Step-by-step guide to getting started in Ethereum development and a survey of useful resources.

Step-by-step guide to getting started in Ethereum development and a survey of useful resources cobbled together from various other guides.Recommended step-by-step:Do introductory reading if new to the concepts of blockchain, smart contracts and decentralized finance.Complete CryptoZombies walkthrough to learn solidity syntax and NFT concepts:Do Solidity course on Chainshot to cement your understanding of smart contractsWalkthrough building a full React dApp: Complete Guide to Full Stack ETH Development - Video CourseFamiliarize yourself with Smart Contract security practices and run through Ethernaut hacking wargame to test your understanding.Setup a comprehensive production stackNow use your stack to build increasingly complex dApps without guardrails:🚤 Follow the full Ethereum Speed Run🎟 Create your first NFT🥩 Build a staking smart contract🏵 Deploy a token and vendor🎫 Extend the NFT example to make a “buyer mints” marketplace🎲 Learn about commit/reveal✍️ Learn how ecrecover works👩‍👩‍👧‍👧 Build a multi-sig that uses off-chain signatures⏳ Extend the multi-sig to stream ETH⚖️ Learn how a simple DEX works🦍 Ape into learning!Congratulations, you’re now an expert in the most lucrative & in-demand field in coding.ResourcesAll resources are free and mainly from conversations in the CryptoDevHub community - their wiki is highly recommended for further resources. BuildGuidl is another very helpful developer community with a lot of resources on their site.UnderstandIntroductory Crypto/Blockchain Reading list https://danromero.org/crypto-reading/Introductory Crypto/Defi Reading list https://a16z.com/2018/02/10/crypto-readings-resources/The Beigepaper which describes Ethereum and the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) in an easy to understand way: https://github.com/chronaeon/beigepaperDefi Report https://consensys.net/reports/defi-report-q1-2021/How do Automated Market Makers work? https://medium.com/crypto-scribbles/how-do-automated-market-makers-work-1f25d0d48bc2How does Compound work? https://medium.com/crypto-scribbles/how-does-compound-work-d2ef77ccf389Resource PacksDeFi Developer Road Map https://github.com/OffcierCia/DeFi-Developer-Road-MapEthereum dApp Development Guide and Wiki: https://wiki.cryptodevhub.io/ethereum-evm/getting-startedKnow Ethereum https://knowethereum.com/Entry Guides (Like this One)CryptoDevHub getting Started from Scratch: https://cryptodevhub.io/wiki/blockchain-development-tutorialHow to Become a DeFi Developer https://defiweekly.substack.com/p/how-to-become-a-defi-developerJoseph’s How to become an Ethereum Developer Guide: https://hackmd.io/@1LsqLgZ9SFyvmF1L1suBIw/dapp-devBuidl Guide: https://github.com/austintgriffith/scaffold-eth#-documentationTutorialsInteractive TutorialsSolidity NFT Game Walkthrough: https://cryptozombies.io/The Ethernaut - Solidity hacking wargame https://ethernaut.openzeppelin.com/Blockchain: https://blockchaindemo.io/dAppUltimate Ethereum Dapp Tutorial (How to Build a Full Stack Decentralized Application Step-By-Step https://www.dappuniversity.com/articles/the-ultimate-ethereum-dapp-tutorialFull Stack dApp Development: https://dev.to/dabit3/the-complete-guide-to-full-stack-ethereum-development-3j13Building a Dapp https://docs.openzeppelin.com/learn/building-a-dappSolidityLearn Solidity in Y Minutes https://learnxinyminutes.com/docs/solidity/Solidity by Example https://solidity-by-example.org/BlockchainEthereum Blockchain Developer Guide https://ethereum-blockchain-developer.com/StacksScaffold Eth - Ethereum dev stack focused on fast product iterations https://github.com/austintgriffith/scaffold-ethMoney Legos - DeFi Stack https://github.com/studydefi/money-legosOpenZeppelin - Secure Smart Contract Building Blocks https://github.com/OpenZeppelin/openzeppelin-contractsBest Practices & SecurityBest Practices for Smart Contract Development https://yos.io/2019/11/10/smart-contract-development-best-practices/Ethereum Smart Contract Security Best Practices https://consensys.github.io/smart-contract-best-practicesCommon Smart Contract vulnerabilities you might want to read through this article: https://yos.io/2018/10/20/smart-contract-vulnerabilities-and-how-to-mitigate-them/Security Resouces https://wiki.cryptodevhub.io/ethereum-evm/securityTips & ToolsWiki: https://cryptodevhub.io/wiki/ethereum-virtual-machine-tools#ethereum-developer-tools-list Comprehensive list: https://github.com/ConsenSys/ethereum-developer-tools-listFree Ethereum Gateway HostingCloudflare offers a signup- and cost free hosted Ethereum Gateway –> https://developers.cloudflare.com/distributed-web/ethereum-gatewayAll you need to do is use https://cloudflare-eth.com in your web3.js or ethers provider setup call. No signup, no API key. Just copy- and paste and you’re connected to mainnet.You can use this as a replacement for Infura or Alchemy if you e.g. want to save API credits.Multicall - Bundle Contract Calls to Reduce LoadMulticall by Maker is a real “hidden” gem. It bundles multiple constant contract calls to reduce load on the Ethereum Node / Ethereum Node Provider you’re using.You can i.e. do 10 requests but they’re then combined into just 1. This helps you save API credits when you’re e.g. using Infura.https://github.com/makerdao/multicallYou can use ethcall if you’re using ethers for a nice wrapper around multicallhttps://github.com/Destiner/ethcallDebug Smart Contract RevertsIf you ever get stuck with hard to debug Smart Contract reverts definitely check out the Tenderly Explorer: https://dashboard.tenderly.co/explorerSimply paste in your failed transaction, hit enter and you’ll get an in-depth stack trace of everything that happened up during the point your transaction was reverted.This saved me hours while working with more complex Smart Contract calls in the context of Flash Loans…Walletlink - Extensionless Wallet ConnectionIf you’re looking for a simple way to connect your users wallets to your dApp without the requirement for browser extensions, you might want to take a look at WalletLink: https://github.com/walletlink/walletlinkTakes less than 5 minutes and 15 lines of code to setupGas Optimization Resourceshttps://betterprogramming.pub/how-to-write-smart-contracts-that-optimize-gas-spent-on-ethereum-30b5e9c5db85https://eattheblocks.com/how-to-optimize-gas-cost-in-a-solidity-smart-contract-6-tips/https://www.researchgate.net/publication/340300470_Design_Patterns_for_Gas_Optimization_in_EthereumDocsSolidity https://docs.soliditylang.org/Web3js https://web3js.readthedocs.io/
