๐ Deployment Checklist
Pre-deployment
- Environment variables configured
- Private keys secured
- Gas estimates calculated
- Constructor arguments prepared
- Testnet deployment successful
During Deployment
- Monitor gas usage
- Record contract addresses
- Verify constructor arguments
- Check transaction confirmations
Post-deployment
- Verify contracts on block explorer
- Configure protocol parameters
- Set up access control
- Test contract functionality
- Update documentation
- Notify community
๐ Security Considerations
Private Key Management
- Use hardware wallets for mainnet deployments
- Never commit private keys to version control
- Use environment variables for sensitive data
- Consider multi-sig wallets for admin functions
Contract Security
- Verify all contracts on block explorer
- Use proxy patterns for upgradeable contracts
- Implement proper access control
- Test emergency procedures
Network Security
- Use official RPC endpoints
- Verify network parameters
- Monitor for suspicious activity
- Keep deployment scripts secure
