Hardhat 3 is now in beta, and ready for production use!
Changes
Hardhat 3 is a major overhaul with exciting new features:
- Solidity tests as a first-class testing option
- Multichain support for today's rollup-centric world
- Rust-powered runtime for faster execution
- Revamped build system with full npm compatibility and build profiles
