A smart contract audit is a review by blockchain security experts to ensure that users will not lose funds due to a malfunction or security vulnerability. Furthermore, an audit tries to anticipate unexpected and undesirable smart contract behavior before the contract is deployed. Navigating this field is tricky. There are…

This article serves as a mini-course on smart contract security and provides an extensive list of the issues and vulnerabilities that tend to recur in Solidity smart contracts. A security issue in Solidity boils down to smart contracts not behaving the way they were intended to. …

In this tutorial, we’ll be learn how to build a Web 3 Dapp (Decentralized Application) that connects to your crypto wallet, allowing you to transfer funds and mint NFTs. We’ll be using Next.js, a popular React framework, and Wagmi.sh, …

RareSkills has released a free and comprehensive introduction to Solidity for experienced programmers. Although there are many resources for the language, many of them are written to a audiences new to programming. It is wonderful that blockchain has introduced many people to the world of coding. But for senior engineers…

To test an internal solidity function, create a child contract that inherits from the contract being tested, wrap the parent contract’s internal function with an external one, then test the external function in the child. Foundry calls this inheriting contract a “harness” though others call it a “fixture.” Don’t change…

The maximum value of uint256 can be obtained with type(uint256).max; Which is equal to 115792089237316195423570985008687907853269984665640564039457584007913129639935 (2²⁵⁶ — 1). But it’s cleaner and safer to use type(uint256).max. The same can be used for signed integer types //57896044618658097711785492504343953926634992332820282019728792003956564819967 type(int256).max; //-57896044618658097711785492504343953926634992332820282019728792003956564819968 type(int256).min;

Solidity events are the closest thing to a print or console.log statement in Ethereum. We will explain how they work, when to use them, and go into a lot of technical details often omitted in other resources. Here is a minimal example of a solidity event. Perhaps the most…

Introduction EIP-1167, which is also referred to as the minimal proxy contract, is a commonly used solidity pattern for cheaply creating proxy clones. If a use case requires deploying an identical contract (or very similar contract) repeatedly, this is a more gas efficient way to do it. For example, gnosis safe…

At first glance, it’s hard to see why you should care about ERC4626. How it works is you deposit one ERC20 token into the ERC4626 contract, let’s call it token A, and get another ERC20 token back, call it token B At a later date, you can put token B…
