Hardhat boilerplate

This is my personal hardhat boilerplate, that does what I basically want for every project setup:

1. Add the open zeppelin contracts
2. Add the hardhat verification plugin
3. Use dotenv
4. A sensible .gitignore
5. A scripts and contracts directory
6. A tests directory for testing
7. Just kidding I don't write tests
8. A Makefile, so I don't have to remember the hardhat commands

I know I should probably just use a yarn script in package.json, but I like Makefiles, so I added a Makefile.

Usage

You need to add a .env file at the root, with the following info:

• API_URL="https://eth-rinkeby.alchemyapi.io/v2/...": Your API for calling the blockchain
• PRIVATE_KEY="0x3...32": The private key of the account deploying the contract
• ETHERSCAN_KEY="...": You Etherscan API key, for verifying the contract. You can grab this from the etherscan website and signing in.

Possible modifications

If waiting 60 seconds for the etherscan verification is annoying, you can make a separate script to deploy without verifying, and use that for testing.
