In this chapter, you'll be taken on a journey across several interesting frameworks to design secure, scalable, and fast smart contracts that are gas-optimized so that people don't pay too much Ether per transaction. We are going to create a copyright marketplace smart contract that stores licenses that people create for their content that's identified by a unique ID, all on the blockchain. Then, you'll explore the EVM in depth in order to understand how it actually works in the backend when you deploy and interact with a smart contract. Next, we'll talk about upgradable and scalable smart contracts for the next generation. And, finally, we'll cover gas- and data-efficient smart contracts and security analysis with audits. In this chapter, we're going to cover the following topics:
- Getting up to speed
- The EVM in depth...
