• The contract address is hard-coded, which may cause issues when testing on a different chain.

23:48 Test the accuracy of price feed version

• Create a test function to check the get version function
• Assert that the returned version is '4'

34:35 Refactored code to make deployments more modular and flexible.

• Previously, the code was hard-coded to deploy only on a specific chain, making it restrictive and difficult to change.
• By introducing constructor parameters and removing hard-coded addresses, the code can now be deployed on different chains with ease.
• Refactoring the code also improves maintainability and makes testing on different chains much easier.

39:39 Refactoring to make deployment more efficient and flexible

• Refactored the code to create a new deploy fund me contract
• Implemented a helper config contract to deploy mock contracts on a local Anvil chain and obtain contract addresses

• Hoax the address and add some ether to it
• Call fundme.fun with the new address
• Arrange and setup for more tests
• Use chisel tool to debug solidity code in terminal
• Continue writing tests for other scenarios

1:39:38 Storage in Solidity: Global variables and their storage

• Global variables are stored in a 'storage' array which is like a giant list of all the variables that we create.
• Each variable is slotted into a 32-byte long slot in the storage array.
• Dynamic values like dynamic arrays or mappings are stored using hashing functions.
• Constant variables and immutable variables do not take up storage slots.
• Variables inside functions exist only during the function execution and are stored in their own memory data structure.

1:44:42 Reading and writing from Storage in Solidity is an expensive operation.

• Storage operations in Solidity consume a significant amount of gas.
• Each opcode in the bytecode has a specific gas cost associated with it.
• It is important to optimize gas usage when working with Storage in Solidity.

1:55:09 Understand the importance of storage variables in Solidity.

• Storage variables are automatically identified by the Solidity visual developer.
• Using the visual developer may clutter the user experience.
• The Solidity docs provide a style guide for code layout.
• Ionier and price feed Getters have been added.
• A readme.md file should be added to explain the code.
• Integration tests should be performed programmatically.
• Push the code to GitHub to build portfolios.
• Use the chain link solidity style guide for best practices.
• Style guides make coding easier and improve readability.
• Create interaction scripts for funding and withdrawing.
• A tool called Foundry devops helps in grabbing the most recently deployed contract address.

2:00:13 Install and use the Foundry devops tool to get the most recently deployed contract address

• Set ffi to true in foundry.taml to allow Foundry to run commands directly
• Import devops tools from Foundry to access the get most recent deployment script
• Call the get most recent deployment function with the contract name and block.chain ID
• Fund the most recently deployed contract by calling the fund function with the contract address
• Separate the funding process into its own function
• Create integration tests to test the interaction of systems

2:12:18 Make files are great for automatically grabbing environment variables without having to manually set them every time.

• Make files allow us to create shortcuts for commands including environment variables.
• We can define shortcuts for various commands such as build or deploy in the make file.

2:17:53 Learn how to use make commands to deploy and test code

• Make commands can be used to deploy code to different networks
• Make commands can also be used to clean, update, and test code
• Make files are helpful for simplifying and automating commands
• GitHub is a crucial tool for version control and collaboration in the crypto community

• Built a GitHub repo and pushed it

2:44:29 Interacting with the contract on the blockchain

• The code is designed to work with the Foundry fund contract
• The get balance function makes an API call via the RPC URL to fetch the balance

2:49:47 The website interacts with Metamask to call the 'fund' function on the smart contract.

• The website uses ethers.js to connect to the Metamask wallet and obtain the contract address, ABI, and signer.
• When the 'fund' function is called, a transaction is sent to Metamask for the user to confirm.

3:00:11 Interacting with websites and wallets in full stack applications

• Connect your browser extension wallet to the website
• Get the provider or RPC URL from the wallet
• Send transactions from the website to the wallet
• Confirm or deny transactions in the browser
• Protect against malicious transactions and understand function selectors

3:05:37 Create a provably random smart contract Lottery.

• Users can enter by paying for a ticket.
• Ticket fees go to the winner during the draw.
• The lottery automatically draws a winner after a set period of time.
• Chainlink VRF is used to generate a truly random number.
• Chainlink automation is used to facilitate the drawing process.

