Welcome to “EatTheBlocks – Smart Contract Security 101.” In this course, you will embark on a journey to master the art of developing secure smart contracts. Get ready to dive deep into blockchain security and learn the best practices to safeguard your contracts and assets.
Exploring the Essential Features of “EatTheBlocks – Smart Contract Security 101“
The objective of this course is to understand how to develop a smart contract in the safest way possible. For this, we need to keep in mind not only what we want to create in the contract but also how to generate security-focused code. Since contracts often represent real money, it’s crucial to stay updated as developers on the most known vulnerabilities and understand how old hacks worked to avoid repeating those mistakes.
This course not only focuses on the most known vulnerabilities currently but also covers good practices, explanation of patterns, and common problems. For example, it addresses conflicts when using upgradeable contracts and how to obtain random numbers within a deterministic blockchain. This knowledge will not only help you develop smart contracts but also audit them, making it a core skillset for smart contract developers.
What You Will Learn: In this course, you will learn:
- Understanding security in a Blockchain Application.
- How attacks on Smart Contracts work.
- Known attacks and how to fix them (Reentrancy, Overflow, Replay Attack, DoS, weak randomness, and more).
- Best practices and security patterns.
- Understanding three famous hacks in detail.
- How to test your contract.
- How to measure the coverage of your tests.
Tools and Technologies Used: We will use the following tools and technologies throughout the course:
- Hardhat
- Solidity
- OpenZeppelin
- JavaScript
- Ethers.js
- Chainlink library
- Chai.js
- Coverage
Prerequisites: Before enrolling in this course, it’s recommended that you have knowledge in the following areas:
- Web Development (JavaScript, Node.js)
- Blockchain Development (Ethereum, Solidity, Hardhat)
By the end of this course, you’ll have a comprehensive understanding of smart contract security and be well-equipped to develop and audit secure smart contracts for blockchain applications.
