SC Integration into existing dev tools

[0xJepsen]

With our new support of Smart Contracts and their integration with HTS it will soon be important for us to integrate with existing development tools.

Some of the leading development tools to deploy, test, and build smart contracts are

• Hardhat (nodejs) Developed by nomiclabs
• foundry (rust) developed by Paradigms new CTO Georgios
• brownie (python)

Since we don't have an official Rust or Python SDK yet, It makes sense to prioritize integration with hardhat and the nodejs dev environment they support. Many of these libraries depend on the underlying web3, and ethers libraries. This is by no means an exhaustive list. Just what I have used and been impressed with.

Also, something exciting and unique about foundry is that it supports fuzzing. Fuzzing is one of the primary tools security researchers use to look for vulnerabilities and anomalies in program behavior, a big step in the right direction for SC security.
