Using Solo

Explore practical applications and integrations for Solo. This section covers using Solo networks with the JavaScript SDK, integrating with external tools, building applications on Hiero consensus nodes, and deploying locally built consensus node binaries for development and testing.

Using Solo with Hiero SDKs

Walk through submitting your first transaction to a local Solo network using the Hiero JavaScript, Java, or Go SDK.

Service Endpoints

Default service endpoints for a Solo one-shot deployment. Quick reference for the Hiero consensus gRPC address, Mirror Node REST URL, JSON-RPC Relay port, and Explorer URL — for both Solo 0.63+ and Solo 0.62 and earlier.

Accessing Solo Services

Learn how to locate and connect to ancillary services deployed alongside Solo networks, including Mirror Node Explorer, Block Nodes, and JSON-RPC Relay services.

Using Solo with EVM Tools

Point your existing Ethereum tooling (Hardhat, ethers.js, and MetaMask) at a local Hiero network via the Hiero JSON-RPC relay. This document covers enabling the relay, creating and configuring a Hardhat project, deploying a Solidity contract, and configuring wallets.

Using Network Load Generator with Solo

Learn how to run load tests against a Solo network using the Network Load Generator (NLG). Generate realistic transaction flows and stress-test your deployment to verify performance under load.

Deploying a Local Consensus Node Build

Test unreleased hiero-consensus-node changes end-to-end using Solo’s –local-build-path flag — no Docker image rebuild or registry push required.
