Toolchains

Foundry

Foundry is a smart contract development toolchain.

With Foundry you can manage your dependencies, compile your project, run tests, deploy smart contracts, and interact with the chain from the command-line and via Solidity scripts.

Check out the Foundry Book to get started with using Foundry with Nal.

Using Foundry with Nal

Foundry supports Nal out-of-the-box.

Just provide the Nal RPC URL and Chain ID when deploying and verifying your contracts.

Mainnet

Deploying a smart contract

Testnet

Deploying a smart contract

forge create ... --rpc-url=https://testnet-rpc.nal.network

Verifying a smart contract

Hardhat

Hardhat is an Ethereum development environment for flexible, extensible, and fast smart contract development.

You can use Hardhat to edit, compile, debug, and deploy your smart contracts to Nal.

Using Hardhat with Nal

To configure Hardhat to deploy smart contracts to Nal, update your project’s hardhat.config.ts file by adding Nal as a network:

networks: {
   // for mainnet
   "nal-mainnet": {
     url: 'https://rpc.nal.network',
     accounts: [process.env.PRIVATE_KEY as string],
     gasPrice: 1000000000,
   },
   // for Sepolia testnet
   "nal-sepolia": {
     url: "https://testnet-rpc.nal.network",
     accounts: [process.env.PRIVATE_KEY as string],
     gasPrice: 1000000000,
   }
 },
 defaultNetwork: "nal-sepolia",
