Overview of this book

Solidity is among the most popular and contract-oriented programming languages used for writing decentralized applications (DApps) on Ethereum blockchain. If you’re looking to perfect your skills in writing professional-grade smart contracts using Solidity, this book can help. You will get started with a detailed introduction to blockchain, smart contracts, and Ethereum, while also gaining useful insights into the Solidity programming language. A dedicated section will then take you through the different Ethereum Request for Comments (ERC) standards, including ERC-20, ERC-223, and ERC-721, and demonstrate how you can choose among these standards while writing smart contracts. As you approach later chapters, you will cover the different smart contracts available for use in libraries such as OpenZeppelin. You’ll also learn to use different open source tools to test, review and improve the quality of your code and make it production-ready. Toward the end of this book, you’ll get to grips with techniques such as adding security to smart contracts, and gain insights into various security considerations. By the end of this book, you will have the skills you need to write secure, production-ready smart contracts in Solidity from scratch for decentralized applications on Ethereum blockchain.

Summary

In this chapter, we have seen the ERC721 NFT standard, which is a bit different from the ERC20 token standard. Both the ERC20 and ERC721 standards serve different purposes and applications. ERC20 should be used when you need fungible tokens and each token has the same economic value. However, the ERC721 token should be used when you would need each token to be unique, and each of them can have different economic values. 

We have seen the ERC721 NFT standard implementation that the OpenZeppelin 2.1.1 library provides. As a developer, you must keep checking the OpenZeppelin library for any recent fixes or improvements to the ERC721 source code. There are many other libraries and contract files that OpenZeppelin provides, which we will have a deeper look into in the next chapter.
