  • Testing your project on a forked mainnet allows you to avoid a lot of issues you might encounter when you actually deploy it the mainnet. In this tutorial we will also learn to impersonate an account on mainnet and send transactions from it to test your contract (only if you could do it on mainnet 😉). I will keep everything as beginner friendly as possible so everyone can follow along. You can refer to this Github repository if you get stuck or reach out to me here

  • openzeppelin-contracts

    OpenZeppelin Contracts is a library for secure smart contract development.

  • Now create a folder named IERC20.sol inside your contracts folder and paste the following code into it. This is the ERC20 interface we will need to interact with the USDC contract. You can also find this code here

  • SurveyJS

    Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc.
