"I'm scared to deploy. What if I get hacked?"
Good. That fear means you're thinking like a builder.
Here's what I do:
1. Deploy to Sepolia testnet FIRST (free, safe to break)
2. Verify contract on Basescan (let others audit your code)
3. Start small (simple contracts, low stakes)
4. Learn as you go
Every pro builder was scared of their first deploy.
The difference?
They deployed anyway.
Fear is healthy.
Paralysis isn't.
Test on Sepolia.
Learn security basics.
Then ship to mainnet.
Cautious beats reckless.
Action beats frozen.
