Building ethereum dapps decentralized applications on the ethereum blockchain


As IBM´s official liaison to the Ethereum core developers I gave talks on blockchain topics pretty much around the world. After one keynote I was asked for a non-technical guide to understand blockchains. This is it.

The book aims to help you get your head around blockchains in general and around Ethereum specifically. Since Ethereum is currently the pre-imminent blockchain, it makes sense as reference point. The essential stuff is the same for any blockchain.

This text was written for people with a fast grasp, who are not programmers. Reading this should give you the basics to cut through the hype and to identify blockchain opportunities in your professional domain. There are tiny bits of code, which can be admired and skipped.

We´ll look at Ethereum´s benefits first, how it is used and what can be done with it; then explain blockchain machinery, visiting the terms that you´ll be confronted with in every discussion about its application. Exactly what you need to tell the signal from the noise in the echo chamber of honest misunderstandings and desperate marketing.

We take a good hard look at limitations, throw in some history and names and give a realistic outlook.

The index reads like an FAQ and you can use the book like that. However, there is a strong build up, one chapter leading to the next, as optimized path to understanding all the interconnected, moving parts. There´s quite a number of them.

Blockchains are not a trivial topic. The fact that blockchain client programs are small has fooled many people into believing it can´t possibly be that hard. The challenges are in the implications though.

But what’s in this book will put you ahead of almost everyone outside the core bubble.

A deep dive into this field now – at least getting started – will help you to become part of the fun ahead. It should allow you to stand out, land deals or a great job.

It will also make you see first hand how early we are in the game.

Hopefully, we will find a contributor to the blockchain community in you, strengthening the portfolio of real-world use cases. Ideally, you´ll learn to navigate your own uncharted course through your domain and revolutionize it.

The book aims to help you get your head around blockchains in general and around Ethereum specifically as it's the preeminent blockchain.

Ethereum: Blockchains, Digital Assets, Smart Contracts, Decentralized Autonomous Organizations


Technology is constantly evolving, and blockchain is taking development to new places, as mobile did a decade ago – and Ethereum is the leading platform for creating this new wave of applications. This book reveals everything you need to create a robust decentralized application (more commonly known as DApp). Unlike other books on the topic, this one focuses on the web application layer, and guides you in creating great experiences on top of the Ethereum blockchain. You’ll review the challenges and differences involved in developing DApps as opposed to traditional web applications. 

After a brief introduction to blockchain history and Ethereum in particular, you’ll jump directly into building a sample decentralized application, to familiarize yourself with all the moving pieces. This book offers specific chapters on querying and rendering data from the blockchain, reacting to events, interacting with user accounts, sending transactions, managing gas, handling confirmations and reorganizations, and more. You will also find a chapter dedicated to Solidity that will give you the necessary means to understand and even build your own smart contracts. 
Other important topics covered include building backend servers that act as indexing layers, and managing storage efficiently with solutions like the interplanetary file system, or IPFS. Last but not least, you will find chapters that examine the biggest problems on Ethereum today: onboarding and scalability. These include the state of the art of the available strategies to tackle them, such as meta-transactions, smart accounts, ENS, state channels, sidechains, and more.

The EVM is a central part of Ethereum. It is Ethereum’s execution engine, responsible for executing Ethereum programs, also called Smart Contracts.

In this tutorial we are going to build the EVM from scratch. However, this is not a reference implementation. I will omit implementation details if I believe they are not necessary for understanding how the EVM works. This is about learning the core concepts of the EVM from first principles.

That is why I want to call it a mini-EVM. A working but simplified version of the real thing. A virtual machine that takes in an Ethereum program as input and executes that.


In this tutorial you are going to build the EVM from scratch.

Smart Contracts? They're here.  The Ethereum Blockchain?  Covered.  Solidity?  Yep!

There can be no understating it: Ethereum and Blockchain technology is the most disruptive force in years.  Companies cannot hire developers who understand blockchain technologies fast enough, but there are a tiny number of resources published to help you truly understand what blockchains are used for, let alone build apps with them.  That's the purpose of this course: to be the best resource online for learning about Ethereum, blockchains, and how to build apps with this new technology.

