: ['wss://fraa-dancebox-3001-rpc.a.dancebox.tanssi.network'],
    },
    public: {
      http: ['https://fraa-dancebox-3001-rpc.a.dancebox.tanssi.network'],
      webSocket: ['wss://fraa-dancebox-3001-rpc.a.dancebox.tanssi.network'],
    },
  },
  blockExplorers: {
    default: {
      name: 'Explorer',
      url: 'https://fra-dancebox-3001-bs.a.dancebox.tanssi.network/',
    },
  },
});

// 3. Create a wallet client for writing chain data
// The private key must be prepended with `0x` to avoid errors
const account = privateKeyToAccount('INSERT_PRIVATE_KEY');
const rpcUrl = 'https://fraa-dancebox-3001-rpc.a.dancebox.tanssi.network';
const walletClient = createWalletClient({
  account,
  chain: demoEVM,
  transport: http(rpcUrl),
});

// 4. Create a public client for reading chain data
const publicClient = createPublicClient({
  chain: demoEVM,
  transport: http(rpcUrl),
});

// 5. Load contract information
const bytecode = contractFile.evm.bytecode.object;
const abi = contractFile.abi;
const _initialNumber = 5;

// 6. Create deploy function
const deploy = async () => {
  console.log(`Attempting to deploy from account: ${account.address}`);

  // 7. Send transaction (initial value set to 5)
  const contract = await walletClient.deployContract({
    abi,
    account,
    bytecode,
    args: [_initialNumber],
  });

  // 8. Get the transaction receipt for the deployment
  const transaction = await publicClient.waitForTransactionReceipt({
    hash: contract,
  });

  console.log(`Contract deployed at address: ${transaction.contractAddress}`);
};

// 9. Call the deploy function
deploy();

To run the script, you can enter the following command into your terminal:

npx ts-node deploy.ts

If successful, the contract's address will be displayed in the terminal.

Read Contract Data (Call Methods)¶

Call methods are the type of interaction that doesn't modify the contract's storage (change variables), meaning no transaction needs to be sent. They simply read various storage variables of the deployed contract.

To get started, you can create a file and name it get.ts:

touch get.ts

Then you can take the following steps to create the script:

1. Update your imports to include the createPublicClient, http, and defineChain functions from viem, and the contractFile from the compile.ts file you created in the Compile Contract Script section
2. Define the chain details of your Tanssi EVM network, making sure to include all fields shown below. Both public and default RPC URLs are required to be listed, even if they are the same
3. Set up a public viem client for reading chain data, which will be used to read the current number of the Incrementer contract
4. Create the contractAddress variable using the address of the deployed contract and the abi variable using the contractFile from the compile.ts file
5. Create the asynchronous get function
6. Call the contract using the publicClient.readContract function, passing in the abi, the name of the function, the contractAddress, and any arguments (if needed). You can use await, which will return the value requested once the request promise resolves
7. Lastly, call the get function

// 1. Update import
import { createPublicClient, http, defineChain } from 'viem';
import contractFile from './compile';

// 2. Specify the details of your EVM network
export const demoEVM = defineChain({
  id: 5678,
  name: 'demo',
  network: 'demo',
  nativeCurrency: {
    decimals: 18,
    name: 'TANGO',
    symbol: 'TANGO',
  },
  rpcUrls: {
    default: {
      http: ['https://fraa-dancebox-3001-rpc.a.dancebox.tanssi.network'],
      webSocket: ['wss://fraa-dancebox-3001-rpc.a.dancebox.tanssi.network'],
    },
    public: {
      http: ['https://fraa-dancebox-3001-rpc.a.dancebox.tanssi.network'],
      webSocket: ['wss://fraa-dancebox-3001-rpc.a.dancebox.tanssi.network'],
    },
  },
  blockExplorers: {
    default: {
      name: 'Explorer',
      url: 'https://fra-dancebox-3001-bs.a.dancebox.tanssi.network/',
    },
  },
});

// 3. Create a public client for reading chain data
const rpcUrl = 'https://fraa-dancebox-3001-rpc.a.dancebox.tanssi.network';
const publicClient = createPublicClient({
  chain: demoEVM,
  transport: http(rpcUrl),
});
// 4. Create contract variables
const contractAddress = 'INSERT_CONTRACT_ADDRESS';
const abi = contractFile.abi;

// 5. Create get function
const get = async () => {
  console.log(`Making a call to contract at address: ${contractAddress}`);

  // 6. Call contract
  const data = await publicClient.readContract({
    abi,
    functionName: 'number',
    address: contractAddress,
    args: [],
  });

  console.log(`The current number stored is: ${data}`);
};

// 7. Call get function
get();

To run the script, you can enter the following command in your terminal:

npx ts-node get.ts

If successful, the value will be displayed in the terminal.

