Deployment

This guide walks you through deploying the Zaphenath contract using Foundry scripts.

Deploying Locally with Anvil

1. Start a local testnet

anvil

This launches a local Ethereum node with test accounts.

2. Run the deploy script

In a separate terminal:

forge script script/Zaphenath.s.sol \
  --broadcast \
  --rpc-url http://localhost:8545

You should see output showing the deployed contract address.

Deploying to a Public Testnet (e.g., Sepolia)

1. Set environment variables

Export your private key and RPC URL. For safety, use .env in real projects.

export PRIVATE_KEY=your_private_key
export RPC_URL=https://sepolia.infura.io/v3/YOUR_INFURA_KEY

2. Deploy

forge script script/Zaphenath.s.sol \
  --broadcast \
  --rpc-url $RPC_URL \
  --private-key $PRIVATE_KEY

Deployment Output

After deployment, Foundry logs the contract address. Save it for contract interactions.

Troubleshooting

• Missing console logs? Ensure you're using console.log from forge-std.
• Contract not found? Verify your paths in import and foundry.toml.
• Network errors? Make sure RPC URLs and keys are correctly set.
