- Users can host their encrypted secrets within the DON. This hosting method is called DON-hosted. Read the secrets conceptual page to learn more.
- JavaScript source code can only use vanilla Deno. Read the JavaScript code API reference to learn more.
- Chainlink Functions contracts are part of the @chainlink/contracts npm package. Read the FunctionsClient and FunctionsRequest API references.
