Setting the ConfigKey & ContractAddress

Learn how to set the ConfigKey, ContractAddress and register the Precompile.

ConfigKey

Just as with the MD5 precompile in the previous section, go to the module.go file and set a ConfigKey.

Contract Address

In the same file, set a ContractAddress. Choose one that has not been used by other precompiles of earlier sections.

Registration

Go to the plugin/main.go file and register the new precompile.