The development community is still figuring out the best way to use Ethereum in the creation of new and exciting apps.  I spent a tremendous amount of time to research and create best practice for interfacing with Ethereum from Javascript.  I can't overstate it enough; this course will show you the best and most easily repeatable patterns for creating production-ready apps with Ethereum.

Ethereum Smart Contract Auditor Roadmap


## What is a smart contract?

Smart contracts are the backbone of decentralized applications (DApps) and Web3. A smart contract is a simple program that lives on a blockchain network (such as Ethereum). They're actually not that smart. And nothing like a (legal) contract. They’re more like an executable piece of code that requires input or an trigger from an external source. They can validate those input conditions and if correct, execute their own logic to update the state on a blockchain.

## Benefits

They often serve the following purposes:
- Store and maintain data
- Manage relationships with users, or other contracts

Benefits of smart contracts are
- Immutable - once deployed none can change them
- Composable - they’re public and anyone can interact with them, or build on top of them. Much like public APIs

## Resources

The following resources have been the most popular resources on the site for a long time. These are all highly recommend to start learning about Solidity


### 1. Official Solidity website
The most obvious resources is ofcourse the official website and documentation of the Solidity team itself. The Solidity team covers all the core concepts and fundamentals of Solidity and smart contracts in general. Highly recommended

https://soliditylang.org/


### 2. Solidity by Example
The second one on the list is Solidity by Example. A great collection of more practical examples, incl. source code and supporting videos.

https://solidity-by-example.org/


### 3. CryptoZombies 
CryptoZombies is an interactive school that teaches you all things technical about blockchains. A fun and interactive way to write smart contracts in Solidity by making your own crypto-collectibles game.

https://cryptozombies.io/


### 4. Speedrun Ethereum

Speedrun Ethereum helps you get to the next level. It teaches you how to build on Ethereum; the superpowers and the gotchas while you build up your Web3 portfolio. If you like this, also make sure to check out the other work of the amazing [Austin Griffith](https://twitter.com/austingriffith) such as [ETH-build](https://eth.build/) and [Scaffold-eth](https://scaffoldeth.io/).

https://speedrunethereum.com/


### 5. Smart Contract Best Practices 

Smart contracts are complex instruments that have the authority to allocate high-value resources between complex systems. Often working autonomously. With huge financial loss at risk. This makes them critical components in these systems. Development of such components requires thoughtful design, solid engineering practices, rigorous testing and a strong security mindset. This document provides a baseline knowledge of security considerations.

https://consensys.github.io/smart-contract-best-practices/


## Other resources

If you'd like to read more, make sure to checkout all the other [Solidity](/tags/smart%20contracts) resources on the site.

Solidity is a programming language designed for developing smart contracts that run on Ethereum. It's the most in demand skill in the Web3 space. These are the best resources to help you learn more about it.

Best resources to learn Solidity


Blockchain and smart contract development are still relatively new and highly experimental. They require a different engineering mindset than traditional web, or app development where ‘move fast and break things’ has become the norm. 

Blockchain development is much more like hardware, or financial service development. Smart contracts are complex instruments that offer the possibility to have self-enforcing contracts including transparent, tamper-proof, and immutable information. They have the authority to allocate high-value resources between complex systems. Often working autonomously. With huge financial loss at risk. This makes smart contracts critical components in these systems. Development of such components requires more investment, design, and effort upfront. Solid engineering practices, rigorous testing, and a strong security mindset. 

In a series of blog posts, I’m planning to go through several patterns, practices, and principles that can be applied to blockchain and smart contract development to reduce the risks associated with it. 


# Clean Code 

![WTFs/minute](../assets/images/wtfs-minute.jpeg)

In this first article, I’ll cover more general engineering practices based on the concepts of Clean Code. Clean code is a well-known concept within the software development industry. [Robert C Martin, also known as 'Uncle Bob' wrote the famous handbook](https://amzn.to/30RsoKk). Its principles go back to even the earlier concepts of the Agile manifesto and software craftsmanship. It’s a knowledge base for the way we think, write, and read code. Build on decades of wisdom in software development. 

