+# Using the Mask
+
+This assumes you have already run through the sample in the [README](./README.md).
+And have an initialized account. You can use any connect method (sharing with cli,
+customize blockchain) if you want. We will show uploading mask and using it
+on the Demo Net.
+
+Start with `./bin/cosmwasm-cli --init examples/helpers.ts examples/mask.ts`
+(note the addition of `examples/mask.ts`)
+
+Ensure the account is set up:
+
+```ts
+// you can hand-copy a mnemonic here, but this is easiest for reuse between sessions
+// it creates a random one first time, then reads it in the future
+const mnemonic = loadOrCreateMnemonic("foo.key");
+const {address, client} = await connect(mnemonic, {});
+address
+client.getAccount();
+```
+
+We will use [mask v0.1.0](https://github.com/CosmWasm/cosmwasm-examples/tree/mask-0.1.0/mask),
+the hash is [defined here](https://github.com/CosmWasm/cosmwasm-examples/blob/mask-0.1.0/mask/hash.txt):
+`1f50bbff503fd9c7bfe713bbf42b309cf88ef299fa76e0242051c9a7e25649a3`. The following will check if
+it is already uploaded:
+
+```ts
+const hash = "1f50bbff503fd9c7bfe713bbf42b309cf88ef299fa76e0242051c9a7e25649a3"
+client.getCodes().then(codes => codes.filter(x => x.checksum === hash))
+```
+
+If it is not uploaded, we will upload it:
+
+```ts
+// Either download the code
+const wasmUrl = "https://github.com/CosmWasm/cosmwasm-examples/blob/mask-0.1.0/mask/contract.wasm?raw=true";
+const wasm = await downloadWasm(wasmUrl);
+
+// Or load from local file
+const wasmFile = ".../cosmwasm-examples/mask/contract.wasm"
+const wasm = fs.readFileSync(wasmFile);
+
+// Then upload it
+const up = await client.upload(wasm, { source: "https://crates.io/api/v1/crates/cw-mask/0.1.0/download", builder: "confio/cosmwasm-opt:0.7.3"});
+up
+up.logs[0].events[0]
+```
+
+Now, make an instance (as above):
+
+```ts
+// get the proper codeId
+const codes = await client.getCodes()
+const codeId = codes.filter(x => x.checksum === hash).map(x => x.id)[0]
+
+// instantiate one contract
+const maskResp = await client.instantiate(codeId, {}, "My Mask");
+const mask = maskResp.contractAddress;
+```
+
