The first chapter will simply be What are Smart Contracts? and will cover basic information about them & the benefits over traditional contracts.
2nd chapter provides an overview of Blockchain Technology & how distributed systems work & why smart contracts are superior to centralized code bases.
Chapter 3 outlines types of smart contracts and overall concepts for understanding how they operate along with token accounts. Need to also provide a brief history of the standards used on Ethereum.
Chapter 4 dives into the different blockchains in 2024 and the benefits each ecosystem has for certain types of smart contracts & why it's important to be omnichain. Also discusses the nuanced approach used by various chains on tokens.
Chapter 5 could go into fungible and non fungible tokens and their corresponding smart contracts along with information about token gating communities and the benefits that brings.
Chapter 6 dives into liquidity pools and exotic pairings used with fungible tokens.
Chapter 7 would cover wrapping tokens or other assets along with cross chaining tokens.

Chapter 10 will dive into vesting tokens and other compensation contract structures like splitters & buy/sell bots, etc.
Chapter 11 could be mev bots (arbitrage), sniper bots, and sandwich bots plus other automation solutions.
Chapter 12 would pull back the hood of decentralized exchanges & the bonding curves and other concepts that make those smart contracts possible especially with Uniswap V3 NFT model for liquidity pools.
Chapter 13 would cover contract standards & ERC and EIP procedures for approval by the foundation.
Chapter 14 needs to cover wallet drainers along with malicious functions to look out for in smart contracts.
Chapter 15 would cover where things are heading and some of the token bound accounts & other things on the horizon.
Chapter 16 would discuss the intersection of AI and blockchain and the experimentation & potential of that as it relates to smart contracts.
