Scroll: How to Deploy Uniswap V3 on Scroll

---

Uniswap V3 is one of the Ethereum ecosystem's most advanced decentralized exchanges (DEXs), with concentrated liquidity, customized fee levels, and other features that improve liquidity provisioning efficiency. Deploying Uniswap V3 on Scroll, an Ethereum Layer 2 scaling solution, can lower transaction costs while increasing transaction throughput, making it an excellent platform for trading and liquidity provision.

We'll explain the steps of deploying Uniswap V3 on Scroll, from configuring your development environment to interacting with your deployed contracts. For more about smart contracts, visit our smart contract development services. 

Step to Deploy Uniswap V3 on Scroll

Prerequisites

Before we begin, ensure you have the following:

Basic understanding of Solidity and Ethereum development: Experience with smart contracts, Solidity, and tools such as Hardhat and Truffle.

Node.js Installed: You will require Node.js and npm (or yarn) to handle dependencies.

Scroll Alpha TestNet Account: If you haven't already, sign up for Scroll's Alpha Testnet to receive testnet Ethereum for deployment.

Metamask Wallet: To connect to Scroll's Alpha Testnet, use Metamask.

Step 1: Setting Up the Development Environment

First, we'll set up our development environment. For this deployment, we'll be using Hardhat, a popular Ethereum development environment.
 

Initialize a New Hardhat Project:

bash
mkdir uniswap-v3-on-scroll
cd uniswap-v3-on-scroll
npx hardhat

Follow the prompts to create a new Hardhat project.

Install Necessary Dependencies:

Next, install the required dependencies for Uniswap V3 and Scroll.

bash
npm install @uniswap/v3-core @uniswap/v3-periphery @scroll/scroll-sdk ethers

Step 2: Configuring Hardhat for Scroll

To deploy on Scroll, you'll need to configure Hardhat to connect to the Scroll Alpha Testnet.

Update hardhat.config.js:

Replace the contents of your hardhat.config.js with the following configuration:

javascript
Copy code
require("@nomiclabs/hardhat-ethers");
module.exports = {
 solidity: "0.7.6",
 networks: {
   scrollAlpha: {
     url: "https://alpha-rpc.scroll.io",
     accounts: [`0x${process.env.PRIVATE_KEY}`],
   },
 },
};

Replace PRIVATE_KEY with your private key from Metamask. Make sure to store your private key securely.

Add Scroll Network to Metamask:

In Metamask, manually add the Scroll Alpha Testnet:

Network Name: Scroll Alpha Testnet
RPC URL: https://alpha-rpc.scroll.io
Chain ID: 534354
Currency Symbol: ETH

Step 3: Deploying Uniswap V3 Contracts

Now, let's deploy the Uniswap V3 core contracts and the periphery contracts to Scroll.

Create a Deployment Script:

Create a new file scripts/deploy.js and add the following code:

javascript
Copy code
const { ethers } = require("hardhat");
async function main() {
 const [deployer] = await ethers.getSigners();
 console.log("Deploying contracts with the account:", deployer.address);
 const Factory = await ethers.getContractFactory("UniswapV3Factory");
 const factory = await Factory.deploy();
 await factory.deployed();
 console.log("Uniswap V3 Factory deployed to:", factory.address);
 // You can deploy other contracts like the Router and Quoter here
}
main()
 .then(() => process.exit(0))
 .catch((error) => {
   console.error(error);
   process.exit(1);
 });

Deploy the Contracts:

Run the deployment script using Hardhat:

bash
npx hardhat run scripts/deploy.js --network scrollAlpha

This script will deploy the Uniswap V3 Factory contract to the Scroll Alpha Testnet.

Step 4: Verifying the Deployment

After deploying the contracts, you can verify them using Etherscan for Scroll (if available) or by interacting with them directly through Hardhat or a frontend interface.

To verify your deployment:

Interact with the Contract:

Use the Hardhat console to interact with your deployed contracts:

bash
npx hardhat console --network scrollAlpha

You can now call functions on the deployed contracts to verify their functionality.

Step 5: Integrating with a Frontend
 

To establish a user-friendly interface for engaging with your deployed Uniswap V3 on Scroll, integrate the contracts with a frontend application that uses React.js and ethers.js. This step entails configuring the frontend, connecting to the Scroll network, and enabling users to trade tokens, provide liquidity, and so forth.
