 ## Getting Started
 
-🐲 **Beta Status**: This repository is in beta and actively developed in the open. While initial reviews are on-going, we welcome community engagement for wider testing and integration. As AGPL-licensed software, it's provided as-is. We encourage thorough review and testing before any production use.

 ### Deployment
 
-To deploy to the Chiado testnet:
+#### To deploy to the Chiado testnet:
 
-1. Copy `.env.example` to `.env` and set your private key and API keys.
+1. Copy `.env.example` to `.env` and set your (Chiado) private key and (Blockscout) API keys.
 2. Run the deployment script:
     ```bash
     ./script/deployments/chiadoDeploy.sh
     ```
 
+#### To deploy to Gnosis Chain mainnet:
+
+1. **Checkout out the release candidate `rc-v1.0.0-beta`**
+    ```
+    git checkout rc-v1.0.0-beta
+    ```
+2. Copy `.env.example` to `.env` and set your private key; in particular for deployment the script only requires a private key for a deployer address on Gnosis Chain (with minimal funding, deployment costs are far less than 1 XDAI):
+    ```
+    PRIVATE_KEY_GNOSIS='YOUR_PRIVATE_KEY'
+    ```
+3. Run the mainnet deployment script:
+    ```
+    cd script/deployments
+    ./gnosisChainDeploy.sh
+    ```
+    Forge SHOULD auto-configure the build parameters from the foundry.toml file,
+    but for clarity on a deterministic build, we require the following build parameters:
+    - solc compiler version: v0.8.24+commit.e11b9ed9
+    - optimization enabled: Yes
+    - Optimizer runs: 200
+    - EVM version: cancun
+    - License: GNU AGPLv3
+
+    Note that the production deployment script waits 20 seconds between each deployment,
+    so feel free to go stretch your legs.
+
+4. The deploy script will create a folder locally on your machine:
+    ```
+    <root>/script/deployments/gnosischain-rc-1.0.0-beta-<commit>-<day>-<time>/
+    ```
+    with two important files (and extra helper files):
+    - `gnosischain-artefacts-<identifier>.txt` with verification data for each deployed contract
+    - and `gnosischain-<identifier>.log` with a better human-readable summary of the deployment
+
+The deployment script should have deployed 9 contracts:   
+- Hub,
+- Migration,
+- NameRegistry,
+- ERC20Lift,
+- StandardTreasury,
+- BaseGroupMintPolicy,
+- MastercopyDemurrageERC20,
+- MastercopyInflationaryERC20 and 
+- MastercopyStandardVault
+
+### Optionally, verifying your contracts
+
+Note, as we are looking for redundant deterministic deployments, it is likely for `rc-v1.0.0-beta` that your deployment will already be recognised by the block explorers.
+
+However, in case that is not the case, below are instructions to help you get started
+
+#### Gnosis Blockscout
+
+You will need to set a `BLOCKSCOUT_API_KEY` set in the `.env` file. Go to Blockscout.com to configure your account and get an API key.
+
+An easy way to verify the contracts on `gnosis.blockscout.com` is to run the same deployment 
+on Chiado testnet (see instructions above). You will need to add a private key with testnet xdai funding on Chiado to the `.env` file.
+The Chiado deployment script will attempt to directly verify as it is deploying the contracts to Chiado through blockscout. This can intermittently fail, so we don't use these options for the mainnet deployment script. However, on Chiado, should this fail you can run it a second time. Once a contract is verified on Chaido it will also be recognised on Blockscout Gnosis Chain.
+
+### Gnosisscan
+
+WIP: there is a `verifyDeployment.sh` script which aims to verify through the gnosisscan.io API, however it has a bug where Gnosisscan does not receive the correct EVM version `cancun` and compilation on their side will fail for Hub.sol.
+
+Manually verifying on gnosisscan.io can be done, by going to your deployed address and following the instructions there.
+The required parameters are listed above in the deployment section. However to obtain a single "flattened source code file" (recommended), you can use forge as follows, eg. for Hub.sol from the project root:
+
+```
+forge flatten ./src/hub/Hub.sol -o flattened_hub.sol
+```
+
+### Sourcify
+
+(later), might also help with gnosisscan.io if they cooperate.
