Hardhat plugin: Deploy the same smart contract under the same address and pay only source chain gas

Hello Ethdev community! Tim here 🙂

I’d love to share this neat plugin that ChainSafe has built for Hardhat. It utilizes the Sygma interoperability protocol on the backend to enable cross-chain deployments of smart contracts:

• deploy the same smart contract across multiple evm blockchains
• all contracts get deployed with the same contract address
• all contracts get deployed and triggered from a source chain (e.g. Ethereum mainnet), so you pay only source chain gas/fees (e.g. you don’t need MATIC and XDAI if you’re deploying to polygon and gnosis respectively)

I made a video detailing how it works here: https://youtu.be/-ZB-PdEY0wg

Sharing dev-related content featuring myself is a bit outside of my wheelhouse so apologies, there’s a lot of imposter syndrome.

Hope this tool ends up being useful for devs! 😊
