Mainnet Deployment & Monitoring
Learn best practices for deploying smart contracts to mainnet, including gas optimization, verification, and ongoing monitoring.
Ready for the Real World?
Deploying to mainnet means your contract goes live on the actual Ethereum blockchain. This is where real value is at stake!
Unlike testnets, transactions here cost real Ether (gas).
- Mainnet: The live, public blockchain network.
- Testnets: Simulated environments for testing without real financial risk.
Your Final Pre-Flight Check
Before deploying to mainnet, a thorough checklist is crucial. Remember, you can't easily change code once it's live!
- Audit Complete? Had your code reviewed by security experts?
- Tests Passed? All unit, integration, and fuzz tests are green?
- Gas Optimized? Have you minimized transaction costs?
- Dependencies Checked? All external contract addresses are correct?
