This guide will show you the ropes of working with HardHat, a widely-used framework for creating smart contracts. We’ll learn how to construct a powerful NFT project that can transform any data type into an NFT. We will also cover the basics of the Hardhat framework for creating, testing, and deploying smart contracts. You should also be familiar with public and private keys, and ideally have some experience with Metamask. Knowledge of Solidity, Javascript, and Node.js is also highly desirable.
