    Hardhat version 2.19.5
    
    Usage: hardhat [GLOBAL OPTIONS] verify [--constructor-args <INPUTFILE>] [--contract <STRING>] [--libraries <INPUTFILE>] [--list-networks] [--no-compile] [address] [...constructorArgsParams]
    
    OPTIONS:
    
      --constructor-args	File path to a javascript module that exports the list of arguments. 
      --contract        	Fully qualified name of the contract to verify. Skips automatic detection of the contract. Use if the deployed bytecode matches more than one contract in your project. 
      --libraries       	File path to a javascript module that exports the dictionary of library addresses for your contract. Use if there are undetectable library addresses in your contract. Library addresses are undetectable if they are only used in the constructor for your contract. 
      --list-networks   	Print the list of supported networks 
      --no-compile      	Don't compile before running this task 
    
    POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS:
    
      address              	Address of the smart contract to verify 
      constructorArgsParams	Contract constructor arguments. Ignored if the --constructor-args option is used. (default: [])
