Truffle Box (rsk-next-box)
RSK Next JS Box
This box comes with everything you need to start using smart contracts from a react app and Next JS on RSK Network.
Installation
First, ensure you are in a new and empty directory.
-
Run the
unbox
command vianpx
and skip to step 3. This will install all necessary dependencies. A Create-React-Next-App is generated in theapp
directory.npx truffle unbox rsksmart/rsk-next-box
-
Alternatively, you can install Truffle globally and run the
unbox
command.npm install -g truffle truffle unbox rsksmart/rsk-next-box
-
Install dependencies and run the development console.
yarn # alternatively `npm install` truffle develop
-
Compile and migrate the smart contracts. Note inside the development console we don't preface commands with
truffle
.compile migrate
-
In the
app
directory, we run the React app. Smart contract changes must be manually recompiled and migrated.// in another terminal (i.e. not in the truffle develop prompt) cd app yarn run dev # alternatively `npm start dev`
-
Truffle can run tests written in Solidity or JavaScript against your smart contracts. Note the command varies slightly if you're in or outside of the development console.
// inside the development console. test // outside the development console.. truffle test
RSK
Setup an account & get RBTC
- Get an address using these instructions.
- For the RSK Testnet, get tRBTC from our faucet.
- For the RSK Mainnet, get RBTC from an exchange.
Setup the gas price
Gas is the internal pricing for running a transaction or contract. When you send tokens, interact with a contract, send RBTC, or do anything else on the blockchain, you must pay for that computation. That payment is calculated as gas. In RSK, this is paid in RBTC. The minimumGasPrice is written in the block header by miners and establishes the minimum gas price that a transaction should have in order to be included in that block.
To get the minimumGasPrice do the following steps:
-
Run this query using cURL:
Mainnet
curl https://public-node.rsk.co/ \ -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ --data '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"eth_getBlockByNumber","params":["latest",false],"id":1}'
Testnet
curl https://public-node.testnet.rsk.co/ \ -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ --data '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"eth_getBlockByNumber","params":["latest",false],"id":1}'
-
Find in the result the field minimumGasPrice

Connect to RSK
-
Copy your mnemonic to
truffle-config.js
// truffle-config.json const HDWalletProvider = require('@truffle/hdwallet-provider'); //Put your mnemonic here, be careful not to deploy your mnemonic into production! const mnemonic = 'A_MNEMONIC';
Please be aware that we are using
HDWalletProvider
with RSK Networks derivations path:- RSK Mainnet dpath:
m/44’/137’/0’/0
- RSK Testnet dpath:
m/44’/37310’/0’/0
For more information check RSKIP57.
- RSK Mainnet dpath:
-
Check the gas price of the network, and update
truffle-config.js
if necessary. -
Check Express JS component. If you want to connect the server to RSK Network, update line 15 of
app/utils/web3-util.js
Mainnetconst provider = new Web3.providers.HttpProvider("https://public-node.rsk.co");
Testnet
const provider = new Web3.providers.HttpProvider("https://public-node.testnet.rsk.co");
-
Run the development console for any RSK network.
# Console for Mainnet truffle console --network mainnet # Console for Testnet truffle console --network testnet
-
Compile and migrate the smart contracts. Note that inside the development console, we don't preface commands with truffle.
compile migrate
Then continue from step 5 of installation steps
