Smart Contract Implementation

Beyond the Basics
- Smart contracts are immutable programs that can be used by the Ethereum blockchain. They cannot be changed once they are deployed therefore it is a sound commitment by both parties.
- Solidity: Language that smart contracts will be written in
- Solc: Solidity compiler, used to compile smart contracts to return the ABI and Bytecode of a smart contract
- ABI: Application Binary Interface
- An array of function definitions to be used by our application
- Bytecode:
- Bytecode that is read by the Ethereum Virtual Machine, this project does not go further in depth of the EVM
- Ethersjs
- Javascript library that’s developed to use smart contracts. It’s easy for beginners, and allows for simple contracts to be created and deployed
- Python compiler server
- Meteor is unable to utilize Solc internally, so all smart contracts will be compiled by a python script on a server external to the app
- Ethereum network
- Using the Ganache application by HardHat as a test network
- Simulated the Ethereum blockchain
- Keep track of transactions easily
- Has a GUI for ease of use
- May possibly create an assortment of dummy accounts with metamask and utilize Ethereum test networks that are available.
