# Verify with Hardhat

Since Chiliz Chain is an EVM-compatible chain, you can verify your contract using the standard [hardhat-verify](https://hardhat.org/docs/guides/smart-contract-verification) plugin, relying on a block explorer API to bridge your development environment with the blockchain itself.

Both Chiliscan and Chiliz Block Explorer provide a documentation on Hardhat verification:
