# Verifying Contracts
The contributor-operated block explorer at supports contract verification, allowing you to share your smart contracts' source code, methods, and ABIs with users and developers through the explorer itself.
Another 3rd-party operated block explorer at supports smart contract verification with a native UI for Sourcify.
## Verifying with Sourcify
At present, the explorer only supports contract verification via Sourcify. To verify a contract, follow these steps:
1. Navigate to the contract you would like to verify on the Canto block explorer.
2. On the *Code* tab, click *Verify & Publish.*
3. Select verification via Sourcify and click *Next.*
4. Import or upload your project's source files and metadata.
* For Hardhat, include the JSON file located at `artifacts/build-info`/
* For Truffle, include the JSON file located at `build/contracts/`
5. Click *Verify & publish.* The contract will become verified within several minutes.
You can also verify contracts through the [Sourcify website](https://sourcify.dev/#/verifier). For more information on how to do so, as well as guidelines on how partial matches, libraries, and more are handled, see the [documentation](https://docs.sourcify.dev/docs/how-to-verify/).
