Create2 Deployer

Introduction

This repo demonstrates a sample contract deployment using the create2 opcode. There is a demo script to deploy an ERC-20 using our generic deployer.

Prerequisites

NodeJS and Yarn

First install the LTS of nodejs which is 14.17.0 at the time of writing. NodeJS bundles npm.

Next install yarn:

npm install -g yarn

Dependencies

First clone this repo and download the necessary packages.

git clone https://github.com/dasconnor/create2-deployer.git
cd create2-deployer
yarn

Building

In package.json there's a compile script.

"compile": "npx hardhat compile",

Run yarn compile to make sure your project compiles.

Prepare to Deploy

Edit the deployment script in scripts/deploy.ts Without editing, the script will deploy the Deployer contract and deploy an example ERC-20 with create2. The function will then print the log of the deploy.

Deploy

Hardhat enables deploying to multiple environments. In package.json there is a script for deploying.

"deploy": "npx hardhat run scripts/deploy.ts",

You can chose which environment that you want to deploy to by passing in the --network flag with avash, fuji, or mainnet for each respective environment. If you don't pass in --network then it will default to the hardhat network. For example, if you want to deploy to mainnet

yarn deploy --network mainnet

When you deploy to avash, fuji or mainnet you can add your private key(s) as an array to the respective environment's accounts field in hardhat.config.js.
