# Deployers

At inception, a freshly created blockchain address will not contain any cryptocurrencies or other digital assets with which gas could be paid. Thus, for a smart contract to be deployed on a blockchain network, either a blockchain address that already possesses cryptocurrencies must be used, or cryptocurrencies must be sent to a freshly created blockchain address, and that freshly created blockchain address would be used to deploy the smart contract.

The requirement to pay gas for the deployment of a smart contract provides key information as to which blockchain address ultimately funded the deployment of a smart contract on a blockchain network, and allows for:

1. the identification of some of the owners or developers blockchain addresses associated with those smart contracts; and
2. proving that different smart contracts were actually developed by the same person or team.

## 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.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.chainargos.com/documentation/concept-glossary/deployers.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
