Summary

Line 188 of docs/deployment.md currently instructs deployers to check gas prices on ethgasstation.info, but that domain has been dead since around 2023:

```
$ curl -sI https://ethgasstation.info/
HTTP/2 403
server: cloudflare
```

A deployer following this doc today lands on a Cloudflare-parked page and has no way to check gas prices as instructed.

Change

One line updated to point to two live alternatives: Etherscan Gas Tracker (widely used industry standard) and the OpenChainBench gas benchmark (independent multi-provider gas oracle accuracy comparison, CC BY 4.0 open data). No other changes.

Disclosure

I maintain OpenChainBench. Happy to swap the second reference for any other live gas oracle if that fits the doc style guide better, or drop it entirely and keep only the Etherscan Gas Tracker reference.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Updated deployment guidance to use Etherscan Gas Tracker and OpenChainBench for current gas-price information (replacing the previous source).
    • Kept the rule of thumb that gas prices above 30 gwei may require sending additional ETH.

If this passes successfully it will print the deployer address and the current ETH balance. Next:

1. Send at least 6 ETH to this address (check ethgasstation.info; if gas prices are > 30gwei then we may need more)
1. Send at least 6 ETH to this address (check current gas prices on [Etherscan Gas Tracker](https://etherscan.io/gastracker) or the [OpenChainBench gas benchmark](https://openchainbench.com/benchmarks/gas-estimation); if gas prices are > 30gwei then we may need more)

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Use a direct gas-price tracker for the second reference.

The linked OpenChainBench page measures gas-oracle prediction accuracy and explicitly distinguishes that from selecting an oracle or reporting a current gas price. It may therefore mislead operators deciding how much ETH to fund. Replace it with a direct fee-estimate source or clarify exactly which metric should be used. (openchainbench.com)
