Understanding and Using the Etherscan API to Query Blockchain Data
https://api.etherscan.io/api?module=account&action=txlist&address=0xYourEthereumAddress&startblock=0&endblock=99999999&sort=asc&apikey=YOUR_API_KEY https://api.etherscan.io/api?module=account&action=tokentx&address=0xYourEthereumAddress&startblock=0&endblock=99999999&sort=asc&apikey=YOUR_API_KEYGetting Wallet Balance Using Ethers.js in Node.js
Wallet Address: 0xYourEthereumAddress
Wallet Balance: 2.345 ETH- Ethers.js: We are using Ethers.js to interact with the Ethereum blockchain. Ethers.js simplifies the process of querying the blockchain and formatting the data for developers.
- Provider: Whether you use Infura or a public node, the provider allows us to connect to the Ethereum network. Infura is commonly used because of its reliability and scalability, but public nodes can work as well if you're looking for a simple alternative.
- getBalance(): This function queries the Ethereum network for the balance of the wallet in wei (the smallest unit of ETH). We then use
ethers.utils.formatEther()to convert the balance from wei to Ether.
Understanding 0x000000000000000000000000000000000000dead Address and Token Burns in Ethereum
Burning tokens refers to the process of sending cryptocurrency tokens to an address from which they cannot be retrieved. Tokens sent to this address are effectively removed from circulation forever. The address ends with "dead," signaling its purpose of making tokens unreachable.
Token burns serve several key purposes in the cryptocurrency world:
Writing an ERC-20 Token Contract with OpenZeppelin
- You should see the deployment address of your token contract.
- If you want to deploy to a public testnet like Ropsten or Kovan, configure the network in your
hardhat.config.jsfile:
Understanding Gas and Optimization in Smart Contracts
Several tools can help you analyze and optimize gas consumption in your smart contracts:
- Remix IDE: Provides real-time gas estimates while writing and testing smart contracts.
- Solidity Coverage: A tool for generating gas reports and identifying expensive operations in your code.
- ETH Gas Station: An online service that provides insights into gas prices and recommended gas limits for transactions.
