 ### Deploy `bridge-program`
 
-Let's deploy the program.
+Let's deploy the program using anchor...
 
 ```
 $ solana config set --url localhost
 ```

-$ anchor deploy
+or else, you can update Anchor.toml `cluster = "devnet"` or `mainnet` (mainnet-beta?)
+
+you can also toggle deploying wallet by `wallet = "usb://ledger?key=1"` or `wallet = "~/.config/solana/id.json"`
+
+NOTE: that we can't deploy via Anchor as we found it not too stable, so we used the Solana CLI.
+
+- First, let's generate a new key pair that we will use to deploy the "buffer", once you have it, save it somewhere safe. You will also need a decent amount of SOL in this account (around 3 should do for this program), as it will be used as "rent" for the code. then we set this as the default solana cli wallet for now (or else it will use our standard id.json wallet). Note that on top of setting the custom wallet, you also need to confirm the RPC and config is correct for the mainnet deployment as it defaults to devnet.
+
+Update RPC for devnet/testnet/mainnet by editing the config file here:
+`vi /Users/markpaul/.config/solana/cli/config.yml` (and then check via `solana config get`)
+
+Set the default wallet like so:
+`solana config set -k /location_of/custom_wallet.json`
+
+The below keys have been backed-up in storage.
+
+[devnet]
+`solana config set -k /Users/markpaul/Documents/Source/Software/core-sol-bridge-sc/devnet_interim_first_deployer_wallet_9tSsTbCZEGMgZYALathtBbqmELY7BefFbQQ4gasXGBAo.json`

+
+- Next, we use this key pair to generate the buffer
+  `solana program write-buffer "./target/deploy/bridge_program.so"`
 
+Note that if you don't have enough SOL, then you will see some error like `Error: Account XXX has insufficient funds for spend (2.80402392 SOL) + fee (0.002 SOL)`
 
-Program Id: DRxp3EJv4hGQDze6Evf515KE1YwVgYNv6PiDp1dqF4pK
+In this situation, you need to get more SOL.. but you don't lose what you used, you can do this to close the buffer (note that this closes ALL buffers on this authority -- so if this is not the plan, then you can try and recover the buffer after increasing your SOL. The console should give you tips on how to recover the buffer when the error is hit)
+`solana program close --buffers`
 
-Deploy success
+if it's a success, the console will give us the buffer like so as an e.g. `Buffer: 85me4UW2ytQmUnzTAHtFvLoZf85D6qhzwgcvUusAByb2`
+
+[devnet]

+
+if you notice, the Deploy Authority, is our custom new HOT wallet. Maybe we want to move this to a Cold wallet for security? if so we can do this:
+
+[devnet]
+`solana program set-buffer-authority 85me4UW2ytQmUnzTAHtFvLoZf85D6qhzwgcvUusAByb2 --new-buffer-authority 4FeJ53a5QZQFroVgQ5pKFNsu7BEV5AoxHMGhsNKhETYt`

+
+- And finally, we deploy the program from the buffer:
+  [devnet]
+  `solana program deploy --program-id "./target/deploy/bridge_program-keypair.json" --buffer 85me4UW2ytQmUnzTAHtFvLoZf85D6qhzwgcvUusAByb2 --upgrade-authority "usb://ledger?key=2"`

+
+You should finally get the program deployed and see something like:
