Still can't verify my contract and I'm really sad now

I posted here: I tried everything but can't verify my contract on bsscan (err_code_2)

My topic was closed with the suggestion to follow this: How to verify a contract on Etherscan/BscScan/PolygonScan

I followed, I tried the hardhat but still can't verify.

So, I'll detail more: The error that I'm havind

 *
 * Additionally, an {Approval} event is emitted on calls to {transferFrom}.
 * This allows applications to reconstruct the allowance for all accounts just
 * by listening to said events. Other implementations of the EIP may not emit
 * these events, as it isn't required by the specification.
 *
 * Finally, the non-standard {decreaseAllowance} and {increaseAllowance}

So, I tried hardhat and have this:

My hardhat.config.js is like this:

const { mnemonic, bscscanApiKey } = require('./secrets.json');
require("@nomiclabs/hardhat-waffle");
require("@nomiclabs/hardhat-etherscan");

// This is a sample Hardhat task. To learn how to create your own go to
// https://hardhat.org/guides/create-task.html
task("accounts", "Prints the list of accounts", async (taskArgs, hre) => {
  const accounts = await hre.ethers.getSigners();

  for (const account of accounts) {
    console.log(account.address);
  }
});

// You need to export an object to set up your config
// Go to https://hardhat.org/config/ to learn more

/**
 * @type import('hardhat/config').HardhatUserConfig
 */
module.exports = {
	
	testnet: {
      url: `https://data-seed-prebsc-1-s1.binance.org:8545`,
      accounts: {mnemonic: mnemonic}
    },
    mainnet: {
      url: `https://bsc-dataseed.binance.org/`,
      accounts: {mnemonic: mnemonic}
    }
	
	etherscan: {
    // Your API key for Etherscan
    // Obtain one at https://bscscan.com/
    apiKey: "HERE I TEXTED MY API KEY",
  },
	
  solidity: "0.8.0",
};

I don't have a secrets.json file, cause I'm don't know what to put there, like, what I do with this "mnemonic" thing?

So, please help me :cry:

Hi @Rene_Lourenco, the format of your hardhat.config.js is slightly off. The testnet and mainnet items should be in a networks section, something like this:

module.exports = {
  networks: {
    testnet: {
      url: `https://data-seed-prebsc-1-s1.binance.org:8545`,
      accounts: { mnemonic: mnemonic }
    },
    mainnet: {
      url: `https://bsc-dataseed.binance.org/`,
      accounts: { mnemonic: mnemonic }
    }
  },

  etherscan: {
    // Your API key for Etherscan
    // Obtain one at https://bscscan.com/
    apiKey: "HERE I TEXTED MY API KEY",
  },

  solidity: "0.8.0",
};

For the accounts field, you can put a private key (see example) or a seed phrase that contains the accounts you want to use (see hardhat docs).

Hello, Thanks! I you try.
Where do I find these private keys and how I write in the code?
I need to create a secrets.json file I write there?
What's the format?

And this part of the code is really this way?

etherscan: {
    // Your API key for Etherscan
    // Obtain one at https://bscscan.com/
    apiKey: MYKEY,
  },

This hardhat tutorial describes how to get the private key from Metamask.

The API key should be in quotes like

  etherscan: {
    apiKey: 'MYKEY'
  },

As ericglau said, use plugin to verify contract is realllllly convenience!

Have verified for you: Contract Address 0xf71d4be296e842316e21df333c75dc70dcef54e8 | BscScan

Just follow the tutorials you mentioned above: How to verify a contract on Etherscan/BscScan/PolygonScan

Hello everyone, yesterday I couldn't pay attention to this but thank you guys so much for the help! I really appreciate, you're awesome, by now I will use the plugin.
