After a successful transfer, you will see the updated balance in chain state.
To pass through this demo you need to have installed ink! and have substrate project with contracts SRML module.
Add your node and connect to it.
Better to go through this workshop how to compile contract and ABI. In the end, you will get the next files in your target directory of the smart contract.
To upload WASM code go to Extrinsics | Chain state | Contracts panel, click on the ... button and select Upload WASM option. Type in the inputs following data: file with wasm, name of the contract code, maximum gas amount, account which sign transaction, password to decrypt account.
After successful upload of code you will see similar result to this:
