⚡ Quick Testnet Deployment

3 Steps to Test v5-ultra (5 minutes)

1. Get Free Testnet STX (2 minutes)

# Visit faucet
open "https://explorer.hiro.so/sandbox/faucet?chain=testnet"

# Enter your testnet address, click "Request STX"
# You'll get 500 testnet STX (free!)

2. Configure Testnet Wallet (1 minute)

# Edit Testnet.toml
nano settings/Testnet.toml

# Replace mnemonic with your testnet wallet's mnemonic
# Save and exit (Ctrl+X, Y, Enter)

3. Deploy to Testnet (2-10 minutes)

cd /Users/macosbigsur/Documents/Code/Stacks-project/SprintFund/sprintfund
clarinet deployments apply -p deployments/v5-ultra.testnet-plan.yaml

Then What?

✅ If It Works

  • Test the functions
  • Deploy same contract to mainnet
  • Launch! 🚀

❌ If It Fails

  • We know the workaround doesn't work
  • Deploy v4-minimal to mainnet instead (guaranteed to work)
  • Launch with 10 STX min-stake for now

Why This is Smart

  • Cost: FREE (vs 0.8 STX on mainnet)
  • Risk: ZERO (it's testnet!)
  • Savings: 2.4+ STX if multiple attempts needed

Already spent: 3.2 STX on failed mainnet deployments
Testing first: Save your remaining STX!

Need Testnet Wallet?

Option 1: Hiro Wallet (Recommended)

  1. Install Hiro Wallet extension
  2. Create new account or use existing
  3. Switch to Testnet mode (Settings → Network → Testnet)
  4. Copy your testnet address
  5. Get STX from faucet

Option 2: Generate with Clarinet

# Clarinet can generate a testnet wallet
clarinet integrate

Quick Verify

After deployment, check if it worked:

# Check contract exists
curl "https://api.testnet.hiro.so/v2/contracts/interface/ST1W6XQZ6XVYGTVW32SJW2ZG48ZJBW9BATRD19N60/sprintfund-core-v5-ultra" | grep -q "sprintfund" && echo "✅ DEPLOYED!" || echo "❌ Failed"
