## Code Modernization and Performance The Datamine Network development repository has completed a major modernization phase to optimize code structure and execution. A key change includes refactoring modular helpers to eliminate barrel files (index.ts). This architectural refinement improves tree-shaking—ensuring only necessary code is bundled—and enhances overall test isolation for the decentralized ecosystem. ## Type Safety and Tooling Upgrades To maintain robust security standards, hardhat-typechain has been fully configured. This guarantees end-to-end type safety for all smart contract interactions during testing, preventing integration errors. Additionally, code formatting is strictly enforced through integrated Prettier scripts to maintain a clean codebase. The project’s deployment pipeline is now supported by a modernized suite of Hardhat plugins, including hardhat-verify, hardhat-keystore, and hardhat-ignition. These tools seamlessly manage the complete lifecycle of Datamine's decentralized smart contracts, from initial testing to secure on-chain deployment and public verification.
