5/8 — ERC-20 Token Implementation — Lesson outline
RoadmapWe’ll move from intuition to code, then risk mitigation, then checks that prove you understand the moving parts. Keep this outline handy as a roadmap while you work.
Steps
- Concept warm-up — plain-language:Explanation and analogies so you can explain ERC-20 to a non-dev.
- Real-world examples — where:ERC-20s show up in wallets, DEXs, games, rewards, and treasuries.
- Risks and failure modes:— approval misuse, unchecked mint/burn, supply drift, and broken events.
- Good practice — use:OpenZeppelin, add access control, emit events, test happy and failure paths.
- Hands-on lab — ship:And test your own token on a testnet, including approval flows.
- Quick self-check — short:Prompts to confirm you can spot risks before deploying.
