Use Cases
Here are some potential use cases for the getContractMetadata
method:
-
Querying contract information: The
getContractMetadata
method can be used to retrieve general information about a smart contract, such as the contract’s name, version, and author. -
Verifying contract authenticity: The metadata of a smart contract can include a cryptographic hash of the source code used to compile the contract. By retrieving this hash through
getContractMetadata
, users can verify that the deployed contract matches the original source code. -
Automating contract interactions: Some smart contracts may include metadata that provides additional information about the contract’s functions and parameters. This information can be used to automatically generate code for interacting with the contract, which can save time and reduce errors.
