Overview

The Hiero JavaScript SDK lets you build and test applications on the Hiero network using JavaScript or TypeScript. This guide walks you through launching a local Solo network, creating a funded test account, connecting the SDK, and running example scripts to submit your first transaction.

Prerequisites

Before proceeding, ensure you have completed the following:

System Readiness:
- Your local environment meets all hardware and software requirements, including Docker, kubectl, and Solo.

Using Solo with EVM Tools

Overview

Hiero is EVM-compatible. The Hiero JSON-RPC relay exposes a standard Ethereum JSON-RPC interface on your local Solo network, letting you use familiar EVM tools without modification.

This guide walks you through:

Launching a Solo network with the JSON-RPC relay enabled.
Retrieving ECDSA accounts for EVM tooling.
Creating and configuring a Hardhat project against the relay.
Deploying and interacting with a Solidity contract.
Verifying transactions via the Explorer and Mirror Node.
Configuring ethers.js and MetaMask.

Using Network Load Generator with Solo

The Network Load Generator (NLG) is a benchmarking tool that stress tests Hiero networks by generating configurable transaction loads. Use it to validate the performance and stability of your Solo network before deploying to production or running integration tests.

Prerequisites

Before proceeding, ensure you have completed the following:

System Readiness — your local environment meets all hardware and software requirements.
Quickstart — you have a running Solo network and are familiar with the basic Solo workflow.

Step 1: Start a Load Test

Use the rapid-fire load start command to install the NLG Helm chart and begin a load test against your deployment.
