Verified Contracts

Discover a curated list of contracts verified on the XDC blockchain.
Here's why it matters:

• Transparency: Open-sourcing smart contracts boosts trust and transparency. With code accessible to all, community members can scrutinize, suggest improvements, and build trust in the project.
• Security: Verified contracts undergo thorough scrutiny, enhancing security. More eyes on the code mean vulnerabilities are more likely to be spotted, though this openness also invites potential exploits.
• Innovation & Adoption: Open-source code fosters innovation and adoption. Developers can fork, enhance, and build upon verified contracts, fueling a dynamic developer ecosystem and accelerating learning and adoption rates.

Verify & Publish Contract Source Code

When tracking our contract on the XDC Network, we can do so by either using the last transaction hash or by pasting the contract’s address into the search bar of the XDC Network - BlocksScan Explorer. However, upon clicking the Contract tab, only the contract’s bytecode is displayed. This indicates that to utilize it via this block explorer, we must “verify” our smart contract on the XDC Network.

If the contract address isn't automatically filled in, input it into the first field. Choose "Contract Licence" and then, from the “Compiler Type” dropdown, select “Solidity (Flattened Source Code)”. Next, in the “Compiler” dropdown, select the Solidity compiler version used for compiling the smart contract before deployment, such as version 0.8.18. Proceed to select the appropriate "EVM Version".

Now, paste the contract’s source code into the “Source Code” input box and click on the “Verify and Publish” button.

Gas prices on XDC Network

You can check the gas prices before starting a transaction via the XDC Gas Tracker feature. This tool accurately predicts the level of congestion or traffic on the network and estimates how much a transaction will cost.

As mentioned, gas on the XDC is measured in Gwei or giga-wei. Wei is the smallest indivisible unit of XDC and has become a term for describing the amount paid for a successful transaction by XDC community members.

To check gas prices before a transaction, visit the XDC Gas Tracker tool. The tool displays three options — Low, Average, and High price options, each with varying Gwei prices. The tool also displays an estimated cost of transactions based on the asset, platform, or token used.
