In this tutorial, you'll fork Hedera testnet using Hardhat and interact with a basic ERC-20 token on the forked network. This is an introductory guide to local fork testing with Hardhat using TypeScript. This guide shows how to: * Fork Hedera testnet using Hardhat * Deploy an ERC-20 contract to Hedera testnet * Run Hardhat tests on a fork of Hedera testnet * Read and interact with an existing ERC-20 contract by its EVM address (e.g., `balanceOf`, `name`, `symbol`, `transfer`), with minimal setup * The process to set up and run tests is similar for mainnet as well References: * Repo: [hashgraph/hedera-forking](https://github.com/hashgraph/hedera-forking) * Readme sections: Hardhat plugin, Running your Tests * Examples: [`examples/hardhat-hts/`](https://github.com/hashgraph/hedera-forking/tree/main/examples/hardhat-hts) For a deeper understanding of how Hedera forking works and its limitations, see [Forking Hedera Network for Local Testing](/evm/development/forking). You can take a look at the complete code in the [**basic-erc20-fork-test-hardhat repository**](https://github.com/hedera-dev/tutorial-hedera-fork-testing/tree/main/hardhat/basic-erc20-fork-test-hardhat). *** ## Prerequisites * Node.js (v18 or later) and npm * ECDSA account from the [Hedera Portal](https://portal.hedera.com/) * Basic understanding of Solidity and TypeScript * A Hedera JSON-RPC endpoint: * mainnet: `https://mainnet.hashio.io/api` * testnet: `https://testnet.hashio.io/api` *** ## Table of Contents 1.

[Step 4: Run Tests on the Forked Network](#step-4:-run-tests-on-the-forked-network) *** ## Step 1: Project Setup ### Initialize Project Create a new directory and initialize the project: ```bash theme={null} mkdir basic-erc20-fork-test-hardhat cd basic-erc20-fork-test-hardhat npm init -y ``` ### Install Dependencies Create or update your `package.json` with all required dependencies: ```json package.json theme={null} { "name": "basic-erc20-fork-test-hardhat", "version": "1.0.0", "description": "Hedera Fork Testing with Hardhat", "private": true, "scripts": { "compile": "hardhat compile", "test": "hardhat test", "deploy:testnet": "hardhat run scripts/deploy.ts --network hederaTestnet" }, "license": "MIT", "devDependencies": { "@hashgraph/system-contracts-forking": "0.1.2", "@nomicfoundation/hardhat-chai-matchers": "^2.0.0", "@nomicfoundation/hardhat-ethers": "^3.0.0", "@nomicfoundation/hardhat-ignition": "^0.15.16", "@nomicfoundation/ignition-core": "^0.15.15", "@nomicfoundation/hardhat-ignition-ethers": "^0.15.0", "@nomicfoundation/hardhat-network-helpers": "^1.0.0", "@nomicfoundation/hardhat-toolbox": "5.0.0", "@nomicfoundation/hardhat-verify": "^2.0.0", "@openzeppelin/contracts": "^5.0.0", "@typechain/ethers-v6": "^0.5.0", "@typechain/hardhat": "^9.0.0", "@types/chai": "^4.2.0", "@types/mocha": ">=9.1.0", "@types/node": "^20.0.0", "chai": "^4.2.0", "hardhat": "2.22.19", "hardhat-gas-reporter": "^1.0.8", "solidity-coverage": "^0.8.1", "ts-node": "^10.9.0", "typechain": "^8.3.0", "typescript": "^5.0.0" } } ``` Then install all dependencies: ```bash theme={null} npm install --legacy-peer-deps ``` **Why these specific versions?** The `@hashgraph/system-contracts-forking` plugin requires **Hardhat 2.22.x**. Newer versions of Hardhat (2.28+) introduced breaking changes that cause a `No known hardfork for execution` error when forking Hedera networks. * **`hardhat@2.22.19`** - Last compatible version before breaking changes * **`@nomicfoundation/hardhat-toolbox@5.0.0`** - Compatible with Hardhat 2.22.x * **`@hashgraph/system-contracts-forking@0.1.2`** - The Hedera forking plugin * **`--legacy-peer-deps`** - Required to resolve dependency conflicts between these versions Verify Hardhat is installed correctly: ```bash theme={null} npx hardhat --version # Should output: 2.22.19 ``` ### Create Project Structure Create the necessary directories: ```bash theme={null} mkdir contracts test scripts ``` ### Configure TypeScript Create `tsconfig.json` in your project root: ```json tsconfig.json theme={null} { "compilerOptions": { "target": "ES2020", "module": "commonjs", "strict": true, "esModuleInterop": true, "skipLibCheck": true, "forceConsistentCasingInFileNames": true, "outDir": "dist", "resolveJsonModule": true }, "include": ["./scripts", "./test", "./typechain-types"], "files": ["./hardhat.config.ts"] } ``` ### Configure Hardhat Create `hardhat.config.ts` in your project root. This file must exist before you can run any Hardhat commands: ```typescript hardhat.config.ts theme={null} import { HardhatUserConfig, vars } from "hardhat/config"; import "@nomicfoundation/hardhat-toolbox"; import "@hashgraph/system-contracts-forking/plugin"; // Load configuration variables const HEDERA_RPC_URL = vars.get("HEDERA_RPC_URL"); const HEDERA_PRIVATE_KEY = vars.get("HEDERA_PRIVATE_KEY"); const config: HardhatUserConfig = { solidity: "0.8.33", networks: { // Network for deploying to real testnet hederaTestnet: { url: HEDERA_RPC_URL, accounts: [HEDERA_PRIVATE_KEY], chainId: 296 }, // Local fork of testnet for testing hardhat: { forking: { url: HEDERA_RPC_URL, // Pin to a specific block for reproducible tests // Update this after deploying your contract blockNumber: 29900000, // @ts-ignore - custom properties for hedera-forking plugin chainId: 296, // @ts-ignore workerPort: 10001 } } } }; export default config; ``` **Important configuration notes:** * **`HEDERA_RPC_URL`** - Loaded from Hardhat configuration variables * **`HEDERA_PRIVATE_KEY`** - Loaded securely from configuration variables * **`hederaTestnet`** - Network configuration for deploying to real testnet * **`hardhat.forking`** - Configuration for forking testnet locally * **`blockNumber`** - Pin to a block where your deployed contract exists * **`chainId: 296`** - Required for testnet (295 for mainnet) * **`workerPort: 10001`** - Any free port for the worker that intercepts Hardhat calls * **`@ts-ignore`** - Required because `chainId` and `workerPort` are custom properties not in Hardhat's type definitions ### Set Configuration Variables Now that `hardhat.config.ts` exists, you can set the configuration variables. Hardhat allows you to securely store sensitive values using configuration variables: ```bash theme={null} npx hardhat vars set HEDERA_RPC_URL ``` When prompted, enter: `https://testnet.hashio.io/api` ```bash theme={null} npx hardhat vars set HEDERA_PRIVATE_KEY ``` When prompted, enter the **HEX Encoded Private Key** for your **ECDSA account** from the [Hedera Portal](https://portal.hedera.com/). Make sure your ECDSA account exists on **testnet** and has sufficient HBAR for deployment. You can fund your testnet account using the [Hedera Portal](https://portal.hedera.com/). You can verify your variables are set correctly: ```bash theme={null} npx hardhat vars list ``` *** ## Step 2: Create the ERC-20 Contract and Deploy to Testnet ### Create the Contract Create a new file `contracts/ERC20Token.sol`: ```solidity contracts/ERC20Token.sol theme={null} // SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT // Compatible with OpenZeppelin Contracts ^5.0.0 pragma solidity ^0.8.33; import {ERC20} from "@openzeppelin/contracts/token/ERC20/ERC20.sol"; import {Ownable} from "@openzeppelin/contracts/access/Ownable.sol"; contract ERC20Token is ERC20, Ownable { constructor(address initialOwner, address recipient) ERC20("MyToken", "MTK") Ownable(initialOwner) { _mint(recipient, 10000 * 10 ** decimals()); } function mint(address to, uint256 amount) public onlyOwner { _mint(to, amount); } } ``` This contract: * Creates a basic ERC-20 token named "MyToken" with symbol "MTK" * Mints 10,000 tokens to a recipient on deployment * Has an `onlyOwner` `mint` function for additional minting ### Compile the Contract ```bash theme={null} npx hardhat compile ``` This will also generate TypeScript types in the `typechain-types` directory. ### Create Deployment Script Create a new file `scripts/deploy.ts`: ```typescript scripts/deploy.ts theme={null} import { ethers } from "hardhat"; async function main(): Promise { const [deployer] = await ethers.getSigners(); console.log("Deploying contracts with the account:", deployer.address); const balance = await ethers.provider.getBalance(deployer.address); console.log("Account balance:", ethers.formatEther(balance), "HBAR"); // Deploy ERC20Token with deployer as both owner and initial recipient const ERC20Token = await ethers.getContractFactory("ERC20Token"); const token = await ERC20Token.deploy(deployer.address, deployer.address); await token.waitForDeployment(); const