Problem
When updating heminetwork testnet and mainnet, we often have to perform high-risk operations such as deploying contracts.
We want an isolated environment which serves as a fork of the heminetwork (testnet or mainnet) that can continue locally and isolated separate from the production network.
On this isolated network, we can test deployments and easily wipe it and start again if needed.

Suggested solution
Use Hardhat's feature to fork other networks and set up a network similar to localnet that operates on that fork with a new sequencer specific to the local environment.
With the fork, keys that work on the production network should still work locally for transactions.