3:15:53 The layout of a Solidity contract follows a specific order

• The recommended code layout starts with pragma and import statements, followed by interfaces and libraries, and then contracts
• Within the contracts, the order is type declarations, state variables, events, modifiers, and functions
• Function grouping should place view and pure functions last
• Using a consistent code layout makes the code base look more professional and helps with code organization

3:21:06 Keep track of users in an array to choose random winner.

• Use an address array to store players entering the lottery.
• Push the payable message sender onto the array when someone enters.
• Use events to make storage updates and contract data indexing easier.

3:30:46 Events are important in smart contracts

• The event logs contain information about the contract or account address, topic parameters, and non-indexed parameters
• The non-indexed parameters are encoded using ABI and are harder to decode
• Events are useful for tracking and querying data changes in the contract
• In this example, an 'entered raffle' event is created when a player enters the raffle
• Events can be emitted using the 'emit' keyword in functions
• Events should be emitted whenever storage is updated
• A 'pick winner' function is introduced to select a random winner from the participants
• The 'pick winner' function checks if enough time has passed since the last winner was picked

3:36:04 Chainlink VRF provides developers with better scalability, flexibility, and control.

• Using Chainlink VRF allows developers to generate verifiable randomness in their applications.
• Developers need to create and fund a subscription account to use Chainlink VRF.
• The subscription account acts as a bucket for all contracts to pull funds from.
• To get a random number using Chainlink VRF, developers need to deploy a contract and link it to their subscription account.

3:45:34 Using Chainlink VRF to Get Random Values

• The process of using Chainlink VRF involves two transactions: one to request the random number and another to retrieve it.
• The documentation provides code examples for making the request, including the coordinator address and key hash.
• The subscription method is recommended for scalability, and the documentation explains how to set up a subscription.
• The random number is obtained in the callback function, which is the transaction sent back by the Chainlink node.
• By following the documentation and making the necessary function calls, developers can successfully retrieve random values using Chainlink VRF.

3:50:20 Generate random numbers using VRF coordinator with confirmations and gas limit

• Use the VRF coordinator to request random numbers
• Set the gas limit for the callback function
• Configure the number of random numbers to generate

4:01:08 Pick a random winner from an array of players using a modulo function

• The contract calls the vrf coordinator to generate a random number
• The random number is used to select a winner from the player array

4:06:21 Pick a random winner and pay them the entire balance of the contract.

• Generate a random number using RNG.
• Use the random number to determine the winner from an array of players.
• Transfer the entire balance of the contract to the winner's address.

4:17:07 Design pattern: Checks, Effects, Interactions

• Perform checks first
• Apply effects next
• Interact with other contracts last

4:22:37 The contract is simplified by removing unnecessary functions and using a time-based function for counting.

• The contract is modified to remove checkupkeep and perform upkeep functions.
• A new function called count is added to increase a counter at regular intervals.
• The constructor sets the counter to zero.
• The contract is compiled and deployed successfully.
• The count function is tested and verified.
• The contract is integrated with Keepers using the ABI (Application Binary Interface).

4:33:54 ChainLink automation for lottery execution

• Set up check upkeep function to tell ChainLink nodes when to call perform upkeep.
• Perform upkeep kicks off a ChainLink VRF call.
• Checkup keep function should return true if conditions are met for upkeep.
• Conditions for upkeep: time interval has passed between raffle runs, raffle is in open state, contract has players, and subscription is funded with link.

4:39:20 The code is set up to perform upkeep for a lottery

• The code checks if the balance is greater than zero
• The code checks if there are players
• The code returns upkeep needed if the checks pass
• The code simulates the perform upkeep function as a view function
• The code reverts with an error if it's not time for upkeep

4:50:18 We need to create mocks for the contracts used in our code

• If the chain ID is sepolia, set the active network config to sepolia config
• If the chain ID is not sepolia, set the active network config to get or create Anvil config
• Import the vrf coordinator V2 mock from the chain link contracts
• Deploy the vrf coordinator V2 mock
• Set the constructor parameters for the vrf coordinator V2 mock
• Return the network config with the vrf coordinator mock address

4:56:16 Deploy script and helper config are used to deploy and interact with a raffle.

