   geth --http --http.addr "127.0.0.1" --http.port "8545" --http.api "web3,eth"

2. Writing & Deploying the Solidity Contract

1. Create Project Directory:

   • Create a folder called monsters-collection for the Solidity contract.

2. Install Dependencies:

   • Install npm packages and Hardhat:

     npm install --save-dev hardhat

3. Initialize Hardhat:

   • Set up a new Hardhat project:

     npx hardhat

4. Configure Alchemy & MetaMask:

   • Set up an Alchemy app and add the Polygon network to MetaMask.

5. Write Solidity Contract:

   • Implement functions like mint, transfer, and supportsInterface as per ERC-721 standards.

6. Deploy Contract:

   • Use the following scripts to deploy the contract:

     npx hardhat run scripts/deploy.js

3. Try Running These Tasks

You can run the following Hardhat tasks to interact with your contract:
