Smart Contract Code Verifier

What is an Ecosystem Project Idea?

An Ecosystem Project Idea is an idea for a project that someone could build within the Optimism ecosystem. As opposed to an Ecosystem Concept or an Ecosystem Idea, an Ecosystem Project is generally more fleshed out and corresponds to a relatively clear product to be built.

Summary

OP Mainnet and other OP Stack based chains encompass a multitude of smart contracts. It's crucial to have a tool or script that efficiently maps the code deployed on these blockchains to the code found within the corresponding GitHub repositories. This tool should be able to take a smart contract address (or list of addresses) and a commit hash and verify that the deployed code corresponds to the code from the specific commit hash.

Possible Features

• Implement a tool or UI that accepts user inputs for L1 network name, contract address, and commit hash.
• Allow the tool to download the corresponding GitHub repository at the specified commit hash and initialize it.
• Compile contracts and compare the bytecode of the deployed contract with the actual bytecode.
• Design the tool to handle proxies if necessary.
• Throw alerts if unable to match the deployed code to what's in GitHub.

Impact

• Enhances the safety of smart contract deployments by validating the origin of deployed code.
• Improves auditability by providing an explicit link between the codebase in the repository and the deployed smart contracts.
