# verify and publish

rinkeby etherscan > go to contract address > ![](/files/NwKYiwFe57XAyAkY6VC5)

![](/files/ACSQcvmhkz1oxqRGS81F)

* input into brownie in .env file:

![](/files/YuAd7kuSQvEQ52yZb71C)

* in deploy.py, edit your deploy statement like so:

![](/files/Rg9OM6PP2WEIkkK9kL1B)

now rerun brownie run deploy.py --network rinkeby
