How to deploy contracts

Once you have successfully compiled your contracts, you need to make sure to fill out the necessary instantiation message information under the init field in the jenesis.toml file.

You can deploy all the contracts inside a profile, by follwoing one of these two options:

1. You can fill the deployer_key field for each contract inside the jenesis.toml file (keys can be different for each contract) and run the following command:

   jenesis deploy [--profile profile_name]

   Each contract inside the specified profile will be deployed with the specified key.

2. You can simply specify a certain key as an argument of the deploy command:

   jenesis deploy key_name [--profile profile_name]

   The deployer_key field will be ignored in this case and all contracts inside the specified profile will be deployed using the key key_name.

After running either of the commands mentioned above, all the deployment information will be saved in the jenesis.lock file inside your project's directory and depicted as follows:

[profile.testing.my_first_contract]
checksum = "ecf640a7512be3777c72ec42aff01fdb22897b71953011af3c41ee5dbf3d3bc5"
digest = "be4a4bdfeb4ed8f504c7b7ac84e31ad3876627398a6586b49cac586633af8b85"
address = "fetch16l239ggyr4z7pvsxec0ervlyw03mn6pz62l9ss6la94cf06awv0q36cq7u"
code_id = 2594

Deploy contracts depending on other deployments

You can point to other contract addresses in any contract's instantiation message if required.

For instance, if you have contracts A, B, and C within our project, but contract A requires contract's B deployment address in its instantiation message and contract B requires contract's C deployment address, these will need to be deployed in the following order: C, B, A.

In order to provide this information to Jenesis you will need to specify where exactly these contract addresses need to be inserted inside the instantiation messages. You can do this by writing the $ symbol followed by the contract name in the corresponding field in the init parameters:

[profile.testing.contracts.A.init]
name = "A"
token_contract_address = "$B"
 
[profile.testing.contracts.B.init]
token_name = "my_token"
liquidity_contract_address = "$C"
 
[profile.testing.contracts.C.init]
count = 5

Finally, Jenesis will detect this information and deploy the contracts in the correct order: C, B, A.
