Confusion when creating an Ethereum contract: Unsure when my contract was deployed

As a user of the popular Ethereum blockchain, I recently found myself in a bind. After deploying a new contract on Fuji Testnet about 3 hours ago, I made a serious mistake that left me baffled. The address associated with my newly created contract is: 0xDb3F493F9D4CdaaDA08E30957c59a0e01CfB2af0.

My problem lies in the fact that I received an expected set of transactions and events from Snowtrace, a popular decentralized analytics platform. The expected output was as follows:

Expected: [Insert list of expected records]

However, when I checked the deployment status of my contract on Fuji Testnet, I noticed something was wrong. The contract’s deployment status does not match Snowtrace’s expected records.

I’m wondering if I accidentally created a faulty contract or made a fatal error during deployment. I’ve tried to fix the problem, but I’m still stumped.

A closer look at my contract’s deployment

To better understand what went wrong, I decided to take a closer look at my contract’s deployment status. While checking the contract code and bytecode, I noticed that I had made a mistake in the “Address” field of the contract’s constructor function.

According to the Ethereum documentation, the address field should be set to the default network or testnet address. However, in my case, I accidentally set it to a nonexistent address on the Fuji Testnet.

A message from the Snowtrace community

I reached out to the Snowtrace community and asked them for help in resolving this issue. One of the experts on their team provided some valuable advice:

“I’m sorry you’re having trouble deploying your contract. Be sure to check your contract’s constructor function code, especially the “Address” field. Also, make sure you have verified your contract address using Snowtrace or other reliable sources.”

Next Steps

To resolve this issue, I plan to take the following steps:

• Recheck my contract’s deployment status and make sure all fields are set correctly.

• Contact Snowtrace for further support and guidance on how to resolve the issue.

• Update and redeploy my contract code to make sure everything is correct.
