In previous chapters, we have seen how to manage the lifecycle of Ethereum-based smart contracts using Remix IDE and Truffle. Now we will look at another framework known as Hardhat that can be used to manage the lifecycle of smart contracts. The lifecycle includes tasks like creating, compiling, testing, and deploying the contracts.
You can create smart contracts while having the assistance of Hardhat throughout the entire process. It is also of great assistance when testing already implemented contracts and developing “future assumptions.”
