# Deployment First create your platform via [etherscan](/v2-docs/protocol/platform-deployment.md) and copy the contract address once your platform has been deployed. Since the platform client is essentially a nextjs application you can use hosted services like [Vercel](https://vercel.com/) or [Netlify](https://www.netlify.com/) to deploy. We've set up this example to be deployed with Vercel. Click the '▲ Deploy' button below to clone your own version of the platform client. You will be prompted to fill a few variables as part of the deployment process. ### Required Variables `NEXT_PUBLIC_ALCHEMY_KEY` can be found by creating a new project in [Alchemy](https://dashboard.alchemyapi.io/) and then grabbing the API KEY from the project dashboard page and clicking the 'Get Key' button. `NEXT_PUBLIC_PLATFORM_NETWORK` will be the chain your platform exists on. ``` 1 = Ethereum mainnet 5 = Goerli ``` `NEXT_PUBLIC_PLATFORM_ADDRESS` will be your contract address `ARTIVA_COOKIE_PASSWORD` will be a password to keep login cookies secure for your users. Should be at least 32 characters long. ### Optional Variables `PINATA_API_JWT` required if pinata is being used as the IPFS adapter in `artiva-client-config.ts`. This is the JWT value for a [Pinata](https://www.pinata.cloud/) admin key. `NEXT_PUBLIC_ZORA_API_KEY` Zora API key used to increase rate limits for any Zora API calls. ### Deploy Deploy your platform client using the deploy link below [![Deploy with Vercel](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/5e471e99e8e022cf454693e38ec843036ec6301e27ee1e1fa10325b1cb720584/68747470733a2f2f76657263656c2e636f6d2f627574746f6e)](https://vercel.com/new/clone?repository-url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Fartiva-xyz%2Fplatform-client\&env=NEXT_PUBLIC_PLATFORM_ADDRESS,NEXT_PUBLIC_PLATFORM_NETWORK,NEXT_PUBLIC_ALCHEMY_KEY,ARTIVA_COOKIE_PASSWORD) --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
