Option to Not Hash the salt parameter

[0xkowloon]

#82

I think there should be an option to not hash the provided salt because there are cases where the salt is found by a program that finds gas-efficient contract addresses. It wouldn't work if the salt is hashed.

Thanks for opening this discussion - I would like to add an "easy" workaround; you can simply interact with the create2deployer directly through the block explorer links (or remix) if needed.

So how can you do this using xdeployer:

1. Deploy a contract to e.g. a testnet Goerli via xdeployer;
2. Copy the init_code from the deployment transaction:

3. Go to the Etherscan link of the create2deployer and deploy from there using your already hashed salt:

PS: Of course, you can also retrieve the init_code via ethers.js like that:

initcode = contract.getDeployTransaction(constructor_args);

Thanks for the tip. I ended up writing a Foundry script that calls your contract directly.

address internal constant CREATE2_FACTORY = 0x13b0D85CcB8bf860b6b79AF3029fCA081AE9beF2;

function run() public {
  (bool success, bytes memory returndata) = CREATE2_FACTORY.call(
      abi.encodeWithSelector(
          0x66cfa057, // deploy
          0, // value
          SALT,
          type(Contract).creationCode
      )
  );
}

ah nice, that's obviously also a great solution :-D
