# Deploy a Solidity smart contract on ParaState’s testnet

As example we will use ERC-20 smart contract (any other Ethereum smart contracts can be deployed, ex.: ERC-721or etc.)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What we need:
-------------

1.  Use the online BUIDL IDE created by Second State to create, deploy and test Solidity smart contracts:
    

[http://buidl.secondstate.io/parastate](http://buidl.secondstate.io/parastate)

2\. Add a test network to Metamask:

[https://rpc.parastate.io:8545/](https://rpc.parastate.io:8545/)

Get some Testnet STATE tokens from the Official ParaState Faucet: [http://faucet.parastate.io](http://faucet.parastate.io/)

**Process:**
------------

1.  Open [http://buidl.secondstate.io/parastate](http://buidl.secondstate.io/parastate) and **import** owner Metamask Account from Private Key:
    

2\. Create your smart contract and review it:

3\. **Compile** it and then **Deploy to the chain**:

You will get success Tx in the LOG tab

4\. **Call** function variables: name, decimals, owner and symbol:

5\. Copy owner address to balanceOf and **Call:**

6\. Then copy the address of Metamask account to where you gonna transfer new created tokens and set the value, then **Transact**:

Once Tx is confirmed you will get Success)

Final. Copy contract address of new generated token and check if tokens has arrived to address you sent:

Happy coding! :)
