## BuildBear Features: 

### Mainnet State 

Create a Testnet that is forked from a range of Ethereum-compatible chains, including Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum, Optimism, Fantom, and Binance, at any block number.

### Explorer
Experience seamless exploration and easy debugging of your transactions on your Testnet with BuildBear's built-in explorer and in-built transaction tracer.

### Faucet
Minting native and popular ERC20 Tokens like USDC, DAI, USDT, BNB, BUSD, MATIC, WBTC, UNI, and AAVE  has never been easier. With BuildBear's user-friendly faucet, you can mint tokens with just one click.

### Unlock Advanced Customization

Run your standard testing and other scripts against BuildBear Testnets RPC with

- Impersonate Account: Pretend to be another wallet that existed before your Testnet creation. This feature is particularly helpful for testing the effects of transactions in situations such as DAO voting, LP pool withdrawals, and more.

- Deploy Contracts Beyond 24KB: Work on larger contracts without worrying about the contract size limit.

- Mining Window: Set the mining interval between blocks to replicate a real blockchain environment.

- Snapshot: Take a snapshot of the blockchain environment's state and execute transactions in the respective snapshot.

The history of software development spans decades. We benefit from the best practices, design patterns, and nuggets of wisdom that has accumulated over half a century.

In contrast, smart contract development is just getting started. Ethereum and Solidity launched in 2015, only a handful of years ago.

The crypto space is an ever-growing uncharted territory. There’s no definitive stack of tools to build decentralized apps. There are no developer handbooks like Design Patterns or Clean Code for smart contracts. Information about tools and best practices are scattered all over the place.

You’re reading the missing guide I wish existed. It summarizes the lessons I’ve learned from writing smart contracts, building decentralized applications, and open source projects in the Ethereum ecosystem.

First setup using Nile which makes managing files and command line calls to StarkNet simple.
Second have a look at how pytest works
After you have set everything up, to run the examples:
- Open two terminals in the project folder and run source env/bin/activate
- In one run nile node to start a local devnet.
- In the other run the commands in the examples.

Examples of different elements in Cairo and StarkNet.
- Hello, World!
- First application
- Array
- Data types
- Variables
- Read and write values
- Read and write tuples
- Currency
- Constructor
- Custom imports
- Contract calls
- Array argument
- Array returns
- Struct returns


Cairo is a programming language that can be used to write blockchain applications. The language is novel in that it converts program logic into STARK proofs.

Nowadays there are countless well-made resources on how to learn blockchain development of all kinds and with different specializations in mind, however, it is still very hard to get guidance and personalized suggestions based on your interests. I am writing this guide in order to provide an aggregator of all the resources that I’ve found over the years, plus give some opinionated commentary on how to approach them and how to use them in order to maximize learning and practical understanding in order to get building cool things in the space as soon as possible.

This guide will focus on the Ethereum ecosystem as that’s where most developers and applications are. If you are interested in other ecosystems that are non-EVM compatible and are not L2s on Ethereum, then check out their respective documentation or guides written by their developer communities. Examples of other non-EVM compatible blockchains that are popular are Solana (Rust/Anchor), Polkadot (Rust/Substrate), Cosmos, Terra, and others. Most of these blockchains do or will support the EVM stack through various initiatives like Neon EVM (Solana), Moonbeam/Moonriver (Polkadot/Kusama), EVMOS (Cosmos), etc.

I really want this guide to become a community-sourced public good that everyone will be able to take advantage of. I will do my best to present it to the wider blockchain developer community to get constructive feedback, proofreading help, and insight into how to make it the best available guide available.

Every account you create, every service you sign up for, every online purchase is connected to your email address. Most people have 100+ accounts they've forgotten about, creating security risks and privacy exposure. Paperweight scans your inbox to map your digital footprint, then helps you take back control and delete your data.

## What it does

- **Account inventory** — Maps every company that has ever emailed you, with risk classifications and recommendations for action.

- **Bulk unsubscribe** — Find and unsubscribe from any marketing and mailing lists (auto RFC 8058 where supported).

- **Breach alerts** — Alerts when any company you’ve been in contact with has been breached (via HaveIBeenPwned).

- **GDPR requests** — Generates pre-filled GDPR requests in multiple languages.

Supports Gmail (OAuth), Outlook, IMAP, and Proton Mail via Bridge.

## Privacy Approach

Everything runs on your machine. Email content, credentials, and connection details never leave your device. No telemetry, no cloud sync, no analytics. The code is fully open source and auditable on GitHub.
