Deploy Contracts

At the software level, deploying to Sonic is the same as deploying to any other EVM network.

The only difference is which network you connect to. Use https://rpc.testnet.soniclabs.com as the connection endpoint for the Sonic testnet or https://rpc.soniclabs.com for the mainnet.

For the Sonic testnet, you can use the Sonic testnet dashboard to obtain an initial amount of S to execute transactions on the testnet.

Here are example configurations for Hardhat to deploy on the Sonic mainnet or testnet:

Sonic Mainnet

require("@nomicfoundation/hardhat-toolbox");

// Replace this private key with your Sonic account private key
const SONIC_PRIVATE_KEY = "YOUR SONIC TEST ACCOUNT PRIVATE KEY";

module.exports = {
  solidity: "0.8.26",
  networks: {
    sonic: {
      url: "https://rpc.soniclabs.com",
      accounts: [SONIC_PRIVATE_KEY]
    }
  }
};

Sonic Testnet

To deploy, execute npx hardhat run scripts/deploy.js --network sonic.

Please note that the Sonic testnet is a testing playground designed to showcase technology capabilities. The data stored on the network might eventually be deleted, with or without notice.
