Answer 1

i can give you stepwise solution if its helpful please like it

step 1: go to vs code and find localhost chain id

firstly check your default network is hardhat or not if not please change to hardhat

then find chain id using below code

  const provider=hre.ethers.provider;
  const chainId = await provider.getNetwork().then(network => network.chainId);
  console.log(`Chain ID: ${chainId}`);

step 2: find rpc url of you localhost blockchain

run below command in you cmd to find rpc url check ss for reference

npx hardhat node 

step 3: go to metamask and add network manually

fill the below details

after that add local account with your local privatekey

you can find privatekey from step 2

now you can check balance of the ether

i think now your problem has been solved
