 ## Prerequisites
 
 *   Node.js and npm
-*   Hardhat (`npm install --save-dev hardhat`)
+*   Hardhat 
 
 ## Setup
 
-1.  Install dependencies:
+1.  Initialize a new Hardhat project:
+
+    ```bash
+    npm init -y
+    npm install --save-dev hardhat
+    npx hardhat init
+    ```
+    Install OpenZeppelin contracts:
     ```bash
-    npm install
+    npm install @openzeppelin/contracts
+    ```
+    Create your contract:
+    In the contracts folder, create a new Solidity file, e.g., **MyToken.sol**:
+    ```solidity
+        // SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT
+        pragma solidity ^0.8.20;
+
+        import "@openzeppelin/contracts/token/ERC20/ERC20.sol";
+        import "@openzeppelin/contracts/access/Ownable.sol";
+
+        contract MyToken is ERC20, Ownable {
+        constructor(uint256 initialSupply) 
+        ERC20("Tempe Tahu", "TT") 
+        Ownable(msg.sender)
+        {
+        _mint(msg.sender, initialSupply * 10 ** decimals());
+        }
+
+        function mint(address to, uint256 amount) public onlyOwner {
+            _mint(to, amount);
+        }
+    } 
+    ```
+    Edit **hardhat.config.js** to set up your network and compiler:
+    
+    ```javascript
+    require("@nomicfoundation/hardhat-toolbox");
+    require("dotenv").config();
+
+    const privateKey = process.env.PRIVATE_KEY;
+    const rpcUrl = process.env.RPC_URL;
+
+    if (!privateKey) {
+      console.warn("Please set your PRIVATE_KEY in the .env file");
+    }
+    if (!rpcUrl) {
+      console.warn("Please set your RPC_URL in the .env file");
+    }
+
+    /** @type import('hardhat/config').HardhatUserConfig */
+    module.exports = {
+      solidity: "0.8.24",
+      networks: {
+        hardhat: {
+          // Configuration for the local Hardhat Network
+        },
+        og_testnet_v3: {
+          url: rpcUrl || "", // Fallback to empty string if not set
+          accounts: privateKey ? [`0x${privateKey}`] : [], // Add 0x prefix
+          chainId: 16601, // Updated Chain ID for 0G Testnet V3
+        },
+      },
+      // Optional: Specify etherscan API key if verification is needed later
+      // etherscan: {
+      //   apiKey: process.env.ETHERSCAN_API_KEY
+      // }
+    };
     ```
-2.  Create a `.env` file in this directory (`hardhat/.env`) by copying the example:
+    In the scripts folder, create **deploy.js**:
+    
+    ```javascript
+    const hre = require("hardhat");
+
+    async function main() {
+      const initialSupply = hre.ethers.parseUnits("1000000", 18); // 1,000,000 tokens with 18 decimals
+
+      console.log("Deploying MyToken contract...");
+
+      const MyToken = await hre.ethers.getContractFactory("MyToken");
+      const myToken = await MyToken.deploy(initialSupply);
+
+      // No need to wait for deployment explicitly with Hardhat V6 and ethers v6
+      // The deploy function returns a promise that resolves once the contract is deployed.
+      // However, getting the address requires the deployment transaction to be mined.
+      // Use Contract.waitForDeployment() if you need the address immediately or need
+      // to ensure the transaction is mined before proceeding.
+
+      // await myToken.waitForDeployment(); // Optional: wait for deployment tx to be mined
+
+      const contractAddress = await myToken.getAddress();
+      console.log(`MyToken deployed to: ${contractAddress}`);
+      console.log(`Transaction hash: ${myToken.deploymentTransaction().hash}`);
+
+    }
+
+    // We recommend this pattern to be able to use async/await everywhere
+    // and properly handle errors.
+    main().catch((error) => {
+      console.error(error);
+      process.exitCode = 1;
+    }); 
+    ```
+
+
+
+
+
+
+2.  Create 2 files **'.env' and '.env.example'** in the project root to store credentials::
     ```bash
-    cp .env.example .env
+    .env
+    .example.env
     ```
-3.  Edit the `.env` file and add your private key and the 0G Testnet V3 RPC URL:
+    Edit the **`.env`** file and add your private key and the 0G Testnet V3 RPC URL:
     ```dotenv
     PRIVATE_KEY="YOUR_PRIVATE_KEY_HERE_WITHOUT_0x"
-    RPC_URL="https://rpc-testnet.0g.ai"
+    RPC_URL="https://evmrpc-testnet.0g.ai"   
+
     ```
     **Important:**
     *   Ensure the private key corresponds to an account with funds on the 0G Testnet V3.
     *   The private key should **not** have the `0x` prefix.
+  
+3.  Instal **dotenv**:
+    ```
+    npm install dotenv
+    ```
 
+

+- **Go to https://chainscan-galileo.0g.ai/contract-verification.**
+
+- Upload the flattened.sol file (if there are imports like OpenZeppelin):
+    ```bash
+    npx hardhat flatten contracts/MyToken.sol > flattened.sol
+    ```
+- Enter:
+    New contract address.

+    License (MIT)
+    Optimization settings (no).
+    EVM Version to target (Paris)
+
+    Submit for verification.
