Hi guys, I am trying to deploy smart contracts on Aurora testnet chain through hardhat.  
It works slow but okay to deploy a single contract, but when I create a deploy.js file to deploy multiple smart contracts, it just stops in the middle of deployment.  
Does anybody has a same issue with me? or is it just my thing?

Stops? Or is something returned? If nothing is returned then that makes it quite harder to debug :S.

Nothing returns, it just stops after deploying 3 to 5 contracts out of 19 contracts. I guess it could be a testnet issue, I have succeeded to deploy all 19 contracts on the mainnet.

Might be an RPC infrastructure issue. Both mainnet and testnet were the same at the time you started having problems.

Did you try deploying all 19 contract through a node provider…it might help debug the point of failure
