# Hardhat - Node RPC

> Learn how to deploy contracts through Node RPC from your Hardhat projects.

[Hardhat](https://hardhat.org/) is a development framework that facilitates the development, testing, and deployment of smart contracts. You can use Node RPC from Hardhat to compile, build, and deploy smart contracts, and run scripts using Ethers.js and Viem.

To include verification, [follow this guide](/contract-verification/hardhat).

For network-specific Hardhat config snippets, open your Node RPC in the [Tenderly Dashboard](https://dashboard.tenderly.co) open the Integrate view and switch to the **Hardhat** tab. Copy the snippet directly into your `hardhat.config.ts`.
