[bxpana]

@matterlabs/hardhat-zksync just shipped 🚢 ✅ . What does this improve? Glad you asked 😄

Before

When devs wanted to compile, deploy, upgrade, verify, and use hardhat / era-test-node they had to install and import the following plugins and ensure they were properly ordered 😵‍💫

• @matterlabs/hardhat-zksync-solc
• @matterlabs/hardhat-zksync-deploy
• @matterlabs/hardhat-zksync-upgradable
• @matterlabs/hardhat-zksync-verify
• @matterlabs/hardhat-zksync-node
• @matterlabs/hardhat-zksync-ethers

hardhat.config.ts BEFORE example:

import { HardhatUserConfig } from "hardhat/config";

import "@matterlabs/hardhat-zksync-node";
import "@matterlabs/hardhat-zksync-deploy";
import "@matterlabs/hardhat-zksync-solc";
import "@matterlabs/hardhat-zksync-verify";

...

Now

1 install, 1 import for all your needs 💯

• @matterlabs/hardhat-zksync

hardhat.config.ts NOW example:

import { HardhatUserConfig } from "hardhat/config";

import "@matterlabs/hardhat-zksync";

...
