Connect to Infura¶

Truffle for VSCode allows users to create a new instance, or connect to an existing instance, of the Infura service directly from VSCode. This enables developers to reduce time moving between portal and IDE.

If you don't have an existing Infura service deployed, you can create one in any account you have access to.

1. Create a new Infura service by doing one of the following:
2. In the command palette, select Truffle: Create a new network.
3. Use the ellipsis menu in the Truffle - Networks view.
4. Use the shortcuts in the Truffle - Networks view.
5. A prompt displays to log in to the Infura service, if you haven't already.
6. Enter the project name.
7. Enter the project visibility. The default is public.

Connect to existing Infura projects¶

1. Connect to an existing Infura account/project by doing one of the following:
