deploy_contract(web3, contract, deployer, *constructor_args, register_for_tracing=True, gas=None, confirm=True)[source]

Deploys a new contract from ABI file.

A generic helper function to deploy any contract.

Example:

token = deploy_contract(web3, deployer, "ERC20Mock.json", name, symbol, supply)
print(f"Deployed ERC-20 token at {token.address}")

If you need to verify the deployed contract use eth_defi.foundry.forge.deploy_contract_with_forge().
