# Using Remix to Deploy Smart Contracts
This tutorial will guide you through deploying a smart contract on Status Network testnet using the Remix IDE. Remix is a browser-based IDE that's perfect for quick development and testing.
## Prerequisites
Before you begin, ensure you have:
- **Web Browser**: A modern web browser like Chrome or Firefox
- **MetaMask**: Install the [MetaMask](https://metamask.io) browser extension
- **Testnet ETH**: You'll need Status Network testnet ETH
- Get Status Network testnet ETH from our [Faucet](/tools/testnet-faucets)
- **Network Configuration**: Add Status Network testnet to MetaMask following our [Add Network guide](/general-info/add-status-network)
## Steps
### 1. Open Remix IDE
Visit [remix.ethereum.org](https://remix.ethereum.org) in your browser.
### 2. Create a New File
1. Click the "File Explorer" icon (first icon on the left sidebar)
2. Click the "+" button to create a new file
3. Name it `HelloWorld.sol`
### 3. Write the Smart Contract
Copy and paste the following code into `HelloWorld.sol`:
```solidity
// SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT
pragma solidity ^0.8.24;
contract HelloWorld {
string public greet = "Hello, Status Network!";
function setGreet(string memory _greet) public {
greet = _greet;
}
function getGreet() public view returns (string memory) {
return greet;
}
}
```
### 4. Compile the Contract
1. Click the "Solidity Compiler" icon (second icon on the left sidebar)
2. Select compiler version "0.8.24"
3. Click "Compile HelloWorld.sol"
4. Ensure compilation succeeds (you'll see a green checkmark)
### 5. Deploy the Contract
1. Click the "Deploy & Run Transactions" icon (fourth icon on the left sidebar)
2. In the "Environment" dropdown, select "Injected Provider - MetaMask"
3. MetaMask will prompt you to connect - ensure Status Network testnet is selected
4. Click "Deploy"
5. Confirm the transaction in MetaMask
6. Wait for the transaction to be confirmed
### 6. Interact with Your Contract
Once deployed, you'll see your contract under "Deployed Contracts":
1. Expand the contract interface
2. You can:
- Click "greet" to read the current greeting
- Enter a new greeting in the "setGreet" field and click the button to update it
- Click "getGreet" to read the greeting again
## Troubleshooting
### Common Issues
1. **Transaction Failed**
- Check that you're connected to Status Network testnet
2. **Contract Not Found**
- Wait a few minutes for the explorer to index your contract
- Double-check the contract address
3. **Compilation Errors**
- Verify the compiler version matches the pragma statement
- Check for any syntax errors highlighted in Remix
