What you will accomplish

Prerequisites

Before you begin, you should be familiar with the following:

Also, you should have the following set up on your computer ⬇
Check your prerequisites set up ⬇

Open your terminal, and enter the following commands.

git --version
code --version
node --version
npm --version
forge --version
cast --version

Each of these commands should output some text that includes a version number, for example:

git --version
git version 2.39.2 (Apple Git-143)

code --version
1.81.1
6c3e3dba23e8fadc360aed75ce363ba185c49794
arm64

node --version
v20.6.1

npm --version
9.8.1

forge --version
0.2.0 (3cdee82 2024-02-15T00:19:38.655803000Z)

cast --version
0.2.0 (3cdee82 2024-02-15T00:19:38.543163000Z)

If the output contains text similar to command not found, please install that item.


Get started

Set up project

To follow along, start with the main branch, which is the default branch of this repository. This gives you the initial state from which you can follow along with the steps as described in the tutorial.

forge manages dependencies by using git submodules. Clone the following project and pass --recurse-submodules to the git clone command to automatically initialize and update the submodule in the repository.

git clone --recurse-submodules git@github.com:hedera-dev/foundry-deploy-and-verify-smart-contract.git
Alternative with `git` and HTTPS
git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/hedera-dev/foundry-deploy-and-verify-smart-contract.git

Install the submodule dependencies

In your terminal, enter the projects root directory

cd foundry-deploy-and-verify-smart-contract  

Next, run the following command to install the dependencies

forge install

Obtain your ECDSA Hex Encoded Private Key

Keep your private key accessible as it will be needed in the following steps.

Choose your Testnet RPC_URL

Keep the Testnet RPC_URL accessible as it will be needed in the next step.

Deploy and Automatically Verify Your Contract on Hedera Testnet

In your terminal, replace the value of "HEX_Encoded_Private_Key" with your ECDSA account's private key and replace "RPC_URL" with a Testnet URL in the command below:

forge create --rpc-url "RPC_URL" --private-key "HEX_Encoded_Private_Key" --verify --verifier sourcify --verifier-url https://server-verify.hashscan.io src/TodoList.sol:TodoList
Example forge create command
forge create --rpc-url https://testnet.hashio.io/api --private-key 0x348ce564d427a3317b6536bbcff9290d69395b06ed6c486954e971d960fe87ac --verify --verifier sourcify --verifier-url https://server-verify.hashscan.io src/TodoList.sol:TodoList

Sourcify is a Solidity source code and metadata verification tool.

Hashscan is a Hedera Mirror Node Explorer that integrates with Sourcify to provide a verification service located at https://server-verify.hashscan.io.

You should see output similar to the following:

[⠒] Compiling...
[⠔] Compiling 22 files with 0.8.23
[⠘] Solc 0.8.23 finished in 3.43s

Submitting verification for [TodoList] "0x3b096B1c56A48119CB4fe140F1D26196590aF46C".
Contract successfully verified

Open the Hashscan explorer in your browser by copying the Deployed to EVM address and replacing <Deployed_Contract_EVM_Address> in the link below:

https://hashscan.io/testnet/contract/<Deployed_Contract_EVM_Address>

Example: https://hashscan.io/testnet/contract/0x3b096B1c56A48119CB4fe140F1D26196590aF46C

You should see a page with:

  • The title "Contract" (1)

  • An "EVM Address" field that matches the value of Deployed To in the output above. (2)

  • A section titled "Contract Bytecode" with a green verified tag. (3)

  • Two tabs titled "Source" and "Bytecode". (4)

Verify A Pre-Existing Contract on Testnet

You may have a pre-existing contract that has not been verified yet.

Deploy a contract without verifying by running this command in your terminal:

forge create --rpc-url "RPC_URL" --private-key "HEX_Encoded_Private_Key" src/TodoList.sol:TodoList

In order to verify a pre-existing smart contract you will need:

  • the contract EVM address with 0x prefix

  • the contract name or path to the contract

  • the chain ID

In your terminal, replace <CONTRACT_ADDRESS> with the contract EVM address you wish to verify.

forge verify-contract --chain-id 296 --verifier sourcify --verifier-url https://server-verify.hashscan.io  <CONTRACT_ADDRESS> src/TodoList.sol:TodoList
  • The chain ID for Mainnet is 295.

  • The chain ID for Testnet is 296, which is what you are using.

  • The chain ID for Previewnet is 297.

You should see output similar to the following:

Start verifying contract `0xC08d3Cf01739C713BaD1cf65FD4127CB90550568` deployed on 296

Submitting verification for [TodoList] "0xC08d3Cf01739C713BaD1cf65FD4127CB90550568".
Contract successfully verified

Check Contract Verification Status

In your terminal, replace <CONTRACT_ADDRESS> with the contract EVM address you wish to verify.

forge verify-check --chain-id 296 --verifier sourcify --verifier-url https://server-verify.hashscan.io <CONTRACT_ADDRESS>

You should see output similar to the following:

Checking verification status on 296
Contract successfully verified

Complete

Congratulations, on completing the tutorial on how to verify smart contracts on Hedera Testnet.

You have learned how to:


If you haven't to work with git, you may wish use this command instead:

In order to deploy your smart contract you will need access to your ECDSA hex encoded private key. You can find your ECDSA hex encoded private key by logging into .

If you need to create a Hedera account, follow the tutorial.
