Forking main net with hardhat

Moralis General
#1

Hi, Is there any timeline around supporting a forked main net? Any workarounds until then?

#2

Have you tried using an archive speedy node as a fork network in your hardhat settings?

#3

yep, does not work. Does morals support mainnet forking?

#4

What errors do you get and which mainnet? People have done it before but maybe there’s issues now.

#5

Transferred tokens after forking, tokens do not appear when doing the moralis getTokenBalance API call

#6

Ok that is a separate issue, that’s to do with the API. Can you post an example of the API call you’re making and what should it have?

#7

Here is what I have done to setup the environment.

  1. npx hardhat node --fork {MORALIS SPEEDY ARCHIVE NODE URL}
  2. ./frpc -c frpc.ini (to setup proxy for connection)
  3. moralis.Web3API.account.getNativeBalance(options);

#3 returns the balance right at the forked block number (which is zero)

  1. I then connect my hardhat fork (running on localhost) to my metamask, and transfer 1 ETH to address: XXX
  2. This transaction gets mined successfully, since it’s a local hardhat environment, and metamask shows me 1eth transferred
  3. I again make the call moralis.Web3API.account.getNativeBalance({address: XXX}); expecting it to show me 1eth, but the balance is still 0.

I was mistaken, since you’re using a forked or local chain, the Web3API won’t work with it. See here: Supported Chains - Moralis

Any update on when hardhat would be working with Moralis WEB3 API?
