Configuring Hardhat

Hardhat is a comprehensive Ethereum development framework designed to facilitate the development lifecycle of smart contracts with features for editing, compiling, debugging, and deploying.

Integrate Hardhat seamlessly into your development workflow for the Chain network to leverage its robust toolset for smart contract creation and deployment.

Adapting Hardhat for the deployment of smart contracts on the Chain network involves adding Chain-specific configurations to your hardhat.config.ts. This setup enables deployment across different environments, including mainnet, testnet, and a local development network.

Configurations​

Adjust your project's hardhat.config.ts with the following network settings tailored for the Chain network:

networks: {
   // Sepolia testnet
   "chain-sepolia": {
     url: "https://rpc-sepolia.zentachain.io",
     accounts: [process.env.PRIVATE_KEY as string],
     gasPrice: 1000000000,
   },
   // Local development
   "chain-local": {
     url: "http://localhost:8545",
     accounts: [process.env.PRIVATE_KEY as string],
     gasPrice: 1000000000,
   },
 },
 defaultNetwork: "chain-local",
