Deploy an Ante Test
Deploy a completed Ante Test to Mainnet
We've provided several methods to deploy your own Ante Test below, starting with our current preferred method using Hardhat.
As easier methods become available in the future, we'll link them here when we find them.
Our team currently prefers to use Hardhat to deploy our smart contracts. Assuming that the Ante Test has already been written, we can easily deploy an Ante Test to a network of our choosing using our prepared script
scripts/deploy_test.ts in the Ante Community Github.First, make sure that the
.env file is updated with the appropriate keys as per the readme section: Configure the appSecond, in
scripts/deploy_test.ts, update the testName (Line 8) and arguments (Line 10) for the Ante Test you want to deploy.import hre from 'hardhat';
import chalk from 'chalk';
const main = async () => {
const [deployer] = await hre.ethers.getSigners();
// name of the contract for Ante Test
const testName = 'AnteEthDevRugTest';
// array of constructor arguments for Ante Test
const args = ['0xde0b295669a9fd93d5f28d9ec85e40f4cb697bae'] as const;
// script/deploy_test.ts continues
Once these two files have been properly set up, run either of the commands below to deploy the Ante Test:
npm run deploy-test -- --network [NETWORK_NAME]npm run deploy-testis a user-defined command that we've set up to run the npx hardhat command below
npx hardhat run scripts/deploy_test.ts --network [NETWORK_NAME]
Right now, your Ante Test is only visible on Etherscan in bytecode form. In order to provide source code transparency for end users, you can verify the contract on Etherscan. Hardhat provides a plugin for doing this which you can use following the steps below:
First, make sure that the
.env file is updated with your Etherscan key.Next, run the command:
npx hardhat verify --network [NETWORK_NAME] [DEPLOYED_ANTE_TEST_ADDRESS] "Constructor argument 1"
If your Ante Test takes a more complex set of arguments, you can also use an
arguments.js file and run the modified command:npx hardhat verify --network [NETWORK_NAME] --constructor-args [ARGUMENTS_FILE] [DEPLOYED_ANTE_TEST_ADDRESS]
The Hardhat-Etherscan plugin documentation provides additional information on configuration options for the
verify command.The Ethereum Foundation has outlined several methods for deploying smart contracts (and in this case, an Ante Test).
Additionally, there are other solutions that can be explored to deploy the Ante Test:
Make sure you record and remember the address that your Ante Test is deployed to! It will be needed to generate the Ante Pool that end users will interact with.
Once you've deployed your Ante Test, you can then create an Ante Pool (note: this will cost gas as well) to allow users to stake/challenge your test.
