How does mainnet forking help in the testing process?

Mainnet forking allows you to simulate a local blockchain based on the state of a live network, enabling you to test interactions with existing protocols like Uniswap or Aave without spending real ETH.

Does it provide gas usage reports?

Yes, it includes configurations for gas reporters that help you track and optimize the gas consumption of your contract functions during the testing phase.

Can I use this skill to find security vulnerabilities?

While it doesn't replace a manual audit, it includes patterns for fuzzing, reentrancy testing, and access control validation to help identify common security flaws early.

Does this skill support both Hardhat and Foundry?

Yes, it provides comprehensive setup guides, configuration templates, and testing patterns for both the Hardhat (JavaScript/TypeScript) and Foundry (Solidity) frameworks.
