FAQs

What is OpenZeppelin used for? ›

OpenZeppelin is a popular open-source framework for writing secure and scalable smart contracts in the Solidity programming language. It provides a library of reusable and secure contract components that developers can use to build their own decentralized applications (dApps) on the Ethereum blockchain.

Hardhat is a popular development environment for building decentralized applications (dapps) on the Ethereum blockchain. It is employed to make it easier for developers to construct, test, and deploy smart contracts and to link their dapps with the larger Web3 ecosystem.

On average, the cost to create ERC20 token lies between $5000 to $10,000, depending on the type of token developed and business requirements.

Sending ERC20 tokens is very easy with MetaMask. You just need to paste the ERC20 address, ensure that you have enough ETH to cover the transaction fee, and click the “Send” button.

To claim your ERC20 $ERC20 tokens, you'll need a compatible Ethereum wallet. Ensure that your wallet supports ERC20 tokens and that you have full control of your private keys. Popular options include MetaMask, MyEtherWallet, and Trust Wallet. If you don't have a suitable wallet, set one up before proceeding.

If you would like to contribute code or documentation you may do so by forking the repository and submitting a pull request. Any non-trivial code contribution must be first discussed with the maintainers in an issue (see Opening an issue). Only very minor changes are accepted without prior discussion.

What is an ERC20 permit? ›

Understanding EIP-2612

EIP-2612 introduces a feature called “permit” for ERC-20 tokens. This lets users approve token transactions without making a separate blockchain transaction each time. It uses off-chain signatures, meaning you can give permission away from the blockchain while still keeping it secure.

ERC-721 is an open standard that describes how to build Non-Fungible tokens on EVM (Ethereum Virtual Machine) compatible blockchains; it is a standard interface for Non-Fungible tokens; it has a set of rules which make it easy to work with NFTs.

Smart contracts deployed using OpenZeppelin Upgrades Plugins can be upgraded to modify their code, while preserving their address, state, and balance. This allows you to iteratively add new features to your project, or fix any bugs you may find in production.

ERC-721 tokens are the standards for non-fungible tokens (NFTs). These tokens cannot be exchanged for anything of equal value since they are unique in themselves, representing a unique asset. Each NFT token is linked to different owners and has its own tokenID or metadata that makes them unique.

Ethernaut is a Web3/Solidity based wargame meant to be played in the EVM. The game was inspired by overthewire. Each level is a smart contract that the user must hack, and the game allows users to both learn about ethereum and see their skills compare to historical hacks.
