Hardhat Verification Plugin

Hardhat is a full-featured development environment for contract compilation, deployment and verification. The Hardhat Verification Plugin supports contract verification on Seitrace.

Get started

1. Install Hardhat

   If you are starting from scratch, create an npm project by going to an empty folder, running npm init, and following the instructions. Recommend npm 7 or higher.

   Once your project is ready:

   npm instructions

   npm install --save-dev hardhat

   yarn instructions

   yarn add --dev hardhat

2. Create a project

   Run npx hardhat in your project folder and follow the instructions to create (more info here).

3. Install plugin

   Install the hardhat-etherscan plugin (requires v3.0.0+).

   npm

   npm install --save-dev @nomiclabs/hardhat-etherscan

   yarn

   yarn add --dev @nomiclabs/hardhat-etherscan

4. Add plugin reference to config file

   Add the following statement to your hardhat.config.js.

   require("@nomiclabs/hardhat-etherscan");

   If using TypeScript, add this to your hardhat.config.ts. More info on using typescript with hardhat available here.

   import "@nomiclabs/hardhat-etherscan";

Config File

Your basic Hardhat config file (hardhat.config.js or hardhat.config.ts) will be setup to support the network you are working on. In this example we use the Sokol test network and a .js file.

Here we add an RPC url without an API key, however some value is still required. You can use any arbitrary string. More info.

If you prefer, you can migrate to hardhat-toolbox to use a plugin bundle.
