Never worry about dev ops for the intricate and resource-draining tasks of setting up and managing a forked chain environment on your own again.

It's like having a sandboxed environment where you can develop on the mainnet without conducting real transactions or incurring any costs. It's a great tool for development and testing before deploying on the live network.

Develop, compile, test, and deploy smart contracts efficiently with Hardhat's comprehensive toolset, including the ability to fork the chain at a specific block before initiating tests, ensuring accurate and reliable results. Access our in-house guides to master smart contract writing and deployment.

Click the login button and select your preferred endpoint to fork, then click the drop-down and click "Create Fork". This will kick off the build process and get you a hardhat URL. From here you can deploy contracts! If you need some private keys with hardhat native tokens on them, here are two:
