Sample Hardhat Project

This project showcases a basic Hardhat setup, including a sample contract, a test suite for the contract, and an Ignition module for contract deployment.

Features

• Sample Contract: Includes a sample smart contract to demonstrate basic functionality.
• Contract Testing: Comes with tests for verifying the contract’s behavior.
• Deployment with Ignition: Utilizes the Hardhat Ignition module to deploy the contract.

API Key Dependencies

This project requires several API keys for various services. Ensure you have the following environment variables configured:

• ETHERSCAN_API_KEY: Used to interact with the Etherscan API for verifying and interacting with smart contracts on the Ethereum blockchain. You can get your API key from Etherscan.

  npx hardhat vars set ETHERSCAN_API_KEY

• DEV_PRIVATE_KEY: The private key for the development account used in your Hardhat local environment. This key is used to deploy contracts and interact with the blockchain locally.

  npx hardhat vars set DEV_PRIVATE_KEY

• INFURA_API_KEY: Used to connect to the Ethereum network via Infura. This key allows you to interact with Ethereum nodes and access the network for development and deployment purposes. Obtain your API key from Infura.

  npx hardhat vars set INFURA_API_KEY