> *“Truth can only be found in one place: the code“* - Robert C. Martin 

Clean code is code that is easy to read. Easy to understand. And easy to maintain. Clean code is an attempt to make sense of the complexity of systems that we’re dealing with. It’s a defense mechanism that can provide guidance when you’re not sure how a change would affect the codebase. While there’s valid criticism on the handbook and the examples are considered outdated, the principles are still very relevant. Especially for object-oriented languages, such as Solidity. They apply to designing and writing secure, open, and immutable code, such as smart contracts.  

# Practices

## Naming
The naming of contracts, functions, or variables should reveal the intention, why it exists, and how it is used. If a name requires comments to explain, then it doesn’t reveal its intent. 

Be consistent in your naming throughout your code. Especially when you’re working with a large codebase. Use the same names for abstract concepts, throughout multiple contracts. 

Use pronounceable names. 

Use searchable names.

> *"There are only two hard things in Computer Science: cache invalidation and naming things."* - Phil Karlton

**References**
- [Code example](https://github.com/wslyvh/clean-contracts/tree/master/1-naming)
- [Solidity Style guide](https://solidity.readthedocs.io/en/latest/style-guide.html)


## Structure & Ordering 

Ordering helps readers identify which functions they can call and to find the constructor and fallback definitions easier.

### Order of Layout 

Layout contract elements in the following order:

1. Pragma statements
1. Import statements
1. Interfaces
1. Libraries
1. Contracts

Inside each contract, library or interface, use the following order:

1. Type declarations
1. State variables
1. Events
1. Functions

### Ordering of Functions 

Functions should be grouped according to their visibility and ordered:

1. constructor
1. receive function (if exists)
1. fallback function (if exists)
1. external
1. public
1. internal
1. private

Explicitly label the visibility of functions and state variables. Functions can be specified as being `external`, `public`, `internal`, or `private`. Please understand the differences between them.

### Ordering of Modifiers

The modifier order for a function should be:

1. Visibility
1. Mutability
1. Virtual
1. Override
1. Custom modifiers

- [Solidity Style guide](https://solidity.readthedocs.io/en/latest/style-guide.html)


## Documentation & Natspec 

Solidity contracts can have a form of comments that provide rich documentation to others reading the code as well as end-users. This is called the Ethereum Natural Language Specification Format, or [NatSpec](https://solidity.readthedocs.io/en/latest/natspec-format.html).

This documentation is segmented into developer-focused messages and end-user-facing messages. These messages may be shown to the end-user (the human) at the time that they will interact with the contract (i.e. sign a transaction).

It is recommended that Solidity contracts are fully annotated using NatSpec for all public interfaces (everything in the ABI).

**References**
- [Code example](https://github.com/wslyvh/clean-contracts/tree/master/3-documentation)
- [NatSpec](https://solidity.readthedocs.io/en/latest/natspec-format.html)


## Formatting 

Reading code should be like reading this blog, an article, or a book. It should be well formatted. The Solidity style guide provides guidance for writing Solidity code. The goal for it is not to be the right or only way, but to be consistent. 

Consistency can be enforced by using a linter. This not only provides formatting and style guide validation but also includes security validation.

Linters for Solidity
- [Ethlint](https://github.com/duaraghav8/Ethlint) (formerly Solium)
- [Solhint](https://github.com/protofire/solhint) 
- [VS Code Solidity](https://github.com/juanfranblanco/vscode-solidity/)

Use a regular linter for your dapp development (e.g. eslint, depending on your language).

- [Code example](https://github.com/wslyvh/clean-contracts/tree/master/4-formatting)
- [Solidity Style guide](https://solidity.readthedocs.io/en/latest/style-guide.html)


## Contracts & Data structures 

- Contracts expose behavior and hide data (in abstraction. Not actually hiding data from others. No data on the blockchain is actually hidden, see chapter Contracts). This makes it easy to add new kinds of objects without changing existing behaviors. It also makes it hard to add new behaviors to existing objects.

