The non-fungible tokens, or in short NFTs, have one the most influential roles in the crypto and Web3 scene. These are digital assets that can represent digital art, virtual collectibles, assets in games, and more. Ethereum Foundation introduced the ERC-721 standard in 2017, which helped all the crypto wallets, brokers…

Solidity programming language doesn’t have the nullability feature — One of the weirdest Solidity programming language’s quirks is the absence of null. Coming from Swift, where nullability is one of the core building blocks, it felt foreign. At first, I didn’t understand how to code without such a useful feature. …

Meet the gold standard for tokens on EVM chains — This time let’s talk about fungible tokens, one of the main building blocks in DeFi. These tokens can represent coins, gold, grain, and other assets that can be exchanged for them. We will look into one of the first Ethereum Improvement Proposal with number 20. This token standard is widely…

I am an Apple fanboy and I admit that. But one of the most frustrating things in being an app developer is dealing with the App Store review and compliance teams. This time I would like to share my experience with these problems. Even Apple’s former app approval chief has…

The Solidity programming language for Ethereum smart contracts, offers a robust feature known as structs that is indispensable in organizing and structuring information. These user-defined data types allow us to bundle variables under a single name, effectively creating blocks of organized data with set boundaries. Not only do structs enhance…

Solidity’s custom errors offer significant advantages in blockchain development, enhancing smart contract robustness and clarity. These errors provide detailed and precise error messages, improving the ease of issue diagnosis. Additionally, they strengthen code readability by allowing for clear naming of error conditions and improve gas efficiency by enabling compact encoding…

A Set structure, as used in many programming languages, is a collection of distinct elements where each item is unique, and no duplicates are allowed. This data structure is especially valuable when you need to efficiently check the existence of an item, maintain an organized collection of items without repetition…

NFT minting on Ethereum can be expensive due to the high gas fees associated with executing intelligent contract transactions on the blockchain. Previously we learned how to use the ERC-721 standard, but there is an improved standard, ERC-721A, by Azuki. It gives enormous gas savings when minting multiple NFTs in…

In a previous blog post, we discussed the importance of verifying Solidity smart contracts before deploying them onto the blockchain. However, there is a way to automate that process and make it more efficient. With the help of Hardhat, a popular development environment for Ethereum, developers can now verify their…
