What’s a Tenderly project (project slug)?

Project slugs are unique identifiers for each project you create with Tenderly. It’s automatically created from the project’s name by converting it to lowercase and replacing spaces with hyphens. The SDK uses project slugs to reference and manage projects when interacting with the Tenderly API. Guides

​
What’s a Tenderly account (username and organization slug)?

An account represents a user or an organization on Tenderly. Each account has a unique username (for individual users) or organization slug (for organizations). The SDK uses these identifiers to specify the owner of a project, wallet, or contract when making requests to the Tenderly API. Guides

​
What’s the difference between a wallet and a contract?

A wallet is a user-controlled account that stores and manages digital assets like cryptocurrencies. Wallets can initiate transactions, interact with smart contracts, and receive assets. A contract is a smart contract deployed on the blockchain. It contains code that executes automatically when certain conditions are met or when a transaction invokes it. While wallets are primarily used to manage assets, smart contracts are used to define the rules and logic of dapps and can interact with other contracts or wallets.

​
What’s a simulation?

A simulation is a way to test transactions, interactions, and contract executions in a controlled environment without actually executing them on-chain. By simulating transactions, you can test and validate smart contract bug fixes or code updates, replay failed transactions to identify the cause of a problem, and preview the expected outcomes. The Tenderly SDK provides utilities for simulating individual transactions and bundled transactions from code via the API. To learn more about how Tenderly’s Simulation API works, check out the Simulation API documentation page.

Usage

SDK usage is counted against your account’s request capacity, just like direct API or RPC calls. To discuss capacity, contact our sales team.
