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.

Using myetherwallet.com

There is a website called https://www.myetherwallet.com/, which also provides tools to access the Ethereum blockchain and initiate some special transactions:

The myetherwallet.com website provides tools for Ethereum

As shown in the preceding screenshot, using this, you can perform the following operations:

  • Create a new Ethereum paper wallet. When the private key is printed on paper and kept secret this is called a paper wallet.
  • Connect using different hardware wallets and different wallet formats and initiate the transactions.
  • Just like the Remix IDE can access contract functions, in the same way, you can also access these functions via myetherwallet.com using the ABI of the contract only.
  • Using Send Offline, you can sign the Ethereum transaction from an offline (air gapped) computer to improve security.
  • Using Ethereum Name Service (ENS), you can register...
