To actually get constructor parameters you will need to get transaction details and see what was “data” that was sent or if you are using etherscan you can go to”Input Data” field and see all the bytecode there. So I will take this transaction as example https://goerli.etherscan.io/tx/0xf15cfeb9be64058ba3680a7095ca045bb7cdddc85e318921a297de36f77e48b0 and use its bytecode to dissect constructor parameters. We need to go the end of the code and find this part of codethis 0033 is the last opcode that was used before adding the constructor info. 00 means STOP and 33 means CALLER, after that, we have 4 parameters that are four addressed used for this contract constructor, each of them left padded to 32 bytes. This is what was used in hardhat when deploying and it matches the above bytecode args = [ '0xCb07bf0603da228C8ec602bf12b973b8A94f9bac', '0xF5147D56502C80004f91FB4112d6812CddE8eDE3', '0xefC5Ead3188402eCC951DB45827F6e0F99B67a25', '0xb1C7F17Ed88189Abf269Bf68A3B2Ed83C5276aAe', ]; So this part where there are constructor parameters on-chain, it can only be found in the transaction when the contract was deployed, you won’t find it in init bytecode or in the deployed bytecode which we talked about here. https://mirror.xyz/n00b21337.eth/tNVuQii_z_D-2zyFnou9Yh2Hu0U6LajweFgC4WGfI0Y So if you want to find this code and where it starts you could make a DIFF of init bytecode and bytecode used in deployment transaction creation and you will get this block of code. You could also try to just find0033 // Somewhere it Was said that in older contract this was 0029, didnt confirm by the end of the bytecode in contract creation and anything after that will be constructor arguments.
