# Verify using Hardhat

## Verify your Contract

To verify your smart contract(s) that are already deployed, refer the instructions in [Blockscout's Hardhat Contract Verification](https://docs.blockscout.com/devs/verification/hardhat-verification-plugin#verify) page. 

Run the following command on **Plume Testnet** for instance (switch the RPC and verifier URL to Mainnet to deploy on Plume Mainnet):

```sh
npx hardhat verify --network plume-testnet <your-contract-address>
```

{% hint style="warning" %}
Make sure to replace the details in the `<your-contract-address>` with your contract address.
{% endhint %}