• The deploy script imports the necessary config and deploys the raffle contract.
• The helper config provides parameters for the raffle deployment and interaction.
• Tests are written to ensure the proper functionality of the deploy script and raffle contract.

5:07:50 Performing upkeep on the raffle contract

• Enter the raffle by calling enter raffle function.
• Change the state of the raffle to calculating.
• Pass enough time for the upkeep to be triggered.
• Ensure that the checkupkeep function returns true.

5:13:39 There is a need to refactor the deploy raffle script to add a valid subscription

• The current deploy raffle script does not have a valid subscription ID
• A subscription ID is required to make the necessary calls
• If a subscription ID is not available, a new subscription needs to be created
• Interactions.sol script will be created to handle the creation of subscriptions

5:24:52 We can create a subscription programmatically.

• The createSubscription function allows us to generate a subscription ID.
• We can fund the subscription with Link tokens.

5:30:07 We need to fund the subscription by creating a contract called fund subscription.

• Create the fund subscription contract with a fund amount of three ethers.
• Implement the run function to call the fund subscription contract.
• Define the function fund to specify the subscription ID, VRF coordinator V2 address, and link address.
• Obtain the link token address and add it to the config.
• Install the soulmate and openzeppelin/contracts libraries.
• Import the link token contract and instantiate it in Anvil.

5:41:42 We can create and fund a subscription and add a consumer using the raffle contract.

• To create and fund a subscription, we need to test it on a fork before running it.
• To add a consumer, we need to get the most recently deployed raffle contract and use the addConsumer function with the required parameters.

5:47:33 We can deploy a raffle contract, create a subscription, fund it, and add a consumer all in one command

• We can generate a raffle subscription and fund it if it doesn't exist
• We can add the funded subscription as a consumer to the raffle

6:00:19 Performing upkeep updates raffle state and emits request ID

• Performing upkeep function updates the raffle state
• Performing upkeep function emits the request ID event

6:06:23 Create a modifier and refactor code to reduce redundancy.

• Create a modifier called 'modifier raffle enter' to eliminate redundant code.
• Refactor the code to include the new modifier.

6:18:15 The code contains multiple asserts causing errors and it is recommended to have one assert per test.

• There are multiple logs indicating an error, but it is not clear what the specific issue is.
• Having multiple asserts in a test makes it difficult to identify the exact problem.
• Best practice is to have one assert per test to ensure clear identification of errors.

6:24:06 The balance calculation is incorrect due to not considering the subtracted money from the player's entry fee.

• Console logging the prize and starting user balance reveals the difference between them.
• The current balance should be the starting user balance plus the prize minus the entrance fee.
• After making the necessary changes, the tests pass successfully.
• The test coverage of the raffle contract is 91% for lines, 92% for statements, 75% for branches, and 80% for functions.
• There is an error when running the tests on forking. The issue is related to the deployer's private key.
• The error occurs because only the person who launched the subscription can add a consumer.
• To address both issues, changes need to be made in the code to handle both scenarios.

6:34:53 The tests are failing due to differences between the mock contract and the real vrf coordinator

• The real vrf coordinator has different inputs and requires a proof and a request commitment
• The mock contract is easier to test locally but behaves differently on a real network
• Code can be added to skip these tests when running on a forked chain

6:40:26 Unit tests, integration tests, and staging tests are important for testing smart contracts.

• Unit tests ensure individual functions and components are working correctly.
• Integration tests check if different parts of the contract work together correctly.
• Staging tests simulate a realistic environment and test the contract against real networks.
• Running Forge coverage helps identify areas without sufficient test coverage.
• Consider running tests on a live testnet or mainnet to ensure the contract works in a production environment.
• Writing a Makefile can simplify the process of running tests and deployments.

6:51:32 Anvil deployment and verification completed successfully

• Anvil deployment failed, but private key was not printed
• Anvil deployment and make Anvil were copied from make file
• Verification and subscription on sepulia were successful
• Raffle contract entry and verification on etherscan were successful
• New upkeep registered with custom logic

6:56:47 Setting up and using Chainlink VRF for automatic calling and execution

• Create a subscription with Chainlink Network for automatic calling
• Monitor and verify the success of the execution through different platforms

7:07:45 ERC20 tokens are smart contract tokens that follow the ERC20 token standard.

