How to deploy Upgradable smart contract on Binance smart chain?

Support Upgrades

Hi @Prabhakaran,

I used the following tutorial: OpenZeppelin Upgrades: Step by Step Tutorial for Hardhat

I obtained Binance Smart Chain test Ether from the Faucet: https://testnet.binance.org/faucet-smart

I added the network to my Hardhat configuration

// hardhat.config.js
const { alchemyApiKey, mnemonic } = require('./secrets.json');

require("@nomiclabs/hardhat-ethers");
require('@openzeppelin/hardhat-upgrades');

/**
 * @type import('hardhat/config').HardhatUserConfig
 */
module.exports = {
  solidity: "0.7.3",
  networks: {
    rinkeby: {
      url: `https://eth-rinkeby.alchemyapi.io/v2/${alchemyApiKey}`,
      accounts: {mnemonic: mnemonic}
    },
    bsctestnet: {
      url: `https://data-seed-prebsc-1-s1.binance.org:8545`,
      accounts: {mnemonic: mnemonic}
    }
  }
};

I then deployed:

$ npx hardhat run --network bsctestnet scripts/deploy.js
Deploying Box...
Box deployed to: 0xBC67463898F41259d7acaC96cCD85a42c3bbe4c2

The proxy contract is:

I could then interact via the proxy using the console

$ npx hardhat console --network bsctestnet
> const Box = await ethers.getContractFactory("Box")
undefined
> const box = await Box.attach("0xBC67463898F41259d7acaC96cCD85a42c3bbe4c2")
undefined
> (await box.retrieve()).toString()
'42'
