Web3 Development Fundamentals

Learn to build decentralized applications using blockchain, smart contracts, and decentralized storage solutions.

What You'll Learn

This tutorial will guide you through the core concepts of Web3 development including blockchain integration, smart contract deployment, and decentralized application (DApp) development. Suitable for developers with JavaScript/TypeScript background.

Prerequisites

  • JavaScript/TypeScript Fundamentals
  • Node.js Project Setup
  • Basic Blockchain Concepts

Tools Required

  • Truffle or Hardhat
  • 1
    TestRPC / Ganache
  • Metamask

Getting Started

1. Setup Project

npm init -y
npm install --save-dev hardhat
npx hardhat

2. Write Contract

pragma solidity ^0.8.0;

contract SimpleStorage {
    uint storedData;

    function set(uint x) public {
        storedData = x;
    }

    function get() public view returns (uint) {
        return storedData;
    }
}

Smart Contract Coding Samples

Secure Wallet Manager

pragma solidity ^0.8.0;

contract SecureMultiSig {
    address[] private signers;
    
    // Implementation of secure multi-signature wallet
}

Requires multiple approvals for withdrawals

Token Standard

// ERC-20 Implementation
contract MyToken is Context, IERC20 {
    uint256 private _totalSupply = 1000000;

Full token implementation with minting and transfer controls

Deployment

1

Compile Contracts

npx hardhat compile
2

Deploy

npx hardhat run scripts/deploy.js --network localhost
3

Test

npx hardhat test

🔒 Security & Verification

Common Vulnerabilities

  • Reentrancy exploits
  • Ambiguous overflow
  • Possible delegate calls

Security Auditing Tips

  • Use Slither for static analysis
  • Run Mythril analysis
  • Code testing on multiple chains
Always verify contracts on the intended network before deployment.
