Upgradeable Smart Contract: UUPS Proxy 🥷🏽

About

In this project, I demonstrate upgrading of a contract using the Universal Upgradable Proxy Standard (UUPS).

Notice: Publishing upgradeable smart contracts and especially if the upgrading authority is an indiviual entity is considered to be a bad practice as it introduces a centralisation factor, hence it's advice to restraint from it.

Getting Started

Requirements

• git
  • You'll know you did it right if you can run git --version and you see a response like git version x.x.x
• foundry
  • You'll know you did it right if you can run forge --version and you see a response like forge 0.2.0 (816e00b 2023-03-16T00:05:26.396218Z)

Quickstart

git clone https://github.com/alfheimrShiven/upgradeable-smart-contracts.git
cd upgradeable-smart-contracts
make start

Testing

We talk about 4 test tiers in the video.

1. Unit
2. Integration
3. Forked
4. Staging

In this repo we cover #1 & #2 tests.

forge test

Test Coverage

forge coverage

and for coverage based testing:

forge coverage --report debug

Deployment to a testnet or mainnet

1. Setup environment variables

You'll want to set your SEPOLIA_RPC_URL and SEPOLIA_PRIVATE_KEY as environment variables. You can add them to a .env file.

• SEPOLIA_PRIVATE_KEY: The private key of your account (like from metamask). NOTE: FOR DEVELOPMENT, PLEASE USE A KEY THAT DOESN'T HAVE ANY REAL FUNDS ASSOCIATED WITH IT.
  • You can learn how to export it here.
• SEPOLIA_RPC_URL: This is url of the sepolia testnet node you're working with. You can get setup with one for free from Alchemy

Optionally, add your ETHERSCAN_API_KEY if you want to verify your contract on Etherscan.

2. Get testnet ETH

Head over to faucets.chain.link and get some testnet ETH. You should see the ETH show up in your metamask.

3. Deploy Box

make deployBox ARGS="--network sepolia"

4. Upgrade Box

make upgradeBox ARGS="--network sepolia"

Estimate gas

You can estimate how much gas things cost by running:

forge snapshot

And you'll see an output file called .gas-snapshot

Formatting

To run code formatting:

forge fmt
