 # Developer Tooling
 
+Deploying and interacting with EVM-based smart contracts on Astar is as easy as any other EVM-compatable network. Usually, getting set up requires two steps:
+
+1. Configuring (and funding) your Ethereum account on the respective network
+2. Adding Astar's networks to your Ethereum client
+
+> For Astar and Shiden applications, we *highly* recommend [running your own network node](../nodes/index.md) and not relying on our RPC endpoints. This further decentralizes the network, and puts you in control of your uptime requirements.
+
 ## Hardhat
 
-## Remix
+### Initialize your project
+
+If you're starting your hardhat project from scratch, we recommend reading the [Hardhat Quick Start](https://hardhat.org/getting-started/#quick-start) page.
+
+### Setting up your account
+
+The quickest way to get Hardhat to deploy contracts to a non-local testnet is to export and use an existing Metamask account.
+
+To get an account's private key from Metamask:
+
+1. Open Metamask
+2. Select the account you want to export
+3. Click the three dots on the right side
+4. Select "Account Details"
+5. Select "Export Private Key"
+6. Enter your password and select "Confirm"
+
+You should see a 64-character hex string similar to the following:
+
+`60ed0dd24087f00faea4e2b556c74ebfa2f0e705f8169733b01530ce4c619883`
+
+Create a new file in your root folder called `private.json` with your private key in it:
+
+```json
+{
+    "privateKey": "60ed0dd24087f00faea4e2b556c74ebfa2f0e705f8169733b01530ce4c619883"
+}
+```
+
+Modify your `hardhat.config.js` file to include:
+
+```js
+// hardhat.config.js
+
+// ... 
+
+const { privateKey } = require('./private.json');
+
+// ... 
+
+module.exports = {
+
+  // ... 
+
+  networks: {
+    // Shibuya faucet: use #shibuya-faucet room in https://discord.gg/astarnetwork
+    shibuya: {
+      url: "https://rpc.shibuya.astar.network:8545",
+      chainId: 81,
+      accounts: [ privateKey ]
+    },
+    
+    // Astar community faucet (please don't abuse): https://as-faucet.xyz/en/astar#
+    astar: {
+      url: "https://rpc.astar.network:8545",
+      chainId: 592,
+      accounts: [ privateKey ]
+    },
+
+    // Shiden community faucet (please don't abuse): https://as-faucet.xyz/en/shiden#
+    shiden: {
+      url: "https://rpc.shiden.astar.network:8545",
+      chainId: 336,
+      accounts: [ privateKey ]
+    }
+  }
+};
+```
+
+Once your accounts are funded, you can deploy the sample contract to Shibuya with `npx hardhat run --network shibuya scripts/sample-script.js`.
+
+
+## Truffle
+
+### Create Ethereum Account
+
+We recommend using the `@truffle/hdwallet-provider` package for key management. Instructions can be found [here](https://github.com/trufflesuite/truffle/blob/develop/packages/hdwallet-provider/README.md).
+
+### Add Networks to `truffle-config.js`
+
+To deploy and interact with Astar, modify `networks` in `truffle-config.js` to include Astar's networks:
+
+```js
+// truffle-config.js
+module.exports = {
+
+  networks: {
+  
+    // ... any existing networks (development, test, etc.)
+
+    // Shibuya faucet: use #shibuya-faucet room in https://discord.gg/astarnetwork
+    shibuya: {
+      url: "https://rpc.shibuya.astar.network",
+      network_id: 81
+    },
+    
+    // Astar community faucet (please don't abuse): https://as-faucet.xyz/en/astar#
+    astar: {
+      url: "https://rpc.astar.network:8545",
+      network_id: 592
+    },
+
+    // Shiden community faucet (please don't abuse): https://as-faucet.xyz/en/shiden#
+    shiden: {
+      url: "https://rpc.shiden.astar.network:8545",
+      network_id: 336
+    }
+  }
+
+  // ...
+
+};
+```
 
-## OpenZepplin
+Deploy/Migrate by running `truffle migrate --network shibuya`, replacing `shibuya` with your chosen network. If `--network` is not specified, the network values under`development` will be used.
