hardhat VS EIPs

Hardhat is an Ethereum development framework for creating, testing and deploying smart contracts. It includes a suite of tools that aid in developing smart contracts and managing the complete development process, allowing developers to write scripts, compile, test, and deploy efficiently.

That's it for the first part ! Then we will use Hardhat to deploy our Solidity Contract on the Polygon testnet, and then overload our mintNFT() function with the actual minting. If you want to see the Part 2 quickly, give us some love and we will execute ! ❤️❤️❤️

To keep things simple and visible (in case you cant deploy), we will use Sepolia testnet blockchain and Hardhat as development environment, so to configure hardhat to use sepolia we need to add the following configuration to the hardhat.config.js file:

The documentation has no mention of Trezor wallet support. According to this GitHub issue I could try out this Frame application, but I was wondering if there was a simpler solution that didn't require installing some 3rd party application.

I have two skipped tests because at the time of writing this article events firing doesn't work properly in the latest version. Link to the github issue

Other options include Remix (an IDE), ChainIDE, Anchor (for Solana), Hardhat, and lots of others. Web3 dev environments have come a long way in a short time, and there’s probably something out there for whatever you need.

Hardhat allows developers to build, test, and deploy smart contracts and dApps using a variety of tools and libraries. With over 114K users on GitHub and an active Discord community, Hardhat is a hugely popular framework for dApp developers. Much of its popularity can be attributed to its rich list of features, flexibility and the Hardhat Ethereum Virtual Machine for testing and debugging smart contracts.

The hardhat-ethers plugin adds the ethers.js library to the Hardhat node, making it possible to use its functionalities. It's possible to use it to deploy the contract, but since our goal is to create transactions, we can also add some code to do that as well.

Also learning how to use one of these development environments instead of Remix is necessary: 1. Hardhat: https://hardhat.org 2. Foundry: https://github.com/foundry-rs/foundry

Even more relevant would be the Ethereum Improvement Proposal repo (where people submit proposals to change the spec):

Or the go-ethereum execution client (the most popular execution client):

It’s early in the life of the xERC20 standard, but progress is quickly being made. The standard has been audited and is already live with a few projects. The EIP to adopt the standard has been created, and implementation has begun. Alchemix recently announced support for the xERC20 standard. And Defi Wonderland has published a suggested implementation on their GitHub. This implementation has an interface for the xERC20 contract with eight core functions that the token issuer must implement. These are functions related to setting the Lockbox contract (setLockbox), issuance limits for bridges (setLimits, mintingMaxLimitOf, burningMaxLimitOf, etc.), and the core mint and burn functions.

ERC223 is not widely implemented, and there is some debate in the ERC discussion thread about backward compatibility and trade-offs between implementing changes at the contract interface level versus the user interface.

Ethereum Improvement Proposals (EIPs): These are proposals to change various aspects of Ethereum. They often contain detailed technical discussion and can be a good resource for understanding the finer points of how Ethereum works. EIPs can be found here: https://eips.ethereum.org/

Additionally, I have made an EIP that can help standardise and maintain official contract registry of each DApp. This can help identify official contracts of a protocol vs scammers using fraud contracts but presenting like official protocol. https://github.com/ethereum/EIPs/pull/6807
