Interaction & Verification

๐ŸŽ“ Key Takeaways

Congratulations! You've learned how to deploy and interact with smart contracts. Let's review what you've mastered.

๐Ÿ“
Writing Contracts

You learned Solidity basics: state variables, functions, visibility modifiers, and data types.

โš™๏ธ
Compilation

Solidity compiler (solc) transforms code into bytecode + ABI that the EVM understands.

๐Ÿš€
Deployment

Send transaction with bytecode, pay gas (~50K), get unique contract address on blockchain.

๐Ÿ“–
Reading Data

View functions execute locally, cost zero gas, return data instantly. Perfect for queries!

โœ๏ธ
Writing Data

State-changing functions cost gas, create transactions, wait for block confirmation (~15s).

โœ…
Verification

Publish source code on Etherscan to build trust, enable audits, and improve UX.

๐Ÿง  Test Your Knowledge

Answer all questions to complete the module and test your understanding

1. What does the Solidity compiler (solc) output when you compile a contract?
2. What happens when you deploy a smart contract?
3. Which operation is FREE and requires no gas?
4. Why should you verify your contract on Etherscan?
5. What network should you use for testing contract deployment?

๐Ÿš€ What's Next?

๐Ÿ—๏ธ
Build More Contracts

Try creating a voting system, token, or simple game. Practice makes perfect!

๐Ÿงช
Learn Testing

Write unit tests with Hardhat or Foundry. Test every function thoroughly!

๐ŸŽจ
Build a Frontend

Create a React dApp with Web3.js or Ethers.js. Connect users to your contract!

๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ
Study Security

Learn about reentrancy, overflow, and other vulnerabilities. Security is critical!
