What and why

The Sourcify team asked us to verify contract sources at deploy time. Our compiler settings
(bytecodeHash: none, 1 optimizer run, evmVersion: paris, stripped revert strings) and linked
libraries make our metadata hard to guess, so they have been verifying our mainnet contracts by
hand.

The protocol, sale, and upgrade deploy scripts now publish the source of each contract that they
deploy, at the end of the run:

  • scripts/sourceVerification.ts records each contract that the shared connect() connection
    deploys (getContractFactory(...).deploy and deployContract), with its exact constructor
    arguments (overrides dropped), linked libraries, and creation transaction.
  • After the action writes its records, verifyRecordedDeployments() submits each contract to
    Sourcify, and to Etherscan when ETHERSCAN_API_KEY is set. It uses a separate Hardhat runtime
    pinned to the deploy network and to the default build profile. Without it, the plugin connects
    to Hardhat's default network when a script runs under tsx. Its first attempt also compiles with
    the production profile, whose settings differ; the fallback then submits every source file of
    the project.
  • Each contract is submitted once its deployment has 5 confirmations. A deployment that reverted is
    reported, and the others are still submitted. It skips local and in-process chains.
    SKIP_SOURCE_VERIFICATION=1 (or true) turns it off.
  • A failed submission is listed with a retry command and does not change the exit code. The
    deployment is complete, and a failed exit would invite a re-run that deploys again.
  • @nomicfoundation/hardhat-verify goes from 3.0.5 to 3.0.8 (pinned). 3.0.6 added Sourcify; 3.0.9
    and later need Hardhat ^3.1.6, and we pin 3.0.11.
  • Etherscan is enabled only with an API key. As a side effect, pnpm verify:contracts now submits
    to Sourcify too, and no longer fails on a missing key.

Wired entrypoints: pnpm protocol, pnpm sale, upgrade:interfold, upgrade:bondingRegistry,
upgrade:ciphernodeRegistryOwnable, upgrade:e3RefundManager, upgrade:vrf-sortition, and
upgrade:v19.

Verification

  • pnpm test: 843 passing, 3 pending, including 4 new tests in
    test/Deployment/SourceVerification.spec.ts (recording, dropped overrides, deployContract,
    name resolution, no submission from a local chain).
  • size:check, validate:upgrade, gen:manifest:check, tsc --noEmit, eslint, prettier, license
    headers, and doc links: pass.
  • Local end-to-end run, with nothing published: anvil with chain ID 11155111 and a stub Sourcify
    server that captures each request. 10 deployments went through the recorded connect():
    libraries, a library-linked contract with constructor arguments and gas overrides,
    TransparentUpgradeableProxy, the ABI-built CiphernodeRegistryOwnable, deployContract, and
    an FQN-named Honk library. Each captured input, recompiled with solc 0.8.28, reproduced the exact
    creation bytecode of the mined transaction, through both tsx and hardhat run. Without the
    default build profile, the first submission of each contract carried 200 runs and cancun,
    and none matched. With the stub unreachable, the run listed 10 failures and exited 0. When the
    run's last deployment reverted on chain, the earlier contract was still submitted and the
    reverted one was listed as a failure.
  • A read-only call to the real Sourcify API for an already verified mainnet contract reports it as
    already verified.
  • Not run: a real Sourcify or Etherscan submission, which needs a live deploy.

Limits

  • Contracts that another contract creates are not submitted: the ProxyAdmin that each
    TransparentUpgradeableProxy creates, and the FOLD token and auction that the sale deployer
    creates.
  • The older deploy and deploy:verifiers paths (deployAndSave/*) call hre.network.connect()
    directly and are not wired.
  • This PR does not re-verify contracts that are already on mainnet.
  • If a verifier never finishes a job, the plugin keeps polling and the run does not end. The records
    are already written, so stopping the run is safe.
  • templates/default keeps hardhat-verify 3.0.5. Bumping it re-resolves viem's optional zod peer
    in packages/interfold-react (about 900 unrelated lockfile lines).

