const contract = await Contract.deploy(wallet, MyContractArtifact, [...constructorArgs])
.send()
.deployed();
console.log(`Contract deployed at ${contract.address}`);
import { Contract } from '@aztec/aztec.js';
const contract = await Contract.at(contractAddress, MyContractArtifact, wallet);
const tx = await contract.methods.transfer(amount, recipientAddress).send().wait();
console.log(`Transferred ${amount} to ${recipientAddress} on block ${tx.blockNumber}`);
import { Contract } from '@aztec/aztec.js';
const contract = await Contract.at(contractAddress, MyContractArtifact, wallet);
const balance = await contract.methods.get_balance(wallet.getAddress()).simulate();
console.log(`Account balance is ${balance}`);
