Using Scaffold-ETH 2 to Deploy Smart Contracts

The Status Network Scaffold-ETH 2 extension provides a pre-configured setup for deploying smart contracts on Status Network with both Foundry and Hardhat support, plus a NextJS frontend.

Prerequisites

• Yarn: Package manager for JavaScript projects
• Foundry (optional): If you choose the Foundry workflow
• Ethereum Wallet (optional): An EVM wallet private key for test, but it's okay if you don't have one

Note

: Status Network supports gasless transactions, so testnet ETH is optional. If you still need testnet ETH, get it from our Faucet.

Quick Start

1. Install the extension:

   npx create-eth@latest -e status-im/status-network-scaffold-extension
   

2. Configure your account:

   yarn generate
   

3. Deploy to Status Network:

   yarn deploy --network statusSepolia
   

4. Verify your contract:

   # Hardhat
   yarn hardhat:hardhat-verify --network statusSepolia <YourDeployedContractAddress>
   # Foundry
   yarn status:verify --network statusSepolia
   

5. Launch the frontend:

   yarn start
   

Key Points

• No local chain needed: Deploy directly to testnet
• Always use --network statusSepolia for deployments and verification
• Blockscout verification: Status Network uses Blockscout, not Etherscan
• Pre-configured frontend: NextJS automatically connects to Status Network
