An architecture note covering Hardhat's network forking: requirements, minimal design, trust boundaries, operational checks, failure modes, and triggers for redesign.
Learn how to use Hardhat's built‑in console.log to debug Solidity contracts directly from the terminal, with a minimal setup, example contract and test, and notes on gas overhead and network limits.
When deploying a contract locally with Hardhat, named accounts (e.g., deployer ) resolve to the expected address and the deployment succeeds. In the production environment, which connects to the Goerli testnet via an Infura endpoint, the same deployment script fails with an “address not found” error, even though the namedAccounts section in hardhat.config.js
