# Smart Contract Interactions
The `iotx.Contract` class of Antenna makes it easy to interact with smart contracts on the IoTeX blockchain. When you create a new `Contract` object, just initialize it with the JSON interface (ABI) of the respective contract, and the Contract object will take care of converting all contract method calls into low-level ABI calls over RPC for you.

### Compiling Solidity Code
Antenna SDK does not compile solidity code itself; however you can get the ABI and bytecode of your contract in one of the following options:
* **Option 1**: in Node.js, import and use the [`solc`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/solc) node package, as in the following example:
```cpp
import solc from "solc";
const solidityFileString = `
pragma solidity ^0.4.16;
contract SimpleStorage {
uint storedData;
function set(uint x) public {
storedData = x;
}
function get() public view returns (uint) {
return storedData;
}
}
`;
const contractName = ":SimpleStorage";
const output = solc.compile(solidityFileString, 1);
const abi = JSON.parse(output.contracts[contractName].interface);
const bytecode = output.contracts[contractName].bytecode;
```
* **Option 2**: on the browser side, you can use [browser-solc ](https://www.npmjs.com/package/browser-solc)package. Check out this [example from iotex-explorer](https://github.com/iotexproject/iotex-explorer/blob/master/src/shared/wallet/contract/deploy.tsx#L114).
### Deploying a Smart Contract
Once you get the ABI and bytecode from the step above, then you can deploy it by sending the deploy action to the IoTeX blockchain network.

Once the action is broadcast, you can query it:
{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Javascript" %}
```cpp
const receipt = await antenna.iotx.getReceiptByAction({
actionHash: actionHash
});
```
{% endtab %}
{% tab title="Golang" %}
```go
action, err := wallet.Iotx.GetActions(&iotexapi.GetActionsRequest{
Lookup: &iotexapi.GetActionsRequest_ByHash{
ByHash: &iotexapi.GetActionByHashRequest{
ActionHash: actionHash,
CheckPending: true,
},
},
})
```
{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}
Finally, once the action is minted, you can query the receipt
{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Javascript" %}
```javascript
const receipt = await antenna.iotx.getReceiptByAction({
actionHash: actionHash
});
```
{% endtab %}
{% tab title="Golang" %}
```go
receipt, err := wallet.Iotx.GetReceiptByAction(&iotexapi.GetReceiptByActionRequest{
ActionHash: actionHash,
