Project Overview

This example project includes:

• A simple Hardhat configuration file.
• Foundry-compatible Solidity unit tests.
• TypeScript integration tests using mocha and ethers.js
• Examples demonstrating how to connect to different types of networks, including locally simulating OP mainnet.

Usage

Running Tests

To run all the tests in the project, execute the following command:

npx hardhat test

You can also selectively run the Solidity or mocha tests:

npx hardhat test solidity
npx hardhat test mocha

Make a deployment to Sepolia

This project includes an example Ignition module to deploy the contract. You can deploy this module to a locally simulated chain or to Sepolia.

To run the deployment to a local chain:

npx hardhat ignition deploy ignition/modules/Counter.ts

To run the deployment to Sepolia, you need an account with funds to send the transaction. The provided Hardhat configuration includes a Configuration Variable called SEPOLIA_PRIVATE_KEY, which you can use to set the private key of the account you want to use.

You can set the SEPOLIA_PRIVATE_KEY variable using the hardhat-keystore plugin or by setting it as an environment variable.

To set the SEPOLIA_PRIVATE_KEY config variable using hardhat-keystore:

npx hardhat keystore set SEPOLIA_PRIVATE_KEY

After setting the variable, you can run the deployment with the Sepolia network:

npx hardhat ignition deploy --network sepolia ignition/modules/Counter.ts
