Source code verification provides a way for projects to open source their smart contract code for end users to inspect and verify that it does what it claims to do.
By uploading source code, BscScan will match the compiled contract bytecode with that on the blockchain and display it under the **** tab.
For repeated or multiple verification of contracts, it may be more productive to programmatically verify your contracts through an .
The tools needed to follow along with this guide is , an API development application and a valid
Point your API request URL to https://api.bscscan.com/api and set your request method to POST.
If you'd like to deploy this to the BNB Smart Chain testnet, replace the request URL with https://api-testnet.bscscan.com/api
Under the Request Body, set the format to x-www-form-urlencoded.
Include your API key under the apikey field, set the module to contract, and action to verifysourcecode.
Paste your contract source code under the sourceCode parameter.
If your contract uses "imports", you will need to concatenate the code into one file ( otherwise known as "flattening" ) as we do not support "imports" in separate files.
Configure the details of your deployed contract such as contractname, compilerversion, optimizationUsed and so on.
You have to specify the fields marked as required, and optional fields if applicable to your contract.
contractaddress
Required
contract address, eg. 0x4c113f627fe35231fd11131a9974b9a99f584cb6
codeformat
Required
solidity-single-file by default, or solidity-standard-json-input
contractname
Required
contract name, eg HelloWorld
compilerversion
Required
compiler version used, eg. v0.7.6+commit.7338295f
optimizationUsed
Required
use 0 for no optimization, and 1 if optimization was used
runs
Optional
the no. of runs if optimization was used, eg. 200
constructorArguements
Optional
evmversion
Optional
leave blank for default compiler, specify if others such as tangerineWhistle, spuriousDragon, byzantium etc
licenseType
Optional
default value of 1 indicating No License
libraryname
Optional
library used in contract, eg. SafeMath
supports up to 10 different libraries
libraryaddress
Optional
library address eg. 0xCfE28868F6E0A24b7333D22D8943279e76aC2cdc
a matching pair of libraryname - libraryaddress must be provided
Upon sending your request, you should receive a GUID ( 50 characters ) as your submission receipt.
Examples of Solidity flatteners that can be used are by or by
see BscScan's
for contracts that were created with constructor parameters, using .
an integer between 1 - 12, see for all options
The final body sample request using in Postman will resemble this.
You may check the status of your source code verification using the "" endpoint. The average processing time is between 30 - 60 seconds.
Upon successful verification , users will be able to interact with your contract on BscScan and it will be listed under the page.
