Ethereum: Unable to Deploy Transparent Proxy Contract to Polygon Mainnet With Hardhat
As a developer, we’ve all experienced the frustration of deploying smart contracts to different blockchains. In this article, we’ll explore why ethereum is unable to deploy our transparent proxy contract to Polygon’s mainnet using hardhat.
The Issue
Let’s dive into what could be caused the issue. When we deploy our contract to the testnet (Mumbai) with hardhat, everything works fine. However, when we try to deploy it to Polygon’s mainnet, we encounter an error.
To isolate this issue, we’ll use a combination of debugging techniques and troubleshooting steps.
Step 1: Check Network Compatibility
First, let’s ensure that our contract is compatible with the network we’re trying to deploy on. We can use the network.show () Function to display the current network we’re targeting:
`JavaScript
Const network = await ethers.getnetwork ();
console.log (network.name); // Output: Polygon
This confirms that we’re Targeting Polygon’s Mainnet.
Step 2: Check Contract Deployment Configuration
Next, let’s verify that our contract deployment configuration is correct. We need to ensure that the Target Property in our contract’s Abi
`JavaScript
const transparentproxycontract = await ethers.getContractefactory ("transparentproxycontract");
const deployconfig = {
Target: {[network.name]: "Polygon"}
};
If the Target 'property is not set correctly, the contract will fail to deploy.
Step 3: Check hardhat version and config
We'll also check if our hardhat version and configuration are compatible with Polygon's mainnet. We can use thehardhat.config.jsfile to specify the network:
JavaScript
module.exports = {
// ... Other configurations ...
Networks: {
Polygon: {
Chainid: process.env.polygonchainid, // Set this using your polygons cli command
GasSrice: 20,
BlockNumber: 1000
}
},
};
Make sure to set the Chainid Property to the actual id of Polygon’s Mainnet.
Step 4: Verify Transaction Errors
To confirm that our contract is being deployed successfully, let’s check for any transaction errors:
`JavaScript
const txhash = await transparentproxycontract.deploy ({
... deployconfig,
Gaslimit: 2000000
});
console.log (txhash); // Output: Hash of the Deployment Transaction
If we encounter any error messages during the deployment process, it may indicate that our contract is not being deployed correctly.
Conclusion
After going through these steps, if you still experiencing issues deploying your transparent proxy contract to Polygon’s Mainhat with Hardhat, ensure that:
- Your Contract Deployment Configuration Matches The Network
- You’re using a compatible hardhat version and Configuration for Polygon’s Mainnet
- The transaction is being deployed successfully
If none of these troubleshooting steps resolve the issue, please provide more details about your project setup and deployment process, and I’ll be happy to assist further.
