Deploy Hardhat and Foundry development environments on a Cloud VPS for smart contract development, testing, and deployment. Local blockchain simulation, mainnet forking, and always-accessible from any device.
Smart contract development requires local blockchain nodes and testing frameworks. A VPS provides always-accessible dev environment with Hardhat, Foundry, and Ganache — accessible from any device.
Local Ethereum network, deployment scripts, and testing framework. Run local blockchain with hardhat node, deploy contracts, and write Solidity tests with Mocha/Chai.
Foundry's forge test runs Solidity tests in native EVM without JavaScript overhead — 10-100x faster than Hardhat tests. cast CLI for interaction, anvil for local blockchain.
Fork Ethereum mainnet at any block with Hardhat or Anvil. Test contracts against real DeFi protocol state — Uniswap, AAVE, Compound — locally.
Local blockchain on VPS accessible from any device via SSH tunnel. Share development environment with team members.
Everything you need — installed and configured on your VPS in minutes.
SSH in and follow these commands. Your stack will be live in under 10 minutes.
AMD Ryzen CPUs, DDR5 RAM, NVMe SSD, and 10 Gbps network — the infrastructure your workload deserves.
Solidity tests run in native EVM without JavaScript. 100 test files complete in seconds vs minutes with Hardhat. Built-in fuzzing with configurable random inputs.
hardhat node runs local Ethereum blockchain with 20 pre-funded accounts. Deploy contracts, test interactions, simulate mainnet conditions. JSON-RPC compatible with MetaMask and ethers.js.
Fork Ethereum mainnet at any block: `hardhat node --fork RPC_URL`. Test contracts interacting with live DeFi protocols without real ETH and without hitting mainnet.
Slither static analysis and Mythril symbolic execution detect vulnerabilities. Run as CI/CD pipeline steps — security scanning on every commit.
VS Code Remote SSH connects for full IDE on VPS. Consistent dev environment accessible from any computer — laptop, home machine, or library computer.
Install OpenZeppelin contracts as npm dependency. Hardhat compiles and tests inherited ERC-20, ERC-721, and Access Control contracts on local blockchain.

Foundry recommended for new projects — faster tests, native Solidity, built-in fuzzing. Hardhat better for JavaScript/TypeScript teams and complex deployment scripts. Many teams use both: Foundry for testing, Hardhat for deploy scripts.
Basic ($7/mo, 2 vCPU, 2 GB DDR5) handles Hardhat + Foundry + Ganache. For full Ethereum node alongside development, upgrade to Business ($28/mo, 120 GB NVMe).
Configure hardhat.config.js with networks.hardhat.forking.url pointing to an Ethereum RPC endpoint. hardhat node simulates mainnet state at specified block — all contract storage and balances identical to mainnet.
Ethereum full node needs 1+ TB — larger than any VPS plan. Use a separate blockchain-node-vps or free RPC tier from Alchemy/Infura for mainnet forking.
Install Slither: `pip install slither-analyzer` → `slither ./contracts`. Install Mythril: `pip install mythril` → `myth analyze Contract.sol`. Schedule as pre-commit hooks or CI/CD pipeline steps.
Configure hardhat.config.js with network settings. Store private keys in .env (never commit). Run `npx hardhat run scripts/deploy.js --network mainnet`. VPS has stable connection vs laptop with intermittent WiFi.
