# Deploy an example smart contract

This guide is for individual users with some technical skills who want to deploy a simple \`Storage\` smart contract on Humanode network.

You should have:

* `0xAddress...` - your ETH address that is imported into a ETH supported wallet connected to Humanode Israfel Testnet. In this case, it's **Humanode Testnet 5** with the following rpc url: `https://explorer-rpc-ws.testnet5.stages.humanode.io`.

### Tools

* Environment to deploy ETH smart contracts like [Remix IDE](https://remix.ethereum.org/)
* Ethereum supported wallet like [Metamask](https://metamask.io)

### Steps

1. Open the Remix IDE and choose default `Storage.sol` contract.

2. Go to the `Compile` tab and compile the contract.

3. Go to the `Deploy` tab and deploy the contract with injected metamask wallet connected to the Humanode network.

4. Check `Deployed Contracts` tab. You should be able to see a `store` call and `retrieve` read method.

5. Let's check the deployed contract by storing a value of 10. Input the value and click on `transact` tab.

5. Now click on `retrieve` tab and verify that the stored value in smart contract is 10.
