Burn Contract is a bare metal Ethereum smart contract template written in Solidity. Its only function is to receive ETH, which then is irrevocably locked in the contract (=burned). Also, as an eternal epitaph, an event signaling the burning is emitted.
This project is configured to use Hardhat as the environment to run tests and to deploy the contract to the blockchain.
Tests use ethers.js and Chai with Waffle. As deployment provider, Alchemy is used.
Install the required packages via npm by running npm install.
Create and edit a file named .env like shown in the file .env-example. You need to fill in your Alchemy API key and private key of your wallet to create the contract from to be able to deploy the contract. If you don't plan on deploying, simply creating the file with dummy values as shown in the example is sufficient to compile and test the contract.
Run npm test (this runs npx hardhat test --network hardhat). This already compiles the contract. To manually compile, run npx hardhat compile.
Run npx hardhat run scripts/deploy.js --network ropsten. To configure other networks, edit hardhat.config.js.
This contract is already deployed to Ropsten at 0x78e2ebdd5e8b7522d028608047e4be38fda50064. Feel free to add to the burn.
