brownie VS hardhat

If you are going to use Brownie in this challenge, in your virtual environment, go ahead and install Brownie, after you installed it, create a new folder called nft and inside it run the following command:

Python and Brownie ETH, or any smart contract framework

Web3.py and Brownie setup, testing and deployment

One more advice - try executing the swaps in javascript/nodejs (https://github.com/ethers-io/ethers.js/) or python (https://github.com/eth-brownie/brownie) first, can be easier to learn. Then move it into a smart contract.

Take a look at Brownie https://github.com/eth-brownie/brownie

and if you like python, brownie is great, I read someone talking about using it inside of a Jupyter notebook for graphing with the usual python data science libraries which sounded interesting, but I've yet to try that. https://eth-brownie.readthedocs.io/

Brownie is an open-sourced Python smart contract framework created by Ben Hauser, aka “iamdefinitelyahuman”, and is a work of art. This is the tool that yearn.finance uses this framework to deploy and maintain contracts. You can start a project with a simple command, and start working with the code right away. What a “sweet” project name.

That's it for the first part ! Then we will use Hardhat to deploy our Solidity Contract on the Polygon testnet, and then overload our mintNFT() function with the actual minting. If you want to see the Part 2 quickly, give us some love and we will execute ! ❤️❤️❤️

I have two skipped tests because at the time of writing this article events firing doesn't work properly in the latest version. Link to the github issue

Hardhat

Other options include Remix (an IDE), ChainIDE, Anchor (for Solana), Hardhat, and lots of others. Web3 dev environments have come a long way in a short time, and there’s probably something out there for whatever you need.

Hardhat allows developers to build, test, and deploy smart contracts and dApps using a variety of tools and libraries. With over 114K users on GitHub and an active Discord community, Hardhat is a hugely popular framework for dApp developers. Much of its popularity can be attributed to its rich list of features, flexibility and the Hardhat Ethereum Virtual Machine for testing and debugging smart contracts.

The hardhat-ethers plugin adds the ethers.js library to the Hardhat node, making it possible to use its functionalities. It's possible to use it to deploy the contract, but since our goal is to create transactions, we can also add some code to do that as well.

Also learning how to use one of these development environments instead of Remix is necessary: 1. Hardhat: https://hardhat.org 2. Foundry: https://github.com/foundry-rs/foundry

Easy for devs — The zkEVM supports most popular tools out of the box. You can build, test, debug, and deploy your smart contracts with Hardhat, Infura, Truffle, etc. All the tools you use now, you can keep using. And there is already a bridge to move tokens onto and off the network.

Hardhat is an open-source development environment for Ethereum. It includes tools for developing, testing, and deploying smart contracts. Hardhat also has a built-in debugger that allows developers to step through the code and inspect variable values.

After you feel comfortable with this deployment flow, try deploying smart contracts on your chain with Remix, Hardhat, or Foundry. You can also experiment with customizing your Subnet by addingprecompiles or adjusting the airdrop.
