ganache VS hardhat

To set up your Ganache, head to the website, choose your operating system, download it, and then run the application. To set up your account with Metamask, do this:

Learners get hands-on experience with tools like Infura and Truffle Ganache, which are some of the most popular and widely used development tools in the Ethereum ecosystem that are focused on making Solidity easy to use. And as a product of ConsenSys, the Developer Program provides a direct link to the ConsenSys ecosystem, with access to some of the best resources and tools in the industry.

We recommend using Ganache to develop your smart contract first on a local blockchain on your machine. Each account in Ganache comes pre-loaded with test Ether, so you’re all set from the start.

Remember, smart contracts are immutable. Once they are deployed on mainnet, they can’t be modified. So it’s important to make sure they work before deploying. To get around this, we will test the functionalities of our DAO on a local instance of the Ethereum blockchain. This is made possible by Truffle’s Ganache—a one-click way to create a personal and local Ethereum blockchain.

Truffle & Ganache

Once you have a smart contract underway, you’ll need to test it on a blockchain. This is where Ganache comes in. Ganache is a locally hosted blockchain that simulates Ethereum on your machine. It allows you to use console.log in solidity, fork mainnet (or any other Ethereum network), set mining options, and impersonate real accounts, among other things.

Hardhat is an Ethereum development framework for creating, testing and deploying smart contracts. It includes a suite of tools that aid in developing smart contracts and managing the complete development process, allowing developers to write scripts, compile, test, and deploy efficiently.

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 ! ❤️❤️❤️

To keep things simple and visible (in case you cant deploy), we will use Sepolia testnet blockchain and Hardhat as development environment, so to configure hardhat to use sepolia we need to add the following configuration to the hardhat.config.js file:

The documentation has no mention of Trezor wallet support. According to this GitHub issue I could try out this Frame application, but I was wondering if there was a simpler solution that didn't require installing some 3rd party application.

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
