Contract Interfaces

System contracts for interacting with the ZKsync Era network using ABI.

There is a set of system contract that helps with the interaction with ZKsync Era network. Most of them are called using abi.

Example

from web3 import Web3

from zksync2.manage_contracts.utils import zksync_abi_default
from zksync2.module.module_builder import ZkSyncBuilder

zksync = ZkSyncBuilder.build(self.env.zksync_server)
zksync_contract = self.eth_web3.eth.contract(Web3.to_checksum_address(zksync.zksync.main_contract_address), abi=zksync_abi_default())

ContractDeployer

ContractDeployer is a utility system contract, represented as a type to cover the following functionality:

  • encode binary contract representation by create method for further deploying.
  • encode binary contract representation by create2 method for further deploying.
  • Precompute contract address for create and create2 methods.

Construction: needs only web3 object with appended zksync module

Example:

from zksync2.manage_contracts.contract_deployer import ContractDeployer
from zksync2.module.module_builder import ZkSyncBuilder

zksync_web3 = ZkSyncBuilder.build("ZKSYNC_NETWORK_URL")
deployer = ContractDeployer(zksync_web3)

Parameter and Methods:

MethodParametersReturn valueDescription
encode_createbytecode, optional call_data & saltHexStrCreates binary representation of a contract in an internal deploying format.
bytecode - contract binary representation, call_data is used for ctor bytecode only, salt is used to generate unique identifier of deploying contract.
encode_create2bytecode, optional call_data & saltHexStrCreates binary representation of contract in an internal deploying format.
bytecode - contract binary representation, call_data is used for ctor bytecode only, salt is used to generate unique identifier of deploying contract.
compute_l2_create_addressAddress, NonceAddressAccepts address of deployer and current deployed nonce and returns address of contract that is going to be deployed by theencode_create method.
compute_l2_create2_addressAddress, bytecode, ctor bytecode, saltAddressAccepts address of the deployer, binary representation of contract, its constructor in binary format and salt. By default constructor can be b'0' value. It returns the address of the contract that is going to be deployed by anencode_create2 method.

Example: Deploying a contract using create

Here is an example of how to deploy a contract using the create method. This example assumes you have the necessary setup and environment variables configured.

For development and testing, it is recommended to use burner wallets. Avoid using real private keys to prevent security risks.
