Using Hardhat
Hardhat is a development environment to compile, deploy, test, and debug your Ethereum software.
Setting up Hardhat
Once your environment is ready, we can create an empty folder and init a Hardhat project in it.
1
$ mkdir my-thundercore-project && cd $_
2
3
# We choose a basic sample project and install its dependences here:
4
$ npx hardhat init
5
6
✔ What do you want to do? · Create a basic sample project
7
8
✔ Do you want to install this sample project's dependencies with npm (hardhat @nomiclabs/hardhat-waffle ethereum-waffle chai @nomiclabs/hardhat-ethers ethers)? (Y/n) · y

After initialization, we can test the project with the
hardhat compile command:npm
Yarn

$ npm exec -- hardhat compile

Hardhat Config
Now, we have to add ThunderCore networks into Hardhat config file. Open and edit
hatdhat.config.js in the root directory of your project.hardhat.config.js
1
module.exports = {
2
+ networks: {
3
+ 'thunder-testnet': {
4
+ url: 'https://testnet-rpc.thundercore.com',
5
+ chainId: 18,
6
+ gas: 90000000,
7
+ gasPrice: 1e9,
8
+ accounts: process.env.KEY ? [process.env.KEY] : [],
9
+ },
10
+ 'thunder-mainnet': {
11
+ url: 'https://mainnet-rpc.thundercore.com',
12
+ chainId: 108,
13
+ gas: 90000000,
14
+ gasPrice: 1e9,
15
+ accounts: process.env.KEY ? [process.env.KEY] : [],
16
+ },
17
+ },

}

Never store your private key directly in
hardhat.config.jsDeploy to ThunderCore Network
Let's deploy the first contract.
You'll need some gas tokens to deploy contracts. To test on ThunderCore testnet, you can get some testnet tokens from ThunderCore testnet Faucet
