[!IMPORTANT] This dataset is no longer kept up to date. The chain-specific sub-repos stopped receiving new contracts between 2023 and mid-2024, so anything verified after that is missing here.

For a larger and continuously updated dataset of verified contracts, have a look at Sourcify and its open, freely available repository: https://docs.sourcify.dev/docs/repository/

^{Smart Contract Sanctuary - MultiRepo / Index
⚠️UPDATE: Repo layout changed! see #13 (v1-layout)}

Smart Contract Sanctuary

🐦🌴🌴🌴🦕 A home for ethereum smart contracts verified on Etherscan. 🏠

^{⇝ This is the index repository for the smart-contract-sanctuary. 🔖 Bookmark this repo.
⇝ Expect a full, recursive check-out to take 2GB+ disk space.}

Usage

The repo is configured for use with git+ssh (much more stable and faster).

First time - clone the index and checkout all chain-specific sub repositories from scratch:

⇒  git clone --recursive --depth=1 git@github.com:tintinweb/smart-contract-sanctuary.git

_{also see https://git-scm.com/docs/git-submodule for more options}

Existing repository but submodules never initialized - checkout submodules and update all chain-specific sub repositories:

⇒  git submodule update --init --remote --depth=1 --progress

Existing repository with submodules - update all chain-specific sub repositories:

⇒  git submodule update --remote --progress

Layout

📂 <chain>/contracts

Contains smart contract sources for various networks, grouped by the first two chars of the contract address. Files are named in the format <address>_<source_unit_name>, e.g. 0f0c3fedb6226cd5a18826ce23bec92d18336a98_URToken.sol

Some contracts are listed in contracts.json, but the file-system may contain more files than what is listed in this summary. Rely on the folder/file structure for a full list. This repo used to auto submit contracts to 4byte.directory.

📂 <chain>/utils

Support scripts for various activies like dumping smart contracts from public sources (etherscan.io, etherchain.com)

requires: pip install -r requirements.txt

Dev Notes

To use List of Verified Contract addresses with an OpenSource license, you can download the csv file, add it to the util folder, and run parse_download_contracts_etherscan_io.py (with your etherscan API). This will add the new contracts to the appropriate folder

👩‍🔬 Data Science Tools

• 🧠 SolGrep - A scriptable semantic grep utility for solidity (crunch numbers, find specific contracts, extract data)
• 🐞 semgrep - Semgrep is a fast, open-source, static analysis tool for finding bugs and enforcing code standards at editor, commit, and CI time, and now supports Solidity! ❤️ Thanks @JoranHonig for contributing the semgrep solidity parser.
• 🌟 Sourcegraph - A powerful online code search service that can be used to search the sanctuary without cloning.
