Install Wasm Bytecode

To use the Soroban CLI to install a compiled smart contract on the ledger, use the soroban contract install command:

soroban contract install \
    --source S... \
    --network testnet \
    --wasm ../relative/path/to/soroban_contract.wasm

note

Note this command will return the hash ID of the Wasm bytecode, rather than an address for a contract instance.

📄️ Deploy a Contract from Installed Wasm Bytecode

To deploy an instance of a compiled smart contract that has already been isntalled onto the Stellar network, use the soroban contract deploy command:

📄️ Deploy the Stellar Asset Contract for a Stellar Asset

The Soroban CLI can deploy a [Stellar Asset Contract] for a Stellar asset so that any Soroban contract can interact with the asset.

📄️ Extend a deployed contract instance's TTL

You can use the Soroban CLI to extend the TTL of a contract instance like so:

📄️ Extend a deployed contract's storage entry TTL

You can use the Soroban CLI to extend the TTL of a contract's persistent storage entry. For a storage entry that uses a simple Symbol as its storage key, you can run a command like so:

📄️ Extend a deployed contract's Wasm code TTL

You can use the Soroban CLI to extend the TTL of a contract's Wasm bytecode. This can be done in two forms

📄️ Install and Deploy a Smart Contract

You can combine the install and deploy commands of the Soroban CLI to accomplish both tasks:

📄️ Install Wasm Bytecode

To use the Soroban CLI to install a compiled smart contract on the ledger, use the soroban contract install command:

📄️ Restore an archived contract using the Soroban CLI

If your contract instance has been archived, it can easily be restored using the Soroban CLI.

📄️ Restore archived contract data using the Soroban CLI

If a contract's persistent storage entry has been archived, you can restore it using the Soroban CLI. For a storage entry that uses a simple Symbol as its storage key, you can run a command like so:
