Complete Guide to Directly Interacting with Ethereum Smart Contracts Using Blockchain Explorer

A tutorial on directly interacting with smart contracts using the Ethereum blockchain explorer

This article will introduce how to directly interact with smart contracts using the Ethereum blockchain explorer Etherscan, without relying on any decentralized application (DAPP). This method allows users to operate more securely in an unfamiliar software environment.

Preparation Work

Before you begin, please ensure that you have:

  1. Installed a scientific internet access tool
  2. Installed the MetaMask browser extension wallet

Operating Steps

1. Scientific Internet Access

First, start your scientific Internet access tool. When you can smoothly access Google search, it indicates that the scientific Internet access has successfully connected.

2. Target Smart Contracts

Open the Etherscan blockchain explorer and find the smart contract address you want to interact with. This tutorial uses the NEST 3.0 version of the QP Token deposit contract as an example to demonstrate how to retrieve QP Token.

3. Connect Web3 Wallet

On the contract page:

  • Click on the "Contracts" tab
  • Select "Write Contract"
  • Click the "Connect to Web3" button
  • Choose and connect your MetaMask wallet

4. Find the target method

Scroll through the contract interface to find the method you need to call. In this example, we will use the "takeOut" method to retrieve the tokens.

5. Interact with smart contracts

Under the "takeOut" method:

  1. First input box: Enter the amount of QP Token to be withdrawn. You need to add 18 zeros after the amount. For example:

    • Withdraw 100 tokens: Enter 100000000000000000000
    • Withdraw 10000: Enter 10000000000000000000000
  2. Second input box: Enter the token contract address to be withdrawn. For example:

    • NEST Token: 0x04abeda201850ac0124161f037efd70c74ddc74c
    • NYFI: 0x075190c6130ea0a3a7e40802f1d77f4ea8f38fe2
    • NHBTC: 0x1f832091faf289ed4f50fe7418cfbd2611225d46
  3. Click the "Write" button to initiate the transaction.

  4. Click "View your transaction" to check the transaction status and wait for the transaction to be confirmed.

By this method, you can securely interact directly with Ethereum smart contracts without using any third-party DAPPs or importing private keys into unfamiliar software. This approach increases the security of operations while also providing users with a deeper understanding of blockchain interactions.

Please note that before performing any operations, it is essential to carefully verify the contract address and input parameters to ensure the accuracy and security of the transaction. If you are uncertain about certain steps, it is recommended to try them on a test network first or seek the assistance of experienced blockchain professionals.

Validating contracts is so troublesome, there should have been a simpler method by now.

This tutorial is too basic; who still doesn't know how to use an ETH browser in 2019?
