## What it is
A Hardhat-based starter template for developing Solidity smart contracts with TypeScript. It bundles Hardhat, Ethers, TypeChain, Solhint, Solcover, Prettier, ESLint, and pre-configured GitHub Actions CI with sensible defaults.

## Use cases
- bootstrap a new solidity smart contract project
- set up hardhat with typescript and typechain bindings
- template for ethereum contract development with testing and linting
- start a smart contract repo with github actions ci
- generate typescript bindings for solidity contracts
- solidity project with code coverage and solhint linting

## When to choose
- starting a new Solidity smart contract project from scratch
- you want Hardhat, TypeChain, Ethers, linting, coverage, and CI preconfigured
- you prefer TypeScript tooling for Ethereum development

## When to avoid
- you already have an existing Hardhat project with its own setup
- you use a different framework like Foundry or Truffle
- you need a production application rather than a development template

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: active
- function: build-tool, testing, linter, formatter, ci-cd
- domain: blockchain, developer-tools
- platform: cli
- tags: solidity, hardhat, ethereum, smart-contracts, typechain, ethers, template, boilerplate, boilerplate, nodejs, typescript
