HardHat local network addresses balances

Is there a way to check the balances of the accounts generated when running npx hardhat node?

I mean printing them on the console like when you first boot up the network, not fetching them through js or any script

Solution

  • Hardhat config defines the accounts task by default. It only prints the addresses but you can modify it to retrieve and print the balances as well:

    hardhat.config.js

    task("accounts", "Prints the list of accounts", async (taskArgs, hre) => {
    const accounts = await hre.ethers.getSigners();
    const provider = hre.ethers.provider;

    for (const account of accounts) {
        console.log(
            "%s (%i ETH)",
            account.address,
            hre.ethers.utils.formatEther(
                // getBalance returns wei amount, format to ETH amount
                await provider.getBalance(account.address)
            )
        );
    }
});

    Output of npx hardhat accounts

...

    You can also use the provider.getBalance() function to retrieve an account balance during runtime of your JS code.
