Contracts folder#

Store solidity contracts here.

Deploy folder#

The deploy folder is expected to contains the deploy script that are executed upon invocation of hardhat deploy or hardhat node.

Each file is run async depending on it's name. So using a naming convention like:

00_deploy_greeter.js;
01_deploy_basic_nft.js;
02_deploy_dynamic_svg_nft.js;
03_deploy_random_ipfs_nft.js;
04_mint.js;

will run each file in this order.

Deployments folder#

The deployments folder will contain the resulting deployments (contract addresses along their abi, bytecode, metadata...). One folder per network and one file per contract.
