Step-by-step guide to deploying a smart contract on c8ntinuum using Hardhat.
hh2 npm tags install Hardhat 2 and @nomicfoundation/hardhat-toolbox 6.x, which includes hardhat-ethers and hardhat-verify. The untagged hardhat package now installs Hardhat 3, which uses an ESM config and a different setup, so the steps below do not apply to it.
mkdir my-project && cd my-project
npm init -y
npm install --save-dev hardhat@hh2 @nomicfoundation/hardhat-toolbox@hh2
npx hardhat init
hardhat.config.js:
require("@nomicfoundation/hardhat-toolbox");
module.exports = {
