Smart Contract in Depth: A Practical guide to Ethereum, DeFi and Blockchain Development

By Everett Collins

Have you ever wondered how billions of dollars are flowing through Ethereum and DeFi protocols-all governed by code? Have you asked yourself what it takes to create those smart contracts that power decentralized apps, NFT marketplaces, and governance platforms? Do you feel left out every time someone mentions "gas fees," "ERC standards," or "Web3 wallets"?

If so, you're not alone-and you're in the right place.

Smart Contracts in Depth: A Practical Guide to Ethereum, DeFi and Blockchain Development is more than just another blockchain book. It's your complete guide to not just understanding Ethereum smart contracts-but building, testing, deploying, and securing them. Whether you're a curious beginner, a junior developer, or a Web2 programmer looking to leap into the decentralized future, this book is the hands-on, real-world map you've been waiting for.

But let me ask you...

Do you really understand what makes Ethereum different from Bitcoin-or why smart contracts revolutionized the way applications work?

Can you explain the difference between require(), assert(), and revert() in Solidity-or when to use each?

Do you know how to protect your contracts from front-running attacks or reentrancy bugs?

Are you confident deploying contracts across testnets, mainnets, and interacting securely via Web3.js or Ethers.js?

Have you thought about what happens after deployment-how to upgrade, monitor, or even govern your contracts through DAOs?

If these questions stir your curiosity (or anxiety), that's a good thing. This book is here to answer them through an engaging, practical, and deeply insightful journey into the world of Ethereum smart contract development.

Written by Everett Collins, a seasoned researcher and engineer with years of experience building and auditing smart contracts, this book bridges the gap between theory and practice. Everett breaks down complex concepts into digestible parts and challenges you to think critically as you build. He doesn't just teach you how-he constantly asks why, encouraging a deeper understanding and long-term mastery.

Inside, you'll explore:

Solidity fundamentals and advanced design patterns

DeFi architecture, liquidity, lending, and flash loans

NFT creation, ERC standards, and metadata on IPFS

Governance tools, DAO deployment, and on-chain voting

Security practices and real-world vulnerabilities

Testing, debugging, automation, and CI/CD pipelines

Legal and ethical insights for responsible development

And that's just the beginning.

So, are you ready to stop watching from the sidelines and start building the future of finance, identity, gaming, and governance?

Are you ready to truly understand what's under the hood of every smart contract, dApp, and tokenized protocol that's reshaping our world?

Then don't wait.
