Sourcify provides an open-source alternative to existing proprietary source code verification tools for contractsAnyone can run their own Sourcify to trustlessly verify contracts. It's also a knowledge-gathering point for verification, whereas with close source tools, the learnings in verification and the exceptions that need to be handled are not shared with the community.The data is open. You don't need to scrape to bulk download contracts. The contract repository is published to IPFS and S3 buckets regularly. Sourcify also aims to foster the "full matches" with contract metadata hashes. This ensures cryptographic guarantees for the exactness of the contract. It's nicely demonstrated at playground.sourcify.dev.
We are raising awareness on several fronts:- Easy and open access to verified smart contracts- Benefits of Solidity's contract metadata and its appended hash in the onchain bytecode- Centralization in source code verification tools and providing alternativesWe support 109 EVM chains, among those using OP Stack e.g. OP networks, and Base. We also "monitor" those networks to catch contract creations and verify automatically if the source code is published on IPFS.
