The objective of this project is to create a smart contract that allows the creation of a custom token on a local HardHat network. The contract owner can mint tokens to a specified address, and users can burn and transfer tokens.

To get started with the project, follow these steps:

1. Install HardHat and the necessary dependencies.
2. Configure the hardhat.config.js file.
3. Expose hardhat to localhost npx hardhat node.
4. Run the npx hardhat run --network localhost deploy.mjs script to deploy the smart contract.
5. Interact with the deployed contract using Remix or other tools.

The smart contract, Token.sol, is an ERC20 token contract that inherits from the OpenZeppelin ERC20 contract and the Ownable contract. It provides the following functionalities:

• Token Initialization: The contract initializes the token with the name "Kanshi" and symbol "KSH".
• Token Minting: The contract owner can mint new tokens to a specified address using the mint function.
• Token Burning: Users can burn their tokens using the burn function.
• Token Transfer: Users can transfer tokens to other addresses using standard ERC20 transfer functions.

To deploy the smart contract to the local HardHat network, execute the deploy.js script. The deployed contract address will be logged to the console.