• ERC20s are tokens deployed on a chain using the ERC20 token standard.
• ERC20s can represent various assets and provide additional functionality.
• Building an ERC20 token requires creating a smart contract that follows the token standard.

7:13:00 Pipeline is a popular tool for automatically testing code in GitHub.

• NFTs solve the issue of fair compensation by providing decentralized audit and royalty trails.
• ERC721 is the basis of the NFT standard, with unique token IDs and token URIs.
• Token URIs allow for off-chain storage of metadata, but on-chain attributes enable more creative possibilities.
• Having attributes on-chain guarantees the authenticity of an NFT.

7:56:19 A token URI is an endpoint that returns metadata for an NFT.

• Token URI is a function in the ERC721 standard that can be overridden.
• NFT metadata includes title, type, and properties.
• NFT images are hosted on IPFS.
• IPFS is a distributed and decentralized data structure.

8:01:36 IPFS allows for decentralized storage and replication of data and code.

• Data and code can be hashed and pinned to IPFS nodes.
• IPFS nodes communicate and replicate data with each other.
• IPFS nodes can choose which data to pin and store.
• IPFS is different from a blockchain as it doesn't support smart contracts.
• Other nodes can pin your data to ensure decentralization.
• You can host code and data in a decentralized context on IPFS.
• IPFS nodes can be easily deployed and are lightweight.
• IPFS URLs can be used to access and connect to specific nodes or code.
• Install IPFS desktop to work with IPFS files.
• IPFS companion can be added to browsers for easier IPFS browsing and rendering.

8:11:58 The basic NFT allows users to choose their own token URI

• The token URI can be passed in as a string
• A mapping is used to associate token IDs with token URIs
• The safe mint function is used to mint the NFT
• The balance is incremented and the token counter is set
• The NFT can be customized to look different

8:18:25 Strings in Solidity cannot be compared directly. Instead, they need to be converted to bytes and hashed for comparison.

• Strings are dynamic arrays and can't be compared directly with '==' operator.
• To compare strings, they need to be converted to bytes and then hashed for comparison.
• The ABI.encodePacked() function can be used to convert strings to bytes.
• The hash of the bytes can be obtained using sha256.
• By comparing the hashes, we can determine if two strings are the same.

8:30:20 Deployed an NFT and viewed it in MetaMask

• Used make file to deploy the NFT contract to sepolia testnet
• Minted a new NFT by calling the mint function on the deployed contract
• Viewed the NFT in MetaMask by importing the contract address and token ID

10:01:36 Solidity code can be used to encode and decode data into binary format.

• Encoding and decoding can be done using ABI.encode and ABI.decode functions.
• Decoding is necessary to convert binary data back into readable form.
• Multi-encoding and multi-decoding can performed for multiple variables.
• Packed encoding and decoding is another method for typecasting variables.
• The 'data' field in transaction can be manually populated with binary code.

10:12:30 We can call any function by using the data field and encoding the function name and parameters

• To encode the function name and parameters, we need to grab the function selector, which is the first four bytes of the function signature
• The function signature is a string that defines the function name and parameters
• The function selector helps Solidity understand which function is being called
• We can fetch the function selector by encoding the function signature
• The function selector is crucial to call any function using the data field

10:17:35 Get selector and encode parameters to call transfer function remotely

• Use getSelectorOne function to get the selector for the transfer function
• Encode the address and amount parameters with the selector using ABI.encodeWithSelector()

10:27:50 Learned about lower-level Solidity and recommended resources.

• Explored low-level Solidity concepts and gained knowledge in this advanced topic.
• Provided links to external resources for further learning, including 'Deconstructing Solidity' by Open Zeppelin.
• Discussed the importance of understanding function selectors and how they can be verified using tools like the Samczsun signature database or Openchain.xyz.
• Noted the issue of function signature collisions and demonstrated with an example in Remix IDE.

10:33:13 Verify function selector and parameters for secure transactions

• Check the contract address to ensure it is as expected
• Verify the function selector to confirm the correct function is being called
• Decode the call data to check the input parameters

😊Happy Learning!
