LINK Token Deployment - Final Status

Date: 2025-01-12
Status: ⏳ DEPLOYMENT IN PROGRESS

---

Deployment Summary

A LINK token has been deployed to ChainID 138 using the Ethereum Mainnet canonical LINK token as a reference.

---

Deployment Details

Deployed Address

• Address: 0xd6969bC19b53f866C64f2148aE271B2Dae0C58E4
• Status: ⏳ Pending network confirmation
• Gas Used: 20 gwei
• Method: forge script with --broadcast --skip-simulation

Token Specification

• Name: Chainlink Token
• Symbol: LINK
• Decimals: 18
• Type: ERC20 (MockLinkToken implementation)
• Chain ID: 138

---

Configuration Updates

✅ Completed

1. .env file

   • LINK_TOKEN updated to deployed address
   • Ready for use once confirmed

2. Token Lists (Pending Update)

   • Will be updated to use deployed address once confirmed
   • Currently configured with Ethereum Mainnet address

3. Database Migration

   • Migration file ready: 0009_add_link_token.up.sql
   • Will use deployed address once confirmed

---

Important Note

The deployed address (0xd6969bC19b53f866C64f2148aE271B2Dae0C58E4) is different from the Ethereum Mainnet canonical address (0x514910771AF9Ca656af840dff83E8264EcF986CA).

This is expected because:

• Contract addresses are deterministic based on deployer and nonce
• Each chain has its own address space
• The same address cannot exist on different chains

All configurations will be updated to use the actual deployed address once confirmed.

---

Next Steps (Automatic)

Once the deployment confirms:

1. ✅ Verify token deployment
2. ✅ Mint 1M LINK tokens to account
3. ✅ Fund bridges (10 LINK each)
4. ✅ Update token lists with deployed address
5. ✅ Update database migration with deployed address
6. ✅ Complete all prerequisites
