Connect to your Node

You can use Ethereum's JSON-RPC or a JavaScript console: https://openethereum.github.io/wiki/Basic-Usage​

Smart contract development

You can use Remix connected to a local OpenEthereum full node for smart contracts development and deployment. Make sure that Remix is allowed to connect to your node by setting up the right JSON-RPC cors policy.
