Error! Invalid constructor arguments provided. Please verify that they are in ABI-encoded format

:memo:Details
Good afternoon!
I want to create a token that can be minted.
An error occurred while adding source code to etherscan: Error! Invalid constructor arguments provided. Please verify that they are in ABI-encoded format
Please tell me what the problem is and how to solve it? I am new to this issue.

If you remove the inheritance from ERC20Mintable, the source code will be added. Together with the inheritance - no.

Thank you for your help!

Hi @DaniilSergeevich,

The NewCoins contract has no constructor arguments. Etherscan verification is incorrectly picking up that there might be.

When verifying on Etherscan, remove all text from the Constructor Arguments field on the verification form as there are no constructor arguments

Note: Unable to determine contructor arguments, please check and replace with correct values (526f6c65733a206163636f756e7420697320746865207a65726f2061646472657373)

The contract should then verify.

I was able to verify the contract on Ropsten: https://ropsten.etherscan.io/address/0xbd8b102528a1019dccf5119a6dee03e343e0443c#code

As an aside, you are creating a mintable contract and also minting tokens in the constructor. I assume this is what you intended.

Hi @mufasa,

I recommend the following method to verify: Verify smart contract inheriting from OpenZeppelin Contracts

If you are using a flattened contract then you can encode your constructor parameters using: https://abi.hashex.org/

If you continue to run into issues, please create a new topic with your Solidity code, contract address, network, Solidity version, constructor parameters and whether optimization was used.

Many thanks! It worked.

Same error is coming in my contract while verification, the developer is blaming me that I ruin the code by verifying 3-4 times with wrong information, is it possibile ,smart contract ruin if it goes 3-4 times verify with wrong info? Plzz help me

Hi, welcome! :wave:

I do not think so, at least to the best of my knowledge.

Tried, but failed, maybe this is not your original source code.

Soo it’s developer fault ? Bcz he is saying I do this by doing wrong info

Emmmm, no matter who wants to verify a contract, he should provide the source code. I tried some times, but they all failed, so I think the code you provided above is not the source code.
And I do not think failed to verify contracts can do damage to the contract.