- Data structures expose data and have no significant behavior. This makes it easy to add new behaviors to existing data structures but makes it hard to add new data structures to existing functions.

Clear separation of the two is important, due to the contract’s immutability. If you want to add logic or deploy new contracts, you want to be able to utilize the existing data structures. Separating the two can be done by storage contracts. We’ll cover these in more detail in another blog post. 


## Systems 

Keep it Simple Stupid ('KISS'). Complexity increases the likelihood of errors and unexpected behavior. Contracts should have one responsibility, and only one reason to change, supporting the Single Responsibility Principle. It's one of the most important concepts in OO design.

Keep your contracts small. Every line of code in a smart contract costs money to execute and storing data is expensive. A best practice is to store a pointer to data in a smart contract, rather than storing the data itself. For example, data can be stored using decentralized data storage providers such as IPFS.

Modularize your contracts to keep them small and utilize existing standards & libraries (see 'Standards & Libraries'). 

The same applies to functions. Functions should do one thing. They should do it well. They should do it only.

On blockchain everything is public. Private data and variables within a smart contract are not actually private. "Private" means within the execution scope of the contract, but the data is public and can be read by anyone. Keep this in mind when designing your programs.

Only use blockchain and smart contracts for the parts that need to be decentralized. 

> *"The first rule of functions is that they should be small. The second rule of functions is that they should be smaller than that."* - Robert C. Martin 


## Standards & Libraries 

An intrinsic feature of smart contracts is its composability. Turning every contract into a component and potential building block that others can leverage. A lot of these building blocks exist already and standards ensure the ease of use and development. The most well-known standard was created for the emerging token ecosystem and the exchanges serving it: the ERC20 standard.

Before you dive in and start writing your own, custom smart contracts, it’s wise to check if any standards or open-source components exist. If such standard contracts exist and are properly tested and audited, they can minimize the risk in your programs.

- Ethereum Improvement Proposals (EIPs) describe standards for the Ethereum platform, including contract standards. [Finalized ERC's](https://eips.ethereum.org/erc#final)
- [OpenZeppelin Contracts](https://openzeppelin.com/contracts/)


## Error handling 

Exceptions are a crucial part of modern software engineering. They require special treatment and can be extremely powerful. Instead of fighting them, we should try to leverage them, as an unhandled exception may cause unexpected behavior. 

When an exception is thrown in Solidity code, all state changes are rolled back and further execution is halted. Luckily, exception handling is built into Solidity (since 0.6). This is only available for external calls. 

Provide enough context with your exception to determine the source and cause of your error. 

Try to write tests that throw these exceptions.

Don’t return null. Don’t pass null to functions.

Guard Checks can help that the behavior of a smart contract and its input parameters are as expected.

Use `assert()`, `require()`, `revert()` properly. **assert** should be used to test for internal errors, and check invariants.
**require** should be used to test that inputs, contract state variables, or return values from external contracts are valid. 

If a transaction doesn’t have enough gas to execute, the out of gas error is not caught.


## Testing 

![Test my code](../assets/images/test-my-code.jpeg)

The same rules for clean code, apply to testing. Clean tests are tests that are easy to read. Easy to understand. And easy to maintain. Tests help you keep your code flexible, maintainable, and reusable. They validate the behaviors, reduce the risks of making unintended changes, and save time debugging and writing your code. 

### F.I.R.S.T

- **Fast** — Test should fast enough so that you want to run them frequently. It should help speed up your development process, not hinder it
- **Independent** — Tests should be independent of each other and able to run in any order
- **Repeatable** — Tests should be repeatable in any environment
- ** Self-validating** — Tests should a clear (boolean) output if it passes. 
- **Timely** — Tests need to be written in a timely fashion. Just before the production code. 

