Cobotium Mainnet Deployment Guide

This guide provides detailed instructions for deploying your Cobotium token program to the Solana mainnet.

Pre-Deployment Checklist

Before deploying to mainnet, ensure you have completed the following:

Security Audit

  • Code review completed ✓
  • Security vulnerabilities addressed ✓
  • Overflow protection implemented ✓
  • Freeze functionality tested ✓
  • External audit completed (recommended) !

Testing

  • All functionality tested on devnet !
  • Edge cases tested !
  • Performance testing completed !
  • Stress testing completed !

Documentation

  • User documentation completed ✓
  • Developer documentation completed ✓
  • Monitoring documentation completed ✓
  • Website documentation updated !

Deployment Process

Step 1: Final Build

Build the program for deployment:

cd cobotium-program
cargo build-bpf --release

This will create the program binary at target/deploy/cobotium_program.so.

Step 2: Program Keypair

Generate a keypair for your program (if not already done):

solana-keygen new -o cobotium-program-keypair.json
IMPORTANT: Back up this keypair securely. It is required for any future program upgrades.

Recommended backup methods:

  • Hardware security module
  • Multiple encrypted backups in separate physical locations
  • Paper backup in a secure location

Step 3: Fund the Deployer Account

Ensure your deployer account has sufficient SOL for deployment:

solana balance --keypair <PATH_TO_DEPLOYER_KEYPAIR>

If needed, transfer SOL to the deployer account:

solana transfer --keypair <FUNDING_KEYPAIR> <DEPLOYER_ADDRESS> <AMOUNT_SOL> --allow-unfunded-recipient

Step 4: Deploy to Mainnet

Switch to the mainnet endpoint:

solana config set --url https://api.mainnet-beta.solana.com

Deploy the program:

solana program deploy --keypair <PATH_TO_DEPLOYER_KEYPAIR> --program-id cobotium-program-keypair.json target/deploy/cobotium_program.so

This command will output the program ID. Save this ID as it will be needed for all interactions with your program.

Post-Deployment Verification

Verify Deployment

Verify that the program was deployed successfully:

solana program show <PROGRAM_ID>

This should display information about your deployed program, including:

  • Program ID
  • Owner
  • Program data account
  • Last deployed slot

Functional Testing

Perform basic functional tests to ensure the program is working correctly:

  1. Create a mint:

    ./target/release/cobotium-cli --rpc-url https://api.mainnet-beta.solana.com --program-id <PROGRAM_ID> create-mint --mint-keypair <KEYPAIR_PATH> --decimals 9

  2. Create a token account:

    ./target/release/cobotium-cli --rpc-url https://api.mainnet-beta.solana.com --program-id <PROGRAM_ID> create-account --account-keypair <KEYPAIR_PATH> --mint <MINT_ADDRESS> --owner <OWNER_ADDRESS>

  3. Mint tokens:

    ./target/release/cobotium-cli --rpc-url https://api.mainnet-beta.solana.com --program-id <PROGRAM_ID> mint-tokens --mint <MINT_ADDRESS> --account <ACCOUNT_ADDRESS> --mint-authority <AUTHORITY_KEYPAIR> --amount <AMOUNT>

Website Integration

Update your website at cobotium.io with the following information:

Program Information

  • Program ID
  • Deployment date
  • Current version

Explorer Links

Add links to Solana explorers for your program:

Ongoing Maintenance

Monitoring

Start your monitoring system:

cd monitoring
pm2 start monitor.js

Refer to the Monitoring Guide for detailed instructions.

Regular Health Checks

Schedule regular health checks:

  1. Daily:

    • Check program logs for errors
    • Verify transaction volume is within expected range

  2. Weekly:

    • Perform basic functionality tests
    • Review account growth

  3. Monthly:

    • Comprehensive security review
    • Performance optimization review
