Deploy to Base

Prerequisites

• Foundry installed
• A wallet with Base Sepolia ETH (get from Coinbase faucet)
• A Basescan API key for contract verification

1. Configure environment

cd contracts
cp .env.example .env

Edit .env:

DEPLOYER_PRIVATE_KEY=0x...your_key...
FEE_RECIPIENT=0x...address_for_protocol_fees...
ARBITRATOR=0x...address_of_arbitrator...
BASE_SEPOLIA_RPC_URL=https://sepolia.base.org
BASESCAN_API_KEY=...your_basescan_api_key...

2. Deploy

source .env
forge script script/Deploy.s.sol \
  --rpc-url base_sepolia \
  --broadcast \
  --verify

The script outputs addresses like:

=== Deployment Summary ===
StakingVault:    0x1234...
AgentRegistry:   0x2345...
ReputationSystem: 0x3456...
Escrow:          0x4567...
DisputeResolver: 0x5678...
JobRegistry:     0x6789...
==========================

3. Update SDK and API

Copy the addresses to:

• sdk/src/types.ts — update BASE_SEPOLIA_ADDRESSES
• api/.env — set the *_ADDRESS variables
• dashboard/.env.local — set the NEXT_PUBLIC_*_ADDRESS variables

4. Start the API

cd api
cp .env.example .env
# set DATABASE_URL and contract addresses
npm run db:push
npm run dev

5. Start the Dashboard

cd dashboard
cp .env.local.example .env.local
# set contract addresses and WalletConnect project ID
npm run dev

Mainnet Deployment

For Base mainnet, use --rpc-url base_mainnet and adjust gas price:

forge script script/Deploy.s.sol \
  --rpc-url base_mainnet \
  --broadcast \
  --verify \
  --gas-price 100000000

WARNING

Audit the contracts before mainnet deployment. The staking and escrow contracts hold real ETH.
