A Quick Introduction on How the EVM Handles Layout in Storage

Introduction The Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) is the runtime environment for executing smart contracts on the Ethereum blockchain. Smart contracts interact with the EVM's persistent storage, also known as "storage," to store and retrieve data during their execution. Proper management of data layout in storage is crucial for efficient and secure smart contract development. In this article, we explore how the EVM handles layout in storage and the best practices to optimize storage usage. The EVM's Storage Model The EVM's [...]

An Overview of OpenZeppelin Smart Contracts

In the world of blockchain and decentralized applications (DApps), security and reliability are paramount. Smart contracts, self-executing agreements with the terms of the contract written directly into code, power the majority of DApps. However, writing secure and robust smart contracts is no easy task, and that's where OpenZeppelin comes to the rescue. OpenZeppelin is a widely recognized and trusted library of smart contracts for Ethereum and other EVM-compatible blockchains. In this article, I provide an overview of OpenZeppelin smart contracts, [...]