tokenAddress = await token.getAddress(); console.log("ERC20Token deployed to:", tokenAddress); console.log( "View on HashScan: https://hashscan.io/testnet/contract/" + tokenAddress ); // Get deployment block number for fork testing reference const blockNumber = await ethers.provider.getBlockNumber(); console.log("Deployed at block number:", blockNumber); console.log("\n=== IMPORTANT ==="); console.log("Save this contract address for your fork tests!"); console.log( "Update blockNumber in hardhat.config.ts to >=", blockNumber, "when forking" ); } main().catch((error) => { console.error(error); process.exitCode = 1; }); ``` ### Deploy to Testnet Deploy your contract to Hedera testnet: ```bash theme={null} npx hardhat run scripts/deploy.ts --network hederaTestnet ``` You should see output similar to: ```bash theme={null} Deploying contracts with the account: 0xA98556A4deeB07f21f8a66093989078eF86faa30 Account balance: 63051.15495643 HBAR ERC20Token deployed to: 0xea606E2D68Ff9F211756b8cfd9026a7Eb76845C9 View on HashScan: https://hashscan.io/testnet/contract/0xea606E2D68Ff9F211756b8cfd9026a7Eb76845C9 Deployed at block number: 29965248 === IMPORTANT === Save this contract address for your fork tests! Update blockNumber in hardhat. config.ts to >= 29965248 when forking ``` Save the deployed contract address and block number! You'll need these for your fork tests. The contract must exist at the block you're forking from. ### Update Hardhat Config with Deployment Block After deployment, update your `hardhat.config.ts` with the block number from the deployment output: ```typescript theme={null} blockNumber: 29965248, // <-- Update this with your deployment block or higher ``` We have already deployed this ERC-20 contract on testnet at [0xea606E2D68Ff9F211756b8cfd9026a7Eb76845C9](https://hashscan.io/testnet/contract/0xea606E2D68Ff9F211756b8cfd9026a7Eb76845C9) so we will be using this for the remainder of this exercise. *** ## Step 3: Write Tests for the Forked Network Now we'll write tests that interact with the already deployed contract on the forked testnet. This is the real power of fork testing - you can test against real deployed contracts without spending gas or affecting the live network. Create a new file `test/ERC20Token.test.ts`: Make sure to update the `DEPLOYED_CONTRACT` constant below with the address of your deployed contract from Step 2. ```typescript test/ERC20Token.test.ts theme={null} import { expect } from "chai"; import { ethers, network } from "hardhat"; import { loadFixture } from "@nomicfoundation/hardhat-toolbox/network-helpers"; import { ERC20Token } from "../typechain-types"; import { HardhatEthersSigner } from "@nomicfoundation/hardhat-ethers/signers"; describe("ERC20Token - Forked Network Tests", function () { // Your deployed testnet contract: const DEPLOYED_CONTRACT = "YOUR_CONTRACT_ADDRESS"; // <-- Update with your deployed address let token: ERC20Token; let realOwner: HardhatEthersSigner; let alice: HardhatEthersSigner; let bob: HardhatEthersSigner; /** * Fixture to set up the test environment. * Using fixtures ensures each test starts with a clean state. */ async function setupFixture(): Promise<{ token: ERC20Token; realOwner: HardhatEthersSigner; ownerAddress: string; alice: HardhatEthersSigner; bob: HardhatEthersSigner; }> { // Bind to the deployed contract on the forked network const tokenContract = await ethers.getContractAt( "ERC20Token", DEPLOYED_CONTRACT ); // Discover the real on-chain owner (from Ownable) const ownerAddress = await tokenContract.owner(); // Impersonate the real owner so we can call onlyOwner functions await network.provider.request({ method: "hardhat_impersonateAccount", params: [ownerAddress] }); const impersonatedOwner = await ethers.getSigner(ownerAddress); // Fund the impersonated account with ETH for gas await network.provider.send("hardhat_setBalance", [ ownerAddress, "0x56BC75E2D63100000" // 100 ETH in hex ]); // Get local test accounts for recipients const [, aliceSigner, bobSigner] = await ethers.getSigners(); // Fund local accounts await network.provider.send("hardhat_setBalance", [ aliceSigner.address, "0x56BC75E2D63100000" ]); await network.provider.send("hardhat_setBalance", [ bobSigner.address, "0x56BC75E2D63100000" ]); return { token: tokenContract as ERC20Token, realOwner: impersonatedOwner, ownerAddress, alice: aliceSigner, bob: bobSigner };

