Manifest Verification Before Deploy

Back to Deploying Contracts

Overview

Before deploying to TestNet or MainNet, verify the manifest:

# Check contract name
jq '.name' build/MyContract.manifest.json

# Check permissions are not overly broad
jq '.permissions' build/MyContract.manifest.json

# Check supported standards
jq '.supportedstandards' build/MyContract.manifest.json

# Check all method signatures
jq '.abi.methods[] | {name, parameters: [.parameters[].type], returntype, safe}' \
  build/MyContract.manifest.json

# Check events
jq '.abi.events[] | {name, parameters: [.parameters[].type]}' \
  build/MyContract.manifest.json

TIP

For production contracts, always compile with --deny-wildcard-contracts --deny-wildcard-methods to ensure the manifest has minimal permissions. See Compile Workflow for details.
