forge create
NAME
forge-create - Deploy a smart contract.
SYNOPSIS
forge create
[options] contract
DESCRIPTION
Deploy a smart contract.
The path to the contract is in the format <path>:<contract>
, e.g. src/Contract.sol:Contract
.
You can specify constructor arguments with --constructor-args
. Alternatively, you can specify a file
containing space-separated constructor arguments with --constructor-args-path
.
Dynamic linking is not supported: you should predeploy your libraries and manually specify their addresses (see --libraries
).
ℹ️ Note
The
--constructor-args
flag must be positioned last in the command, since it takes multiple values.
OPTIONS
Build Options
--constructor-args
args...
The constructor arguments.
--constructor-args-path
file
The path to a file containing the constructor arguments.
--verify
Verify contract after creation. Runs forge verify-contract
with the appropriate parameters.
--verifier
name
The verification provider. Available options: etherscan
, sourcify
& blockscout
. Default: etherscan
.
--verifier-url
url
The optional verifier url for submitting the verification request.
Environment: VERIFIER_URL
--unlocked
Send via eth_sendTransaction
using the --from
argument or $ETH_FROM
as sender.
Transaction Options
--gas-limit
gas_limit
Gas limit for the transaction.
--gas-price
price
Gas price for the transaction, or max fee per gas for EIP1559 transactions.
--priority-gas-price
price
Max priority fee per gas for EIP1559 transactions.
--value
value
Ether to send in the transaction.
Either specified as an integer (wei), or as a string with a unit, for example:
- 1ether
- 10gwei
- 0.01ether
--nonce
nonce
Nonce for the transaction.
--legacy
Send a legacy transaction instead of an EIP1559 transaction.
This is automatically enabled for common networks without EIP1559.
