Wrapped Ether (WETH) Contract

WETH is an ERC20-compliant version of Ether (ETH), enabling more straightforward interactions with smart contracts and decentralized applications. This contract allows users to wrap their Ether into an ERC20-compatible token, facilitating activities like trading on decentralized exchanges.

Methods:

1. deposit()

• Deposits Ether into the contract and mints an equivalent amount of WETH tokens to the sender's account.
• Payable function, the amount of Ether to deposit should be sent as the transaction value.

2. withdraw(uint256 _amount)

• Withdraws _amount WETH from the sender's account and sends back an equivalent amount of Ether. The caller must have at least _amount WETH in their account.
• Burns the _amount of WETH tokens from the sender's account.

Prerequisites

• Node.js v12+ LTS and npm (comes with Node)
• Hardhat

Installation

Clone the repository:

Quick Start Guide

1. Testing

Run the following command to execute the contract tests. Make sure you've written the tests in your Hardhat project's test directory.

npx hardhat test

2. Deployment:

Run the following command to compile the contracts using the Solidity compiler and deploy the WETH to your Caerus network.

npx hardhat run scripts/deploy.js --network caerus
