Safe Singleton Factory

Singleton factory used by Safe-related contracts based on https://github.com/Arachnid/deterministic-deployment-proxy

The original library used a pre-signed transaction without a chain ID to allow deployment on different chains. Some chains do not allow such transactions to be submitted (e.g. Celo and Avalanche); therefore, this repository will provide the same factory that can be deployed via a pre-signed transaction that includes the chain ID. The key that is used to sign is controlled by the Safe team.

User documentation

Explanation (from Arachnid's repo)

This repository contains a simple contract that can deploy other contracts with a deterministic address on any chain using CREATE2. The CREATE2 call will deploy a contract (like CREATE opcode), but instead of the address being keccak256(rlp([deployer_address, nonce])) it instead uses the hash of the contract's bytecode and a salt. This means that a given deployer address will deploy the same code to the same address no matter when or where they issue the deployment. The deployer is deployed with a one-time-use account, so its address will always be the same no matter what chain the deployer is on. This means the only variables in determining your contract's address are its bytecode hash and the provided salt.

Between the use of CREATE2 opcode and the one-time-use account for the deployer, we can ensure that a given contract will exist at the exact same address on every chain, but without using the exact gas pricing or limits every time.

Encoding the deployment transaction

The data should be the 32 byte 'salt' followed by the init code.

How to get the singleton deployed to your network

As the singleton is deployed with an EIP155 transaction, we must sign the deployment transaction for your network. But some prerequisites must be met before that, and the most important one is having funds on the deployer so we can deploy the contract.

1. Make sure your network is on https://chainlist.org/ . We will not accept networks not present there.
2. Create an issue following the request for a new network template.
3. Once the issue is created, the issue will be automatically validated, and a bot will post a comment with the address of the deployer and the amount of funds needed to deploy the contract.
4. After you have sent the funds to the deployer, mark the checkbox on the issue, and the Safe team will sign the transaction and deploy the contract.

The Safe team will aim to respond to new network requests within two weeks.

Expected Addresses

For all networks, the same deployer key is used. The address for this key is 0xE1CB04A0fA36DdD16a06ea828007E35e1a3cBC37.

This results in the address for the factory being 0x914d7Fec6aaC8cd542e72Bca78B30650d45643d7 for all bytecode-compatible EVM networks.

For zkSync-based networks, the same deployer is used, and the expected factory address is 0xaECDbB0a3B1C6D1Fe1755866e330D82eC81fD4FD, and the factory is deployed using the create2 method of the system deployer using the zero hash (0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000).

NPM Package release cycle

The Safe team will aim to release a new version of the package every two weeks.

Please note that the package is not required for the factory to work. The package is only a convenience for developers to use the factory. Most libraries that support deterministic deployments accept the factory address as a parameter, so you can use the factory without the package. For example, see the documentation for the deterministicDeployment option in the hardhat-deploy plugin.

Adding new networks

To generate the deployment data for a new network, the following steps are necessary:

• Set RPC in the .env file for the new network.
• Set MNEMONIC in the .env file.
• Estimate transaction params via yarn estimate
• Run yarn compile <chain_id> [--gasPrice <overwrite_gas_price>] [--gasLimit <overwrite_gas_limit>]

To do the estimate and compile steps together:

• Run yarn estimate-compile ["$RPC"]

To submit a transaction after the deployment data is created:

• Run yarn submit

For zkSync-based networks

• Set MNEMONIC or PK in the .env file
• Run yarn compile:zk
