ℹ️ Important: This repo is no longer actively maintained as there have been changes in Hardhat tooling. The video is out of sync with the code, and you can still follow along with the video, but you will likely need to troubleshoot the changes in the tooling and dependencies. Note also that best practices have evolved since this video was made.
If you'd like to continue your training with more up-to-date material, you can take a look at Cyfrin Updraft. That content is developed with love by Patrick & Cyfrin <3. However note that Cyfrin Updraft training uses Foundry, not Hardhat, so there will be tooling changes involved.
Web3, Full Stack Solidity, Smart Contract & Blockchain - Beginner to Expert ULTIMATE Course | Javascript Edition
Welcome to the repository for the Ultimate Web3, Full Stack Solidity, and Smart Contract - Beginner to Expert Full Course | Javascript Edition FreeCodeCamp Course!
Link to video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gyMwXuJrbJQ
All code references have both a javascript and a typescript edition.
Recommended Testnet: Sepolia
We have updated the repos to work with Sepolia due to Rinkeby and Kovan being sunset, and Goerli being a disaster. Let us know if any of the changes break stuff!

⌨️ (00:00:00) Lesson 0: Welcome To Blockchain
- Follow the repository: While going through the course be 100% certain to follow along with the github repository. If you run into in an issue check the chronological-updates in the repo.
- Be Active in the community: Ask questions and engage with other developers going through the course in the discussions tab, be sure to go and say hello or gm! This space is different from the other industries, you don't have to be secretive; communicate, network and learn with others :)
- Learn at your own pace: It doesn't matter if it takes you a day, a week, a month or even a year. Progress >>> Perfection
- Take Breaks: You will exhaust your mind and recall less if you go all out and watch the entire course in one sitting. Suggested Strategy every 25 minutes take a 5 min break, and every 2 hours take a longer 30 min break
- Refer to Documentation: Things are constantly being updated, so whenever Patrick opens up some documentation, open it your end and maybe even have the code sample next to you.

- Ask a question on a Forum like Stack Exchange Ethereum or Stack Overflow
- Format your questions!!
- Use Markdown
- WSL
- When working in WSL, use Linux commands instead of Windows commands
- TroubleShooting
curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.1/install.sh | bash
⚠️ Please use Gitpod as an absolute last resort
- Gitpod
- If using this, NEVER share a private key with real money on Gitpod
- Ideally you figure out the MacOS, Linux, or Windows install though

Moralis has recently updated to a self-hosted server over their own server. For this, you can do one of the following:
- Learn how to run one yourself
- Follow along to learn the concepts of this more interactive app, without actually coding along
- Skip to the section where we interact with the graph
TL;DR: TheGraph code should work exactly the same as the video, however the Moralis code will not.

Thanks to everyone who is taking, participating in, and working on this course. It's been a passion project and a data dump of everything I've learnt in the web3 space to get you up to speed quickly. Also, a big thank you to Chainlink Labs for encouraging this course to come to light-and to the many Chainlink Labs team members who helped with various assets!
