sol-verifier is an NPM package to verify the Solidity smart contracts on Etherscan. It works as a CLI tool and can be used inside the js file too.
As a dependency, to use inside a file:
npm install --save sol-verifier
As a development dependency, to use it as <project_root>/node_modules/.bin/sol-verifier:
npm install --save-dev sol-verifier
As a global npm module, to use sol-verifier as an executable:
npm install -g sol-verifier
sol-verifier has multiple available options. some of them are required and some depends on the usecase. One can see all the available options by using --help option.
$ sol-verifier --help
Usage: sol-verifier [options]
Options:
-v, --version output the version number
-k, --key <etherscan-api-key> Etherscan API Key (recommended but optional)
-c, --contract <path-to-solidity-contract-file> Contract File Path (required)
-a, --address <contract-address> Address of Deployed Contract (required)
-n, --network <network> Ethereum Network on Which Contract is deployed (if applicable)
-N, --contractName <contract-name> Contract Name if Passed File Contains More Than One Contract (if applicable)
-p, --constructParams [param1, param2,...] Constructor Parameter Values Same as in Deployment (if applicable)
-r, --runs <runs> Optimizer Runs (optional, default 200)
-e, --evmVersion <evm-version> See valid options: https://solidity.readthedocs.io/en/latest/using-the-compiler.html#target-options (optional, default compiler-default)
-l, --licenseType <license-type> Valid codes 1-12, see https://etherscan.io/contract-license-types (optional, default 1=No License)
-o, --optimize Add This Flag to Optimize The Contract (optional)
-h, --help output usage information
Keeping the user-friendliness in mind, sol-verifier process certain information internally until it is explicitly required. For example, in a minimum case, if someone deploys a contract as below on some Ethereum network(which exists only on one network),
pragma solidity ^0.5.7;
contract SimpleStorage {
uint storedData;
function set(uint x) public {
storedData = x;
}
function get() public view returns (uint) {
return storedData;
}
}
by CLI, it can be verified with this command:
$ sol-verifier -c <contract-file-path> -a <contract-address>
That's it.
When you have a contract importing some other contracts and having constructor with parameters, it can be verified with this command:
$ sol-verifier -k <etherscan-api-key> -c <contract-file-path> -a <contract-address> -n <network i.e. mainnet, ropsten etc.> -p <constructor-params-values as: [param1,param2]> -N <contract-name>
If contract is compiled & deployed by enabling optimization, flag -o can be used to enable the optimization during verification. On successful verification, you will get response as :
Info: Contract has been successfully verified.
A request object will be passed to verify contract. See below: (Make sure keys of request object will be always same)
const verifier = require('sol-verifier');
var data = {
key: 'etherscan-api-key', // Etherscan API key (required)
path : '/path/to/contract/contractName.sol', // Contract file path(required)
contractAddress: '0x123456789.......', // Contract address (required)
network : 'mainnet/ropsten/rinkeby/kovan', // Ethereum network used (required)
contractName: 'contractName' // Contract name, only if contract file has more than one contracts
cvalues : [constructor, values, in, array], // constructor values in array, only if contract has constructor
evmVersion: 'istanbul', // See valid options: https://solidity.readthedocs.io/en/latest/using-the-compiler.html#target-options (optional, default compiler-default)
runs: 200, // Optimizer Runs (optional, default 200)
licenseType: 1, // Valid codes 1-12, see https://etherscan.io/contract-license-types (optional, default 1=No License)
optimizationFlag: false // Set `true` to enable optimization (default false)
};
await verifier.verifyContract(data);
Parameters not applicable can be ignored.
Note: In case of array as constructor parameters, pass values as: [[v1, v2], v3, v4] (This feature is available since version v2.1.0)
- Add specific version with
^in your contract pragma. Version should be same as the compiler version used while contract deployment. - This doesn't provide support for libraries.
- Works for solidity version
> 0.4.11. - The Etherscan API that this module uses is in BETA state.
- Maximum time for processing verification request is 30 seconds. If request timed out, check final result on Etherscan itself.