}); }); }); ``` **Key points about these tests:** * **TypeScript types** - Uses generated types from `typechain-types` for type safety * **Uses deployed contract** - Tests bind to the already deployed contract using `getContractAt` * **Impersonation** - Uses `hardhat_impersonateAccount` to act as the real owner * **Reads real state** - Token info, balances, etc. come from the actual testnet deployment * **Local modifications** - All transfers, mints happen only on the local fork * **No testnet changes** - The real testnet is never modified * **Uses fixtures** - `loadFixture` ensures each test starts with a clean state *** ## Step 4: Run Tests on the Forked Network Run your tests against the forked Hedera testnet: ```bash theme={null} npx hardhat test ``` You should see output similar to: ```bash theme={null} ERC20Token - Forked Network Tests Token Information (Reading from Forked State) ✔ should read name and symbol from deployed contract (371ms) ✔ should read decimals from deployed contract Total supply on testnet: 10000.0 MTK ✔ should read total supply from deployed contract (73ms) Owner (0xA98556A4deeB07f21f8a66093989078eF86faa30) balance: 10000.0 MTK ✔ should read owner balance from deployed contract (78ms) Ownership (Testing with Impersonation) ✔ should reject minting from non-owner (89ms) ✔ should allow real owner to mint new tokens (72ms) Transfers (Modifying Forked State) ✔ should transfer tokens from owner to alice ✔ should handle multiple transfers correctly (76ms) ✔ should fail transfer with insufficient balance Allowances ✔ should approve and check allowance (85ms) ✔ should transfer using transferFrom after approval ✔ should fail transferFrom without approval Supply Changes ✔ should track supply changes after minting Fork Network Verification Current fork block number: 29965248 ✔ should be connected to a forked network Contract at 0xea606E2D68Ff9F211756b8cfd9026a7Eb76845C9 has 9016 bytes of code ✔ should be interacting with real deployed contract Original owner balance: 10000.0 MTK ✔ should preserve original state for each test (via fixtures) 16 passing (2s) ``` ### Pin to a Specific Block For reproducible tests, make sure the `blockNumber` in your `hardhat.config.ts` is set to a block where your contract exists. If you try to fork at a block before your contract was deployed, you'll see an error because the contract doesn't exist yet at that block. *** ## Understanding Fork Testing with Deployed Contracts ### Why Test Against Deployed Contracts? 1. **Real-world state** - Test against actual balances, allowances, and state 2. **No deployment costs** - Don't spend gas deploying for every test run 3. **Impersonation** - Act as any account (even the contract owner) without their private key 4. **Safe experimentation** - Try anything without affecting the real network ### How Impersonation Works ```typescript theme={null} // Tell Hardhat to let us sign as this address await network.provider.request({ method: "hardhat_impersonateAccount", params: [someAddress] }); // Now we can get a signer for that address const impersonatedSigner = await ethers.getSigner(someAddress); // Use it to call functions as if we were that account await token.connect(impersonatedSigner).transfer(recipient, amount); ``` ### Local vs. Remote State | Action | Affects Local Fork | Affects Testnet | | - | - | - | | Read balances | ✅ (cached) | ❌ (read-only) | | Transfer tokens | ✅ | ❌ | | Mint new tokens | ✅ | ❌ | | Deploy new contracts | ✅ | ❌ | | Impersonate accounts | ✅ | ❌ | | Changes persist after test | ❌ (reset) | N/A | *** ## Next Steps Now that you understand fork testing with deployed contracts, you can: 1. **Test contract upgrades** - Fork, deploy upgraded version, compare behavior 2. **Simulate user interactions** - Impersonate real users to test edge cases 3. **Move to Part 2** - Learn how to work with HTS System Contracts In [Part 2](/evm/tools/hardhat/forking-advanced), you'll learn how to interact with the Hedera Token Service (HTS) using system contract precompiles, including interacting with existing HTS tokens and understanding the limitations of the forking emulation layer. *** ## Further Learning & Next Steps 1.
