When I deploy a program when initializing the solana-test-validator what account technically deployed the contract?

Is it the account that receives the genesis tokens? Or is it another address?

I'm deploying the contract like so when starting the validator:

solana-test-validator -r --mint E2F3fsS1HpsLb2VpEgsA5ztfo83CWFWW4jWpC6FvJ6qR --bpf-program J2bPahVXAHqLvc3TUKeJMxfhKWymh4C7mM1PZm4FfpKU ../program/target/deploy/program.so

Usually it's the one in your config.

You may check the config with

solana config get

Look for the keypair path and use:

solana address --keypair <path to keypair in config>

Or easiest is

solana address

It's almost always the one in your config

The answer is actually "no account"! The program accounts through --bpf-program are part of the genesis accounts on the chain, so there's no actual deployment performed.
