ERC20 Smart Contract not visible on Ropsten

Question

While trying to deploy my erc20 contract on ropsten,I am not able to see transaction at https://ropsten.etherscan.io

Steps I followed

1) My Config file :

networks: {
    development: {
      host: "127.0.0.1",
      port: 8545,
      network_id: "*" // Match any network id
    },

    ropsten: {
      host: "127.0.0.1",
      port: 8545,
      network_id: "3",
      gas: 500000
    }
  }

2) Copied my ropsten network address using mnemonics from metamask to Ganache.

3) Ran following command

truffle migrate --network ropsten --reset

4) Contract got deployed successfully with following output

Using network 'ropsten'.

Anything I am missing here. Thanks in advance

Answer 1

Ganache is a blockchain simulator, you can't deploy smart contracts to the Ropsten testnet with Ganache. You'll either have to set up your own geth node that is connected to the Ropsten network or a combination of truffle-hdwallet-provider and infura to deploy your contracts to Ropsten.

Here's an example truffle-config.js:

var HDWalletProvider = require("truffle-hdwallet-provider");

const constants = {
    infuraAccessToken: "[YOUR INFURA ACCESS TOKEN]",
    mnemonic: "[YOUR SECRET MNEMONIC]"
}

let truffleOptions = {
  networks: {
    development: {
      host: "localhost",
      port: 8545,
      network_id: "*", // Match any network id
    },
    ropsten: {
      provider: () => new HDWalletProvider(constants.mnemonic, "https://ropsten.infura.io/" + constants.infuraAccessToken),
      network_id: 3,
      gas: 4700000, // Please check the current block gas limit and set this value accordingly
    },
  }
};

module.exports = truffleOptions;

Answer 2

npm i -g etherlime
etherlime init
etherlime compilе
etherlime deploy --network=ropsten  --secret={PrivateKey}

Also you should set the path your contract in deploy.js

const etherlime = require('etherlime');

const TestContract = require('./TestContract.json'); //Path to your contract

const defaultConfigs = {
    gasPrice: 20000000000,
    gasLimit: 4700000
}

const deploy = async (network) => {

    const deployer = new etherlime.InfuraPrivateKeyDeployer('Your Private Key Goes Here', 'ropsten', 'Your Infura API Key', defaultConfigs);

    const result = await deployer.deploy(TestContract, '0xda8a06f1c910cab18ad187be1faa2b8606c2ec86', 1539426974);
}

If you have any issues read the Documentation. Good luck!
