Use EVM-compatible chains

Starting from 4.0.0 version, Tronbox supports deploying contracts on EVM-compatible blockchains.

Configuration file

The configuration file for EVM related configurations is named tronbox-evm-config.js and is located in the root directory of the project directory. The file content is as follows:

module.exports = {
  networks: {
    bttc: {
      privateKey: 'your private key',
      fullHost: 'https://rpc.bt.io',
      gas: 8500000, // Gas sent with each transaction
      gasPrice: '500000000000000', // 500,000 gwei (in wei)
      network_id: '1'
    },
    development: {
      privateKey: 'your private key',
      fullHost: 'http://127.0.0.1:8545',
      network_id: '*'
    }
  },
  compilers: {
    solc: {
      version: '0.8.7',
      settings: {
        optimizer: {
          enabled: true,
          runs: 200
        },
        evmVersion: 'istanbul'
      }
    }
  }
};

Compile the contract

In order to deploy to an EVM-compatible blockchain, you need to use an EVM version of the compiler to compile the contract. Please run the following command:

tronbox compile --evm

After adding the --evm parameter to the compilation command, the solc version configured in the tronbox-evm-config.js file will be used for compilation.

Deploy the contract

Deploy to an EVM-compatible blockchain, such as the BTTC network. Please configure in the configuration file and run the following command:

tronbox migrate --network bttc --evm

After adding the --evm parameter to the deployment contract command, the network version configured in the tronbox-evm-config.js file will be used for deployment.
For details of the deployment script, pleaase see Contract Deployment(Migration) .

Test contract

To run the test on an EVM-compatible blockchain, please run the following command:

tronbox test --evm

After adding the --evm parameter to the test contract command, the network version configured in the tronbox-evm-config.js file will be used for testing. For more information about the test script, please see Testing Your Contracts .
