Hi Guys,
I’m Faith; a Web3 Virtual Assistant, Social Media Manager, Community Moderator and 2025 SHEFI Scholar, and this is Day 1 of putting myself out there.
I support Web3 projects with operations, content, and community growth.
I’m also a researcher by habit; I enjoy reading Web3 material, writing & breaking it d...

It’s the Last day of our 18 days of reading Mastering Ethereum.
To close it out, this chapter talks about zero-knowledge proofs.
In simple terms, zero-knowledge proofs let you prove something is true without showing the details.
Instead of everyone checking every single step of a transaction, one party does the work ...

Ethereum struggles to be decentralized, secure, and fast all at once. Currently, its popularity causes high gas fees and network congestion because every node must process every transaction.

Day 16— Mastering Ethereum (Consensus)
Ethereum handles high costs and slow speed caused by too many users competing to use the network. Because every transaction is processed by all nodes, Ethereum can become expensive and congested.
To solve this, Layer 2 solutions are introduced. These are systems built on top

Day 15— Mastering Ethereum (The Ethereum Virtual Machine)
Think of the Ethereum Virtual Machine as a machine that must give the same answer everywhere on Earth.
If it ever guessed or checked the internet by itself, different computers would see different results, and Ethereum would break.
So the EVM stays blind an

Day 14 — Mastering Ethereum
Here are some of the most shocking facts about Decentralized Finance (DeFi)
-Through a unique DeFi feature called "flash loans," users can borrow funds without providing any collateral at all, provided the entire loan is taken and repaid within a single blockchain transaction.
-Two tokens

Day 13— Mastering Ethereum (Decentralized Applications)
I’m sure a lot of you have wondered what Decentralized Applications, or DApps are.
They represent a major shift from traditional apps because they replace centralized servers and databases with open-source smart contracts running on the Ethereum blockchain.

Day 12 — Mastering Ethereum (Oracles)
Smart contracts on Ethereum cannot access real-world information or generate true randomness on their own because all computers in the network must reach the same result.
To solve this, oracles are used. Oracles act as bridges that bring outside information such as prices, weath

Day 11 — Mastering Ethereum (Tokens)
Did you know?
Tokens didn’t originally mean valuable assets, the word comes from Old English tācen, meaning a sign or symbol, like arcade or bus tokens
Did you know?
Blockchain tokens can represent many things at once; currency, access, voting rights, identity, or ownership all

Day 10 — Mastering Ethereum (Smart Contract Security)
Smart contracts are powerful, but that power comes with risk.
Once deployed, a contract can’t be easily changed which means mistakes can’t be undone.
Most security issues don’t come from hackers being clever, but from simple logic errors, bad assumptions, or over

Day 9 — Mastering Ethereum (Smart Contracts & Vyper)
Vyper is a programming language used to write Ethereum smart contracts, but it’s designed to be simpler and safer than Solidity.
It removes complex features on purpose so contracts are easier to read, audit, and reason about. The trade-off is less flexibility, but

Day 8 — Mastering Ethereum (Smart Contracts & Solidity)
Smart contracts are programs that live on Ethereum and run exactly as written.
No approvals, no intermediaries, no “we’ll get back to you.”
Once deployed, a smart contract becomes immutable; it can’t be changed, paused, or reversed unless that logic was written

Day 7 — Mastering Ethereum (Transactions)
An Ethereum transaction is more than just sending ETH from one address to another.
It’s a signed instruction that tells the network to do something; transfer value, deploy a contract, or interact with an app.
Every transaction must be signed with a private key, paid for with
