🚀 Overview

This repository demonstrates how to deploy and interact with smart contracts on the =nil; blockchain using Hardhat and our custom plugin. The =nil; blockchain is an Ethereum Layer 2 solution based on zk-sharding, enhancing transaction efficiency and scalability.

🔧 Installation

Clone the Repository:

git clone https://github.com/NilFoundation/nil-hardhat-example.git
cd nil-hardhat-example

Install Dependencies:

npm install

⚙️ Configuration

1. Create a .env file in the root directory based on the given .env.example file.
2. Update the .env file with the RPC URL. The default value corresponds to a locally running =nil; node.
3. Generate a private key and wallet using nil_cli:

   nil_cli keygen new
   nil_cli wallet new

4. Update the .env file with the private key and wallet address.

Note: If you don't specify a wallet address, the Hardhat plugin can create a default wallet linked to the private key. Therefore, only the private key is required.

🎯 Usage

To run all tests, use the following command:

npm run tests

Make sure to configure .env with the RPC URL and PRIVATE_KEY.
