Smart Contracts

Ganache is a local Ethereum "network" that you run on your machine for fast iterations while developing your app.

The most straighforward case for local development is to use Ocean Barge. It runs Ganache in addition to Aquarius and Provider.

Alternatively, you can run Ganache independently. Install it according to the Ganache docs. Then deploy Ocean contracts onto Ganache following docs in Ocean contracts repo.

Ganache is at the RPC URL http://localhost:8545.

To connect from Metamask: in Metamask, connect to the network called "Localhost 8545".
