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

MIT LicenseMIT

Big Update: New Goerli Faucet Located Here. Kovan, Ropsten, and Rinkeby have been deprecated.

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