Interact with Contract (Send Methods)¶

Send methods are the type of interactions that modify the contract's storage (change variables), meaning a transaction needs to be signed and sent. In this section, you'll create two scripts: one to increment and one to reset the incrementer. To get started, you can create a file for each script and name them increment.ts and reset.ts:

touch increment.ts reset.ts

Open the increment.ts file and take the following steps to create the script:

1. Update your imports to include the createPublicClient, createWalletClient http, and defineChain functions from viem, the privateKeyToAccount from viem/accounts' and the contractFile from the compile.ts file you created in the Compile Contract Script section
2. Define the chain details of your Tanssi EVM network, making sure to include all fields shown below. Both public and default RPC URLs are required to be listed, even if they are the same
3. Set up a viem wallet client for writing chain data, which will be used along with your private key to send a transaction. Note: This is for example purposes only. Never store your private keys in a TypeScript file
4. Set up a public viem client for reading chain data, which will be used to wait for the transaction receipt
5. Create the contractAddress variable using the address of the deployed contract, the abi variable using the contractFile from the compile.ts file, and the _value to increment the contract by
6. Create the asynchronous increment function
7. Call the contract using the walletClient.writeContract function, passing in the abi, the name of the function, the contractAddress, and the _value. You can use await, which will return the transaction hash once the request promise resolves
8. Use the publicClient.waitForTransactionReceipt function to wait for the transaction receipt, signaling that the transaction has been completed. This is particularly helpful if you need the transaction receipt or if you're running the get.ts script directly after this one to check that the current number has been updated as expected
9. Lastly, call the increment function

// 1. Update import
import {
  createPublicClient,
  createWalletClient,
  http,
  defineChain,
} from 'viem';
import { privateKeyToAccount } from 'viem/accounts';
import contractFile from './compile';

// 2. Specify the details of your EVM network
export const demoEVM = defineChain({
  id: 5678,
  name: 'demo',
  network: 'demo',
  nativeCurrency: {
    decimals: 18,
    name: 'TANGO',
    symbol: 'TANGO',
  },
  rpcUrls: {
    default: {
      http: ['https://fraa-dancebox-3001-rpc.a.dancebox.tanssi.network'],
      webSocket: ['wss://fraa-dancebox-3001-rpc.a.dancebox.tanssi.network'],
    },
    public: {
      http: ['https://fraa-dancebox-3001-rpc.a.dancebox.tanssi.network'],
      webSocket: ['wss://fraa-dancebox-3001-rpc.a.dancebox.tanssi.network'],
    },
  },
  blockExplorers: {
    default: {
      name: 'Explorer',
      url: 'https://fra-dancebox-3001-bs.a.dancebox.tanssi.network/',
    },
  },
});

// 3. Create a wallet client for writing chain data
// The private key must be prepended with `0x` to avoid errors
const account = privateKeyToAccount('INSERT_PRIVATE_KEY');
const rpcUrl = 'https://fraa-dancebox-3001-rpc.a.dancebox.tanssi.network';
const walletClient = createWalletClient({
  account,
  chain: demoEVM,
  transport: http(rpcUrl),
});

// 4. Create a public client for reading chain data
const publicClient = createPublicClient({
  chain: demoEVM,
  transport: http(rpcUrl),
});

// 5. Create contract variables
const contractAddress = 'INSERT_CONTRACT_ADDRESS';
const abi = contractFile.abi;
const _value = 3;

// 6. Create increment function
const increment = async () => {
  console.log(
    `Calling the increment by ${_value} function in contract at address: ${contractAddress}`
  );
  // 7. Call contract
  const hash = await walletClient.writeContract({
    abi,
    functionName: 'increment',
    address: contractAddress,
    args: [_value],
  });

  // 8. Wait for the transaction receipt
  await publicClient.waitForTransactionReceipt({
    hash,
  });

  console.log(`Transaction successful with hash: ${hash}`);
};

// 9. Call increment function
increment();

To run the script, you can enter the following command in your terminal:

npx ts-node increment.ts

If successful, the transaction hash will be displayed in the terminal. You can use the get.ts script alongside the increment.ts script to make sure that value is changing as expected.

Next, you can open the reset.ts file and take the following steps to create the script:

1. Update your imports to include the createPublicClient, createWalletClient http, and defineChain functions from viem, the privateKeyToAccount from viem/accounts' and the contractFile from the compile.ts file you created in the Compile Contract Script section
2. Define the chain details of your Tanssi EVM network, making sure to include all fields shown below. Both public and default RPC URLs are required to be listed, even if they are the same
3. Set up a viem wallet client for writing chain data, which will be used along with your private key to send a transaction. Note: This is for example purposes only. Never store your private keys in a TypeScript file
4. Set up a public viem client for reading chain data, which will be used to wait for the transaction receipt
5. Create the contractAddress variable using the address of the deployed contract and the abi variable using the contractFile from the compile.ts file to increment the contract by
6. Create the asynchronous reset function
7. Call the contract using the walletClient.writeContract function, passing in the abi, the name of the function, the contractAddress, and an empty array for the arguments. You can use await, which will return the transaction hash once the request promise resolves
8. Use the publicClient.waitForTransactionReceipt function to wait for the transaction receipt, signaling that the transaction has been completed. This is particularly helpful if you need the transaction receipt or if you're running the get.ts script directly after this one to check that the current number has been reset to 0
9. Lastly, call the reset function

// 1. Update import
import {
  createPublicClient,
  createWalletClient,
  http,
  defineChain,
} from 'viem';
import { privateKeyToAccount } from 'viem/accounts';
import contractFile from './compile';

// 2. Specify the details of your EVM network
export const demoEVM = defineChain({
  id: 5678,
  name: 'demo',
  network: 'demo',
  nativeCurrency: {
    decimals: 18,
    name: 'TANGO',
    symbol: 'TANGO',
  },
  rpcUrls: {
    default: {
      http: ['https://fraa-dancebox-3001-rpc.a.dancebox.tanssi.network'],

// 5. Create contract variables
const contractAddress = 'INSERT_CONTRACT_ADDRESS';
const abi = contractFile.abi;

// 6. Create reset function
const reset = async () => {
  console.log(
    `Calling the reset function in contract at address: ${contractAddress}`
  );

  // 7. Call contract
  const hash = await walletClient.writeContract({

};

// 9. Call reset function
reset();
