This project demonstrates a basic Hardhat use case with configuration to deploy to Celo. It comes with a sample contract, a test for that contract, and a sample script that deploys that contract.

Refer to the hardhat.config.js file to see how it is configured to deploy to Celo.

Try running some of the following tasks:

npx hardhat compile
npx hardhat clean
npx hardhat test
node scripts/sample-script.js
npx hardhat help

The built in hardhat environment is designed to work with the Ethereum version of the EVM. Celo also runs the EVM, but includes additional fields in the transaction object to support paying transaction fees in currencies other than the native one (like CELO or ETH) and paying full node incentives. The Hardhat environment does not include Celo's protocol contract either. It may still be useful for running contract tests, but just be aware that there are some differences.
