The Zilliqa team announced via a blog post on Friday that it has released version 3.8.0 of the Scilla plugin for Hardhat. Hardhat is a development environment for smart contracts and decentralised applications (dApps). It makes it easy for developers to create, edit, compile, debug, and deploy smart contracts on EVM-compatible networks.
The Scilla plugin for Hardhat allows developers to test, build, and deploy smart contracts written in Scilla on the Zilliqa network. The plugin's latest version includes several general fixes and several new features, including major improvements to contract deployment.
The team explained that version 3.8.0 of the Scilla plugin for Hardhat adds customisable deployment options, giving developers greater control over smart contract deployment by allowing them to override preset deployment parameters such as the gas price and gas limit.
Zilliqa (ZIL) is one of the world’s first blockchains being built on a sharded architecture and features smart contracts written in the platform’s proprietary programming language: Scilla. ZIL is trading at $0.03335 at press time, up by less than 1% in the last 24 hours.
