Flash Loans are loans that allow the borrowing of an asset, as long as the borrowed amount (and a fee) is returned before the end of the transaction. Those types of loans enable you to perform actions without using your funds for a really small percentage fee (0.09% at the time of writing on Aave […]
For this tutorial will see how to execute a trade using 1inch DEX aggregator in Javascript with the web3.js library. At the end of the tutorial, you’ll know how to exchange ERC20 tokens and Ether directly on the Ethereum blockchain. This article is part 2 (part 1 here) of tutorials we started while using the […]
In the previous tutorial we learnt how to send a transaction to an Ethereum smart contract, we’ll now see how to wait for a transaction to be mined and get it’s result. When you sbumit a transaction to the blockchain, you’ll receive the transaction hash of the new transaction. In order to wait for the […]
This tutorial covers how to compile and deploy your smart contracts using JavaScript and Solidity comand line compiler solc. All our classes are made for beginners and advanced programmers to understand and build on the Ethereum blockchain. We really advise people to understand simple tools like solc compiler instead of jumping directly with complicated frameworks […]
In this tutorial we’ll see how to call a smart contract function from JavaScript. First is reading the state of a smart contract (for eg the balance of an ERC20 holder), then we’ll modify the state of the blockchain by making a token transfer. You should be already be familiar with setting up JS environement […]
Most of numeric values in Solidity smart contracts are expressed using uint256, unfortunately Javascript numbers are always 64-bit floating point. Therefore when you call a function that returns an uint256 you’ll receive a string instead of a Javascript number. Moreover Solidity does not handle floating number so Eth and token amounts are expressed as unsigned […]
In this series of tutorials, we explore how to build solutions around trading and making simple arbitrage bot using Ethereum decentralized exchanges (DEX). This series uses Javascript, Solidity, and the 1inch dex aggregator and flash loans. As the subject is wide, we have split the series into several parts below: Get the exchange rates to […]
A common use case of JavaScript programming with Ethereum is to listen to new blocks mined on the blockchain and looking at the content of the blocks for getting specific informations. This task is often used for example if you’d like to store all the blockhain data in a database or if you’d like to […]
In this tutorial, we’ll see how to get started with Web3JS to interact with the Ethereum blockchain. Web3js can be used both in frontends and backends to read data from the blockchain or make transactions and even deploy smart contracts. The first step is to include web3js in your project. To use it in a […]