Compatibility (if applicable)

Not applicable: no Solidity, ABI, storage layout, compiler setting, or deployment record format
changes. Deployed bytecode is unchanged. Deploy runs gain a final verification step.

The protocol, sale and upgrade scripts now record each contract they
deploy and, after writing their records, submit its exact compiler input
(default build profile, constructor arguments, linked libraries) to
Sourcify, and to Etherscan when ETHERSCAN_API_KEY is set. Verifiers no
longer have to guess our settings (bytecodeHash none, 1 optimizer run,
paris, stripped revert strings).

hardhat-verify 3.0.8 adds Sourcify and is the last release that accepts
Hardhat 3.0.11. A failed submission is reported without changing the
exit code; SKIP_SOURCE_VERIFICATION=1 turns verification off.
Contracts that another contract creates (the ProxyAdmin of each proxy, the FOLD token and auction of the sale deployer) are not submitted, and the retry note now says what the production-profile fallback does.

Walkthrough

Deployment scripts now record contract deployment metadata and run source verification after their commands settle. Verification targets eligible live deployments, uses Sourcify and optionally Etherscan, and reports submission failures without throwing.

Changes: Contract source verification

Layer / File(s) Summary
Record deployment metadata
packages/interfold-contracts/scripts/sourceVerification.ts, packages/interfold-contracts/scripts/protocol/cli.ts, packages/interfold-contracts/scripts/sale/cli.ts, packages/interfold-contracts/test/Deployment/SourceVerification.spec.ts
Connection wrappers record deployment details for factory-based and deployContract deployments. Contract names and ABIs can resolve to fully qualified names. Tests cover recorded metadata and name resolution.
Verify recorded deployments
packages/interfold-contracts/scripts/sourceVerification.ts, packages/interfold-contracts/hardhat.config.ts, packages/interfold-contracts/package.json, packages/interfold-contracts/README.md, packages/interfold-contracts/test/Deployment/SourceVerification.spec.ts
Verification filters local-chain deployments, honors the skip variable, waits for five confirmations, and attempts submissions to Sourcify and, when configured, Etherscan. Configuration, dependency pin, documentation, and local-chain test cover this behavior.
Run verification from deployment scripts
packages/interfold-contracts/scripts/protocol.ts, packages/interfold-contracts/scripts/sale.ts, packages/interfold-contracts/scripts/upgrade/*.ts
Protocol, sale, and upgrade scripts run verification after their commands settle. Existing error logging and exit-code handling remain in place.

Merge Risk: Moderate · up to 70af0

If the final deployment fails, earlier successful contracts can be left unverified. Correct that gate before merging; also align the skip setting with its documentation and make the local-chain test runnable alone.

- Line 143: Update the SKIP_SOURCE_VERIFICATION check in the source verification
flow to skip only when its value is exactly "1"; values such as "0" must
continue through verification and preserve recorded deployments.
- Line 199: Update verifyOnNetwork to wait for each recorded deployment
transaction independently instead of awaiting only
deployments[deployments.length - 1]. Report wait failures with the associated
deployment address, then continue submitting records whose confirmation waits
succeed so one failed transaction cannot prevent earlier successful deployments
from being submitted.

Review comments at
@packages/interfold-contracts/test/Deployment/SourceVerification.spec.ts:
- Line 70: Make the “submits nothing from a local chain” test independent by
creating a local deployment before calling verifyRecordedDeployments(), so
recordedDeployments() is populated without relying on earlier tests.

Included review availability: This review used your included allowance. Your plan provides up to 1 included review per hour; 0 remain after this review.

A run that stopped on a reverted deployment waited only on that last
transaction, so its error skipped every earlier contract. Each deployment
now waits for its own confirmations, and a reverted one is reported while
the others are still submitted. Failure lines use the short ethers message.

SKIP_SOURCE_VERIFICATION skips only for 1 or true, so 0 verifies. The
local-chain test deploys its own contract instead of relying on earlier
tests.
