• How does it work?
It runs as either an in-process or stand-alone daemon, servicing JSON-RPC and WebSocket requests.
By default, it mines a block with each transaction that it receives, in order and with no delay.
It's backed by the @ethereumjs/vm
EVM implementation, the same one used by ganache, Remix and Ethereum Studio.
• How can I use it?
By default, if you're using Hardhat, then you're already using Hardhat Network.
When Hardhat executes your tests, scripts or tasks, an in-process Hardhat Network node is started automatically, and all of Hardhat's plugins (ethers.js, web3.js, Waffle, Truffle, etc) will connect directly to this node's provider.
There's no need to make any changes to your tests or scripts.
Hardhat Network is simply another network. If you wanted to be explicit, you could run, for example, npx hardhat run --network hardhat scripts/my-script.js
.
• Running stand-alone in order to support wallets and other software
Alternatively, Hardhat Network can run in a stand-alone fashion so that external clients can connect to it. This could be MetaMask, your Dapp front-end, or a script. To run Hardhat Network in this way, run:
$ npx hardhat node
Started HTTP and WebSocket JSON-RPC server at http://127.0.0.1:8545/
Accounts
========
Account #0: 0xf39fd6e51aad88f6f4ce6ab8827279cfffb92266 (10000 ETH)
Private Key: 0xac0974bec39a17e36ba4a6b4d238ff944bacb478cbed5efcae784d7bf4f2ff80
Account #1: 0x70997970c51812dc3a010c7d01b50e0d17dc79c8 (10000 ETH)
Private Key: 0x59c6995e998f97a5a0044966f0945389dc9e86dae88c7a8412f4603b6b78690d
...
This will start Hardhat Network, and expose it as a JSON-RPC and WebSocket server.
Then, just connect your wallet or application to http://127.0.0.1:8545
.
If you want to connect Hardhat to this node, you just need to run using --network localhost
.
• Solidity stack traces
Hardhat Network has first-class Solidity support. It always knows which smart contracts are being run, what they do exactly and why they fail.
If a transaction or call fails, Hardhat Network will throw an exception. This exception will have a combined JavaScript and Solidity stack trace: stack traces that start in JavaScript/TypeScript up to your call to the contract, and continue with the full Solidity call stack.
This is an example of a Hardhat Network exception using TruffleContract
:
Error: Transaction reverted: function selector was not recognized and there's no fallback function
at ERC721Mock.<unrecognized-selector> (contracts/mocks/ERC721Mock.sol:9)
at ERC721Mock._checkOnERC721Received (contracts/token/ERC721/ERC721.sol:334)
at ERC721Mock._safeTransferFrom (contracts/token/ERC721/ERC721.sol:196)
at ERC721Mock.safeTransferFrom (contracts/token/ERC721/ERC721.sol:179)
at ERC721Mock.safeTransferFrom (contracts/token/ERC721/ERC721.sol:162)
at TruffleContract.safeTransferFrom (node_modules/@nomiclabs/truffle-contract/lib/execute.js:157:24)
at Context.<anonymous> (test/token/ERC721/ERC721.behavior.js:321:26)
The last two lines correspond to the JavaScript test code that executed a failing transaction. The rest is the Solidity stack trace. This way you know exactly why your tests aren't passing.
• Automatic error messages
Hardhat Network always knows why your transaction or call failed, and it uses this information to make debugging your contracts easier.
When a transaction fails without a reason, Hardhat Network will create a clear error message in the following cases:
Calling a non-payable function with ETH
Sending ETH to a contract without a payable fallback or receive function
Calling a non-existent function when there's no fallback function
Calling a function with incorrect parameters
Calling an external function that doesn't return the right amount of data
Calling an external function on a non-contract account
Failing to execute an external call because of its parameters (e.g. trying to send too much ETH)
Calling a library without
DELEGATECALL
Incorrectly calling a precompiled contract
Trying to deploy a contract that exceeds the bytecode size limit imposed by EIP-170
• Mainnet forking
Hardhat Network has the ability to copy the state of the mainnet blockchain into your local environment, including all balances and deployed contracts. This is known as "forking mainnet."
In a local environment forked from mainnet, you can execute transactions to invoke mainnet-deployed contracts, or interact with the network in any other way that you would with mainnet. In addition, you can do anything supported by a non-forked Hardhat Network: see console logs, get stack traces, or use the default accounts to deploy new contracts.
More generally, Hardhat Network can be used to fork any network, not just mainnet. Even further, Hardhat Network can be used to fork any EVM-compatible blockchain, not just Ethereum.
There are other things you can do with a forked Hardhat Network. Check our guide to learn more.
• Mining modes
Hardhat Network can be configured to automine blocks, immediately upon receiving each transaction, or it can be configured for interval mining, where a new block is mined periodically, incorporating as many pending transactions as possible.
You can use one of these modes, both or neither. By default, only the automine mode is enabled.
If neither mining mode is enabled, no new blocks will be mined, but you can manually mine new blocks using the evm_mine
RPC method. This will generate a new block that will include as many pending transactions as possible.
For more details on mining modes and mempool behavior, see Mining Modes.
• Logging
Hardhat Network uses its tracing infrastructure to offer rich logging that will help you develop and debug smart contracts.
For example, a successful transaction and a failed call would look like this:
eth_sendTransaction
Contract deployment: Greeter
Contract address: 0x8858eeb3dfffa017d4bce9801d340d36cf895ccf
Transaction: 0x7ea2754e53f09508d42bd3074046f90595bedd61fcdf75a4764453454733add0
From: 0xc783df8a850f42e7f7e57013759c285caa701eb6
Value: 0 ETH
Gas used: 568851 of 2844255
Block: #2 - Hash: 0x4847b316b12170c576999183da927c2f2056aa7d8f49f6e87430e6654a56dab0
console.log:
Deploying a Greeter with greeting: Hello, world!
eth_call
Contract call: Greeter#greet
From: 0xc783df8a850f42e7f7e57013759c285caa701eb6
Error: VM Exception while processing transaction: revert Not feeling like it
at Greeter.greet (contracts/Greeter.sol:14)
at process._tickCallback (internal/process/next_tick.js:68:7)
This logging is enabled by default when using Hardhat Network's node (i.e. npx hardhat node
), but disabled when using the in-process Hardhat Network provider. See Hardhat Network's config to learn more about how to control its logging.
