Harmony

MetaMask

On node access details, click Add to MetaMask.

Truffle

Configure Truffle Suite to deploy contracts to your Harmony nodes.

  1. Install Truffle Suite, HD Wallet-enabled Web3 provider, and create a project.

  2. Create a new environment in truffle-config.js, add your mnemonic phrase generated by a wallet and the Harmony endpoint instead of YOUR_CHAINSTACK_ENDPOINT:

    const HDWalletProvider = require("@truffle/hdwallet-provider");
const mnemonic = 'pattern enroll upgrade ...';
...
module.exports = {
 networks: {
    chainstack: {
        provider: () => new HDWalletProvider(mnemonic, "YOUR_CHAINSTACK_ENDPOINT"),
        network_id: "*"
    },
   }
  }
};

Hardhat

Configure Hardhat to deploy contracts and interact through your Harmony nodes.

  1. Install Hardhat and create a project.

  2. Create a new environment in hardhat.config.js:

    require("@nomiclabs/hardhat-waffle");
...
module.exports = {
  solidity: "0.7.3",
  networks: {
    chainstack: {
        url: "YOUR_CHAINSTACK_ENDPOINT",
        accounts: ["YOUR_PRIVATE_KEY"]
    },
  }
};

    where

    • YOUR_CHAINSTACK_ENDPOINT — your node HTTPS or WSS endpoint protected either with the key or password. See node access details.
    • YOUR_PRIVATE_KEY — the private key of the account that you use to deploy the contract

  3. Run npx hardhat run scripts/deploy.js --network chainstack and Hardhat will deploy using Chainstack.

See also Forking EVM-compatible mainnet with Hardhat.

Remix IDE

To make Remix IDE interact with the network through a Chainstack node:

  1. Get MetaMask and set it to interact through a Chainstack node. See Interacting through MetaMask.
  2. In Remix IDE, navigate to the Deploy tab. Select Injected Provider - MetaMask in Environment.

This will engage MetaMask and make Remix IDE interact with the network through a Chainstack node.
