### Publishing the IDL

Use the following command to publish the IDL.
Block explorers will then use the IDL to show decoded transactions to the user.

```sh
settlement_program_address="the IDL will be registered for the program at the address specified in this string"
npx @solana-program/program-metadata@latest write idl "$settlement_program_address" ./programs/settlement/idl/cow_settlement.json --keypair ./deployer-keypair.json
