Ethereum: Contract creation confusion — Unsure when my contract was deployed

Confusion in Ethereum Contract Creation: Unsure When My Contract was Deployed

As a user of the popular Ethereum blockchain, I recently found myself in a predicament. After deploying a new contract on Fuji Testnet around 3 hours ago, I made a critical mistake that has left me perplexed. The address associated with my newly created contract is as follows: 0xDb3F493F9D4CdaaDA08E30957c59a0e01CfB2af0.

My problem lies in the fact that I received an expected record of transactions and events from Snowtrace, a popular decentralized analytics platform. The expected output was as follows:

Expected to see: [insert list of expected records]

However, upon reviewing my contract’s deployed state on Fuji Testnet, I noticed something was missing. The contract’s deployed state does not match the expected records from Snowtrace.

This has left me wondering if I inadvertently created a faulty contract or made a critical mistake during deployment. I’ve tried troubleshooting the issue, but I’m still stumped.

A Closer Look at My Contract Deployment

To better understand what went wrong, I decided to take a closer look at my contract’s deployed state. Upon reviewing the contract code and bytecode, I noticed that I made an error in the address field of the contract’s constructor function.

According to the Ethereum documentation, the address field should be set to the default network or testnet address. However, in my case, I mistakenly set it to a non-existent address on Fuji Testnet.

A Message from the Snowtrace Community

I have reached out to the Snowtrace community and asked for their assistance with resolving this issue. One of the experts on their team has offered some valuable advice:

“Sorry to hear that you are experiencing issues with your contract deployment. Be sure to double-check your contract’s constructor function code, especially the address field. Also, ensure that you have verified your contract address using Snowtrace or other reliable sources .”

Next Steps

To resolve this issue, I plan to take the following steps:

• Review my contract’s deployed state again and verify that all fields are set correctly.

• Contact Snowtrace for further assistance and guidance on troubleshooting the issue.

• Update my contract code and deploy it once more to ensure that everything is correct.
