Deploying New Contracts

Overview

Starknet Foundry sncast supports deploying smart contracts to a given network with the sncast deploy command.

It works by invoking a Universal Deployer Contract, which deploys the contract with the given class hash and constructor arguments.

For detailed CLI description, see deploy command reference.

Usage Examples

General Example

After declaring your contract, you can deploy it the following way:

$ sncast \
    --account myuser \
    --url http://127.0.0.1:5050/rpc \
    deploy \
    --class-hash 0x8448a68b5ea1affc45e3fd4b8b480ea36a51dc34e337a16d2567d32d0c6f8a

command: Deploy
contract_address: 0x301316d47a81b39c5e27cca4a7b8ca4773edbf1103218588d6da4d3ed53035a
transaction_hash: 0x64a62a000240e034d1862c2bbfa154aac6a8195b4b2e570f38bf4fd47a5ab1e

💡 Info Max fee will be automatically computed if --max-fee <MAX_FEE> is not passed.

Deploying Contract With Constructor

For such a constructor in the declared contract

#[constructor]
fn constructor(ref self: ContractState, first: felt252, second: u256) {
    ...
}

you have to pass constructor calldata to deploy it.

$ sncast deploy \
    --class-hash 0x8448a68b5ea1affc45e3fd4b8b480ea36a51dc34e337a16d2567d32d0c6f8a \
    --constructor-calldata 0x1 0x1 0x0
    
command: deploy
contract_address: 0x301316d47a81b39c5e27cca4a7b8ca4773edbf1103218588d6da4d3ed53035a
transaction_hash: 0x64a62a000240e034d1862c2bbfa154aac6a8195b4b2e570f38bf4fd47a5ab1e

📝 Note Although the constructor has only two params you have to pass more because u256 is serialized to two felts. It is important to know how types are serialized because all values passed as constructor calldata are interpreted as a field elements (felt252).

Passing salt Argument

Salt is a parameter which modifies contract's address, if not passed it will be automatically generated.

$ sncast deploy \
    --class-hash 0x8448a68b5ea1affc45e3fd4b8b480ea36a51dc34e337a16d2567d32d0c6f8a \
    --salt 0x123
    
command: deploy
contract_address: 0x301316d47a81b39c5e27cca4a7b8ca4773edbf1103218588d6da4d3ed5303bc
transaction_hash: 0x64a62a000240e034d1862c2bbfa154aac6a8195b4b2e570f38bf4fd47a5ab1e

Passing unique Argument

Unique is a parameter which modifies contract's salt with the deployer address. It can be passed even if the salt argument was not provided.

$ sncast deploy \
    --class-hash 0x8448a68b5ea1affc45e3fd4b8b480ea36a51dc34e337a16d2567d32d0c6f8a \
    --unique
    
command: deploy
contract_address: 0x301316d47a81b39c5e27cca4a7b8ca4773edbf1103218588d6da4d3ed5303aa
transaction_hash: 0x64a62a000240e034d1862c2bbfa154aac6a8195b4b2e570f38bf4fd47a5ab1e