### AAA

The AAA (Arrange-Act-Assert) pattern is one of the most common standards in software testing. It suggests dividing your tests into the corresponding sections: arrange, act, and assert. Each one of them is responsible for the part in which they are named after.

- **Arrange** - The code required to set-up your test
- **Act** - Invocation of the method being tested
- **Assert** - Check whether the expectations are met

Use only one assert per test.

### Separation of tests 

- **Unit tests** determine whether an individual unit of source-code is fit for use. This is typically a single function, tested with different parameters to ensure it returns the expected values.
- **Integration tests** determine if independently developed units of software work correctly when they are connected. For smart contracts, this means interactions between different components of a single contract, or across multiple contracts.

### Test coverage 

Writing good tests to ensure your app is working as intended is not enough. If you're not measuring anything, it's hard to say exactly how much of your code is being tested. Test coverage (or code coverage) is a useful tool for finding untested parts of a codebase. 

There is much debate over how much should be covered. Just your best judgment, but aim for as high as possible. Untested code could do anything and result in unexpected behavior.

### Testing Tools 

- [Buidler](https://buidler.dev/) -  A task runner for Ethereum smart contract developers that allows you to deploy your contracts, run your tests and debug your code
- [OpenZeppelin Test environment](https://docs.openzeppelin.com/test-environment/) - Test Environment is a smart contract testing library: it provides utilities that help you write tests, but it doesn’t run your tests for you. Works with Mocha 
- [Brownie](https://github.com/eth-brownie/brownie) - A Python-based development and testing framework for smart contracts targeting the Ethereum Virtual Machine
- [Truffle](https://trufflesuite.com/truffle) - A development environment, testing framework and asset pipeline for blockchains using the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM)
- [Ganache](https://trufflesuite.com/ganache/) - A personal blockchain for Ethereum development you can use to deploy contracts, develop your applications, and run tests
- [Solidity-coverage](https://github.com/sc-forks/solidity-coverage) (formerly Solcover) - Code coverage for Solidity smart-contracts


## Security & code analysis 

Static code analysis is the analysis of software that is performed without actually executing the program. In most cases the analysis is performed on some version of the source code. Anlaysis is usually performed by an automated tool (e.g. Sonarqube).

Analysis tools for smart contracts help identify smart contract vulnerabilities. These tools run a suite of vulnerability detectors and print out a summary of any issues found. 

### Analysis Tools

- [Echidna](https://github.com/crytic/echidna) - Ethereum smart contract fuzzer
- [Manticore](https://github.com/trailofbits/manticore) - Symbolic execution tool
- [Mythril](https://github.com/ConsenSys/mythril) - Security analysis tool for EVM bytecode
- [Oyente](https://github.com/melonproject/oyente) - An Analysis Tool for Smart Contracts
- [Slither](https://github.com/crytic/slither) - Static Analyzer for Solidity

### Gas Optimization

Optimizing gas costs can be a worthwhile endeavor, to reduce costs both for your own deployments, as well as for your end-users. Network usage is progressively increasing, with current gas costs at its peak. As the ecosystem continues to grow, so too will the value of gas optimization. We’ll cover these in more detail in another blog post. 

Analyzing your code can be done by using [eth-gas-reporter](https://github.com/cgewecke/eth-gas-reporter). It prints estimates of gas costs per function, or of each deployed contract. 



## Continuous Integration 

While not part of the clean code principles, continuous integration (‘CI’) has become a fundamental practice for any type software development. One of the key benefits of integrating regularly is that you can detect errors quickly and locate them more easily. 

It is based on a set of key principles.

- Keep a single repository where all the code lives and where anyone can obtain the current and previous versions (e.g. Git)
- Automate the build process so that anyone can use it to build directly from the sources (e.g. Truffle teams, Travis CI)
- Automate your tests so that anyone can run a full test suite at any time (see chapter Testing)
- Make sure anyone can view the results and get the latest executable from the build process

> *"Continuous Integration doesn’t get rid of bugs, but it does make them dramatically easier to find and remove."* - Martin Fowler
