Ethereum: Unable to implement transparent proxy contract on Polygon mainnet with Hardhat

Ethereum: Unable to deploy Transparent Proxy contract on Polygon mainnet with Hardhat

As a developer, we have all faced the frustration of deploying smart contracts on different blockchains. In this article, we will explore why Ethereum is unable to deploy our Transparent Proxy contract on Polygon mainnet using Hardhat.

The Problem

Let’s take a look at what could be causing the issue. When we deploy our contract on the testnet (Mumbai) with Hardhat, everything works fine. However, when we try to deploy it on Polygon mainnet, we encounter an error.

To isolate this issue, we will use a combination of troubleshooting techniques and troubleshooting steps.

Step 1: Check Network Compatibility

First, let’s make sure that our contract is compatible with the network we are trying to deploy to. We can use the network.show() function to display the current network we are targeting:

const network = await ethers.getNetwork();
console.log(network.name); // Output: polygon

This confirms that we are targeting the main Polygon network.

Step 2: Check the contract deployment configuration

Next, let’s check that our contract deployment configuration is correct. We need to make sure that the “target” property in the ABI (Application Binary Interface) of our contract matches the network we are deploying:

const TransparentProxyContract = await ethers.getContractFactory("TransparentProxyContract");
const deployConfig = {
target: { [network.name]: "Polygon" }
};

If the `targetproperty is not set correctly, the contract will not be able to be deployed.

We will also check that our Hardhat version and configuration are compatible with the Polygon mainnet. We can use thehardhat.config.jsfile to specify the network:

module.exports = {
// ... other configurations ...
networks: {
polygon: {
chainId: process.env.POLYGONCainId, // Set this using the Polygons CLI command
Gasoline price: 20,
Block number: 1000
}
},
};

Make sure to set the chainId` property to the actual ID of the Polygon mainnet.

Step 4: Check for transaction errors

To confirm that our contract is deployed successfully, let’s check for transaction errors:

const txHash = await TransparentProxyContract.deploy({
...deployConfig,
Gas limit: 2000000
});
console.log(txHash); // Output: hash of the deployment transaction

If we encounter error messages during the deployment process, it may indicate that our contract is not deployed correctly.

Conclusion

After going through these steps, if you are still having problems deploying your Transparent Proxy contract to the Polygon mainnet with Hardhat, make sure that:

• Your configuration contract deployment matches network

• Please use a compatible version and headset configuration for the Polygon main network

• Transaction deployed successfully

If none of these troubleshooting steps resolve the issue, please provide more details about your project setup and deployment process and I will be happy to assist you further.
