Deploying Contracts

1

Add your deployer wallet's private key

Create a new wallet keystore to securely store your deployer account’s private key.

cast wallet import myKeystore --interactive

Enter your wallet’s private key when prompted and provide a password to encrypt it.

2

Get ETH in the deployer account

The deployer account requires ETH to deploy a smart contract.

  • Testnet: Claim ETH via a faucet, or bridge ETH from Sepolia.
  • Mainnet: Use a bridge to transfer ETH to Abstract mainnet.
3

Deploy your smart contract

Run the following command to deploy your smart contracts:

forge create src/Counter.sol:Counter \
    --account myKeystore \
    --rpc-url https://api.testnet.abs.xyz \
    --chain 11124 \
    --zksync \
    --verify \
    --verifier etherscan \
    --verifier-url https://api-sepolia.abscan.org/api \
    --etherscan-api-key TACK2D1RGYX9U7MC31SZWWQ7FCWRYQ96AD

Note: Replace the contract path and Etherscan API key with your own.

If successful, the output should look similar to the following:

Deployer: 0x9C073184e74Af6D10DF575e724DC4712D98976aC
Deployed to: 0x85717893A18F255285AB48d7bE245ddcD047dEAE
Transaction hash: 0x2a4c7c32f26b078d080836b247db3e6c7d0216458a834cfb8362a2ac84e68d9f

​
Providing Constructor Arguments

If your smart contract has a constructor with arguments, provide the arguments in the order they are defined in the constructor following the --constructor-args flag.

forge create src/Counter.sol:Counter \
    --account myKeystore \
    --rpc-url https://api.testnet.abs.xyz \
    --chain 11124 \
    --zksync \
    --constructor-args 1000000000000000000 0x9C073184e74Af6D10DF575e724DC4712D98976aC \
    --verify \
    --verifier etherscan \
    --verifier-url https://api-sepolia.abscan.org/api \
    --etherscan-api-key TACK2D1RGYX9U7MC31SZWWQ7FCWRYQ96AD

Note: Replace the contract path, constructor arguments, and Abscan API key with your own.
