How (and where) to deploy your contracts ❓

Mainnet? Testnet? Subaccounts? Global Contracts? 💬
Too many builders get stuck on the basics.

🖥 In this quick guide, @denbite breaks it all down:
➕ When to use classic deployment vs Global Contracts
➕ How to save NEAR on storage when deploying at scale
➕ Immutable vs upgradable contracts — how to choose
➕ Real-world examples: DAO factories, NFT collections & more

If you’re deploying to more than 10 accounts, want central upgrades, or just want to stop paying for the same WASM over and over — Global Contracts are your friend. The most important thing is not to break the mainnet ☕️

Okay, okay, that's impossible (or not 😐)

Anyway, read, share your take, and hit subscribe 😁
