The Complete Guide to Full Stack Ethereum Development
This guide by Nader Dabit is especially useful for Web2 devs and provides a basic understanding of building a full stack dApp from end-to-end using technologies including Hardhat, Solidity, Ethers.js, The Graph, and React.
-
How to write your first decentralized app - scaffold-eth Challenge 1: Staking dApp
This guide by Emanuele Ricci will cover in depth the first speed run challenge from scaffold-eth. Inside you will find web3/solidity concepts, explanations and detailed code review.
-
How to create an ERC20 Token and a Solidity Vendor Contract to sell/buy your own token
This guide by Emanuele Ricci will cover in depth the second speed run challenge from scaffold-eth. Inside you will find web3/solidity concepts, explanations and detailed code review.

How to deploy your first smart contract on Ethereum with Solidity and Hardhat
This guide by Emanuele Ricci will cover how to configure Hardhat to compile, deploy test and debug a Solidity project. You will learn to create a smart contract, test it with Waffle, deploy it on Rinkeby and get it verified by Etherscan.
-
How to deploy your first NFT contract on Ethereum
This guide could tell you how to write and deploy NFT contract, also it could help you to run front-end about minting your deployed contract. Could choose Truffle or Hardhat. And this tutorial could teach you how to mint NFT by script.

Layer 2 rollups provide a path to scaling Ethereum in a way that preserves the security guarantees of mainnet while increasing the transaction throughput and affordability of using Ethereum. Two main types of solutions exist, Optimistic Rollups and Zero-Knowledge Rollups. Below are some resources for learning more and getting started.
