Today I deployed 5 smart contracts to the mainnet, each with its own proxy. I used the following methods:

await upgrades.deployProxy(await ethers.getContractFactory(CONTRACT_NAME_HERE))

When I went to verify the byte code on etherscan I was NOT met with the usual:

Note: This contract matches the deployed ByteCode of the Source Code for Contract 0x343a1cae36b1ca047b24fc2780869dc2c1b84137

Instead I was met with:

Note: We also found another 5 contracts with exact matching byte codes

Upon further digging, the byte code on etherscan matches the byte code found in the following file:

node_modules/@openzeppelin/upgrades-core/artifacts/AdminUpgradeabilityProxy.json

My theory is as follows:

  1. The byte code produced by AdminUpgradeabilityProxy is different from the byte code etherscan looks for

  2. Because of above I am not shown that it’s a proxy and thus cannot verify the implementation contract

Questions:

  1. Was a different compiler used when AdminUpgradeabilityProxy was compiled to produce AdminUpgradeabilityProxy.json? Here https://etherscan.io/address/0x343a1cae36b1ca047b24fc2780869dc2c1b84137#code it says v0.6.8+commit.0bbfe453 is used.

  2. Did the source code and the compiler change?

  3. How can this issue be resolved on etherscan?

Hi @jonericcook, it seems I was just able to verify your contracts on Etherscan.

Sorry about the trouble. We’re working to automate this soon!
