Crane Deployment Patterns

Crane uses a two-factory system for deterministic cross-chain deployments of Diamond proxies.

Factory Hierarchy

Create3Factory                    # Deploys facets, packages, and any contract
    └── DiamondPackageCallBackFactory   # Deploys Diamond proxy instances from packages

Deployment Flow

Step 1: Initialize Factories

In test setUp() or deployment scripts:

(ICreate3Factory factory, IDiamondPackageCallBackFactory diamondFactory) =
    InitDevService.initEnv(address(this));

Step 2: Deploy Facets

Use Create3Factory to deploy facets with deterministic addresses:

IFacet erc20Facet = factory.deployFacet(
    type(ERC20Facet).creationCode,
    abi.encode(type(ERC20Facet).name)._hash()  // Salt from name hash
);

Step 3: Deploy Package

Deploy package with facet references in constructor:

IERC20DFPkg erc20Pkg = IERC20DFPkg(address(
    factory.deployPackageWithArgs(
        type(ERC20DFPkg).creationCode,
        abi.encode(IERC20DFPkg.PkgInit({ erc20Facet: erc20Facet })),  // Constructor args
        abi.encode(type(ERC20DFPkg).name)._hash()  // Salt
    )
));

Step 4: Deploy Diamond Proxy Instances

// Option A: Via package's deploy() helper
IERC20 token = erc20Pkg.deploy(diamondFactory, "Token", "TKN", 18, 1000e18, recipient, bytes32(0));

// Option B: Via factory directly
address proxy = diamondFactory.deploy(pkg, abi.encode(pkgArgs));

Key Components

Create3Factory Methods

deployFacet()

Deploy a facet (no constructor args):

IFacet facet = factory.deployFacet(
    type(MyFacet).creationCode,
    salt
);

deployPackageWithArgs()

Deploy a package with constructor arguments:

IDiamondFactoryPackage pkg = IDiamondFactoryPackage(address(
    factory.deployPackageWithArgs(
        type(MyPkg).creationCode,
        abi.encode(IMyPkg.PkgInit({ ... })),  // Constructor args
        salt
    )
));

deploy()

Deploy any contract:

address deployed = factory.deploy(
    creationCode,
    salt
);

Salt Calculation

Always derive salt from type name for deterministic addresses:

using BetterEfficientHashLib for bytes;

bytes32 salt = abi.encode(type(MyContract).name)._hash();

This ensures:

• Same address across all EVM chains
• Predictable deployment addresses
• No salt collision between different contracts

DiamondPackageCallBackFactory Flow

1. User calls factory.deploy(pkg, pkgArgs)
2. Factory calculates deterministic address via pkg.calcSalt(pkgArgs)
3. Factory deploys MinimalDiamondCallBackProxy via CREATE2
4. Proxy calls back to factory's initAccount()
5. Factory delegatecalls pkg.initAccount() to initialize storage
6. Factory calls pkg.postDeploy() for any post-deployment hooks

FactoryService Pattern

Group related deployments in FactoryService libraries:

library MyFeatureFactoryService {
    using BetterEfficientHashLib for bytes;
    Vm constant vm = Vm(VM_ADDRESS);

    function deployMyFacet(ICreate3Factory factory) internal returns (IFacet) {
        IFacet facet = factory.deployFacet(
            type(MyFacet).creationCode,
            abi.encode(type(MyFacet).name)._hash()
        );
        vm.label(address(facet), type(MyFacet).name);  // Always label!
        return facet;
    }
}

See references/factory-service-examples.md for complete examples.

Test Setup Pattern

contract MyTest is CraneTest {
    IFacet myFacet;
    IMyDFPkg myPkg;

    function setUp() public override {
        super.setUp();  // Initializes factories

        // Deploy facet
        myFacet = create3Factory.deployFacet(
            type(MyFacet).creationCode,
            abi.encode(type(MyFacet).name)._hash()
        );
        vm.label(address(myFacet), "MyFacet");

        // Deploy package
        myPkg = IMyDFPkg(address(
            create3Factory.deployPackageWithArgs(
                type(MyDFPkg).creationCode,
                abi.encode(IMyDFPkg.PkgInit({ myFacet: myFacet })),
                abi.encode(type(MyDFPkg).name)._hash()
            )
        ));
        vm.label(address(myPkg), "MyDFPkg");
    }
}
