Testnet Deployment

Testnet permissionless contract deployment guide

This guide will walk you through deploying a smart contract on the Injective EVM Testnet network.

You can request EVM testnet funds here

Requirements

1. The guide uses foundry for deployments. Install it by running:

curl -L https://foundry.paradigm.xyz | bash

To verify the installation:

forge --version

1. Add Injective EVM to your foundry.toml

[rpc_endpoints]
injectiveEvm = "https://k8s.testnet.json-rpc.injective.network/"

Deploying

Due to the EVM-equivalence of Injective, foundry commands should work as expected. The major difference is the network URL. In most cases, using --rpc-url injectiveEvm is sufficient.

Navigate to your smart contract project

cd path/to/your/project

Deploying a smart contract

Your private key should have INJ on the Injective network. A transaction will be created which requires a gas fee. You can request EVM testnet funds here

# Simulating
forge create src/{YourContract}.sol:{ContractName} --rpc-url injectiveEvm --private-key {YourPrivateKey}

# Broadcasting
forge create src/{YourContract}.sol:{ContractName} --rpc-url injectiveEvm --private-key {YourPrivateKey} --broadcast

Verifying on Blockscout

After the deployment is completed, you can verify the contract.

forge verify-contract \
  --rpc-url injectiveEvm \
  --verifier blockscout \
  --verifier-url 'https://testnet.blockscout-api.injective.network/api/' \
  {SmartContractAddress} \
  src/{YourContract}.sol:{ContractName}

After that, you can navigate to the contract address in Explorer to see the code, parsed logs, and callable methods (example).

You can read more about foundry deploying here, or you can check other deployment options here. You can also read more about forge verify-contract here.
