Deploy on a Testnet with Foundry in 2 min
🚀 Ready to take your Foundry skills to the next level? In this quick tutorial, I'll guide you through deploying a smart contract to a testnet using Foundry, all within 2 minutes! This video is designed for developers who want to efficiently learn and apply Foundry deployment techniques.
👇 Steps to Follow:
Initialize Foundry: Use forge init to set up your environment.
Handling Existing Git Projects: For projects with initialized Git, run forge init —no-commit.
Start Anvil: Open your code editor's terminal and type anvil.
Clean Workspace: Delete all files in the src, script, and test directories.
Add Your Contract: Place your smart contract in the src folder. (I'm using EtherWallet from Solidity by Example.)
Compile Your Contract: Open a new terminal and run forge build.
Wallet Setup: Write cast wallet import ACCOUNT-NAME —interactive in your terminal.
Private Key Security: Enter the private key of your wallet (I'm using one from MetaMask) and ensure privacy.
Set a Password: Enter a password for additional security.
Verify Wallet: Use cast wallet list to confirm your account's addition.
Choose a Testnet: I'm deploying to Scroll Sepolia, a ZK rollup L2 on Ethereum.
Get RPC URL: Visit chainlist for the RPC URL.
Deploy to Testnet: Execute forge create EtherWallet —rpc-url https://sepolia-rpc.scroll.io/ — account ACCOUNT-NAME —sender WALLET_ADDRESS —broadcast.
Optional Keystore Check: Navigate to cd.foundry/keystores and use cat account-name to verify encryption.
Enhanced Security: No need to pass private keys to .env.
