In a previous blog post, we discussed the importance of verifying Solidity smart contracts before deploying them onto the blockchain. However, there is a way to automate that process and make it more efficient. With the help of Hardhat, a popular development environment for Ethereum, developers can now verify their smart contract code programmatically as part of the deployment process. This means the verification process can be integrated into the development pipeline, ensuring the code is verified automatically each time the contract is deployed. This blog post will explore how to use Hardhat to verify smart contract code and streamline the verification process programmatically.

Smart contract verification is crucial for ensuring transparency, trust, and safety for users in the blockchain ecosystem. Smart contracts are immutable. Once deployed on the blockchain, they cannot be modified or deleted, making verification an essential process to ensure their correctness and safety. Verifying smart contracts with Hardhat tooling is a straightforward process that can be done quickly and easily. It provides a simple and effective way to verify smart contracts on the Ethereum network.
