Ultimate Solidity, Blockchain, and Smart Contract - Beginner to Expert Full Course | Python Edition

MIT LicenseMIT

Big Update: New Sepolia Faucet Located Here. \Kovan, Ropsten, and Rinkeby have been deprecated. Goerli Still works but we highly recommend Sepolia as its proof of stake based.

You'll need to verify via Twitter to get ETH & LINK. You can find Backup Faucets here.

Additionally, lesson 7 uses Chainlink VRF v1 instead of v2, you can find the docs for Chainlink VRFv1 here.

        • Only works for local ganache
      2. accounts.load("..."): Brownie's encrypted command line (MOST SECURE)
        • Run brownie accounts new <name> and enter your private key and a password
      3. accounts.add(config["wallets"]["from_key"]): Storing Private Keys as an environment variable, and pulling from our brownie-config.yaml
        • You'll need to add dotenv: .env to your brownie-config.yaml and have a .env file
