Ethereum: Setting up a Polygon Treaty Treaty takes a long time, really long
I write this article as a cautious story for developers’ colleagues trying to deploy smart contracts with NFT collections using the popular Ethereum Blockchain and Polygon Network. It is not uncommon for new projects to face problems, but those concerning are often long -term problems that can prevent their development development.
In my case, about two hours ago, I deployed a contract with the ERC-721 NFT collection on Polygon, and yet it is still not visible on the platform. Initially, this caused me concern, because visibility is necessary to attract users and stakeholders into our project. However, after a deeper digging into the process of deployment, I realized that several factors contribute to my problem.
Understanding the deployment process
When deploying a contract using solidity (programming language used in Ethereum) to Polygon, you must follow the following steps:
- Build your code : Write and compile your intelligent contract using a tool such as truffle or remix.
- Complete the contract : Use the library as Openzeppelin to deploy a Polygon Mainet contract.

Problem by hand
After compiling and deploying my code, I noticed that the contract was successfully deployed, but on the Scan Polygon Scan platform was not visible for several reasons:
1.
- Incorrect deployment settings : Deployment settings have been set incorrectly, leading to a delay in the visibility of the contract.
- Network latency : Among the main and polygon there were problems with the latency of the network, which caused the contract to last longer than expected.
Solution
I took the following steps to solve my problem:
1.
- Fixed Deployment Settings : I have repaired the deployment settings to match the Polygon network requirements.
- Reduced latency : I reduced the latency of the network by means of a local development environment and creating my own ending point API on the polygon.
Conclusion
Deploying smart NFT collections using polygon can be difficult, but it may not be. By understanding the deployment process and identifying potential problems, developers can take steps to solve problems and increase the visibility of their projects. Be sure to optimize your contract for the destination chain, correct deployment settings and reduce network latency.
tips and tricks
- Use local development environment to test and deploy contracts before deploying to Mainnet.
- Set your own API endpoints to polygon to improve performance and reduce latency.
- Optimize contracts for the destination chain using the appropriate libraries and tools.
- Regularly check the platform for scanning polygon, whether it contains problems or errors that can affect visibility.
