 **Note:** This deployment uses the `createX` factory through Hardhat Ignition. To modify the deployment address, update the `salt` value in the `hardhat.config.json` file.
 
+## Verifying the Contract
+
+To verify the contract during deployment, include the `--verify` option in the deployment command:
+
+```sh
+npm run deploy -- --network avalancheFuji --verify
+```
+
+If the contract has already been deployed, you can verify it separately using the following command:
+
+```sh
+npx hardhat ignition verify chain-43113
+```
+
+This ensures the contract's source code is verified on the blockchain explorer for the specified network.

 ## Deployed Contract Address
 
 Refer to the `../../environments/environments.json` file to find the deployed contract address for the respective environment.
