Deploying the escrow contract

1.1 Set up project

Clone project:

$ git clone https://github.com/tashigg/tce-escrow-contract.git

Build:

$ npm i

$ forge build

Test:

$ forge test

Create file .env:

$ cd tce-escrow-contract

$ cp .env.example .env

1.2 Set up wallet

1.2.1 Create wallet

You must have an account in the EVM platform to deploy smart contracts. To have an account, you need to create a wallet. There are many E-Wallet Apps that allow you to create an account:

Metamask
Phantom
AgentX

But the most popular is metamask. We will use metamask in this tutorial.

Steps:

Install: https://metamask.io/download/
Add extension to your browser
Create a new wallet. Accept agreements, follow prompts and create a password.
Secure wallet
Show Secret Recovery Phrase
Take a screenshot to save the secret recovery phrase. Any party who knows this recovery phrase can control the account, and can withdraw or transfer all tokens in the account, so keep the recovery phrase secret. Follow prompts to confirm that you have saved the secret recovery phrase.
You have successfully created a Metamask wallet with a new account. You should pin the Metamask wallet to your web browser.

1.2.2 Get Private Key

You will need the account's private key to deploy smart contracts. Like the secret recovery phrase, any party who knows this private key can control the account, so keep it secret.

Steps:

Open Metamask, select the desired account
Open account details
Show private key. Enter your wallet password and follow prompts to show the key.
Copy the private key

1.2.3 Get Public Key

Open Metamask and copy the public key:

1.2.4 Faucet

Your account balance must be sufficient to pay the smart contract deployment fee. If your balance account is sufficient, you can skip this section.

We will use the Polygon network in this tutorial. The faucet for the polygon network can be found here: https://faucet.polygon.technology/

1.3 RPC Endpoints

Different networks have different RPC endpoints. We've listed them here, but you shouldn't need to manually input any of these because we've provided user-friendly aliases to these endpoints in the foundry.toml file. For more info, see section 1.6

1.4 Set Up API Scan Key

You will need an API key to verify smart contracts.

In this tutorial we will use the Polygon network. If you already have an API key or don’t need to verify your smart contract, you can skip this section.

Steps:

Login: https://polygonscan.com -> Sign In
Create API Key:
Generate API key. You need to enter your app name.
Get API Key

1.5 Config

Configure the `.env` file:

API_KEY_POLYGONSCAN = "Your_PolygonScan_API_Key" PRIVATE_KEY = "Your_Private_Key"

API_KEY_POLYGONSCAN: Your Polygon scan API Key.
PRIVATE_KEY: Your account private key. Copy and Paste private key. (Note: you may need to add "0x" to head of string)

1.6 Deploy & Verify Smart Contract

The foundry.toml file provides user-friendly aliases for the RPC endpoints of various networks. This means you won't need to manually type the endpoint URL in any commands.
