This documentation provides complete guidance for verifying your smart contracts using our web interface, API endpoints, Hardhat, and Foundry.
0. How It Works
Somnia Explorer operates a comprehensive API server that includes all stable Solidity compiler versions (excluding nightly builds). Our verification system supports multiple methods to accommodate different development workflows:
- Single File Verification: For simple contracts contained in one source file
- Multi-Part File Verification: For complex contracts with multiple dependencies
- Standard JSON Input: The recommended method with complete compilation metadata
- API Verification: Submit verification requests programmatically through REST endpoints
- Hardhat Verification: Verify contracts directly from your Hardhat environment using the Somnia Explorer API
- Foundry Verification: Verify contracts from the command line with Foundry’s
forge verify-contract command
Verification Process
- Input Processing: We receive your contract information through web interface or API
- Compilation: Our system compiles your source code using the specified compiler version
- Response Generation: Verification results are returned with contract details
💡 Recommendation: We strongly recommend using Standard JSON Input as it provides the most comprehensive information about your code, including optimizer settings and complete compilation metadata.
