Introducing Explain ETH, a series of interactive essays to show the basics of blockchain

Everyone wants mass adoption.

Maybe the tech has caught up.

But the learning resources definitely haven't.

I want to change that.

This is an opinionated take on basic concepts in Ethereum. 

It's designed for less technical readers.

We start by explaining ETH in terms of a money network.

You get a simulated wallet and build intuition for confirmations, transactions, and transfers.

Then, we explain the basics of smart contracts through transfers and splits.

We walk you through some pseudocode, and this motivates the design space for other types of apps.

Lastly, we explain tokens through stablecoins and start opening up the ideas for moving beyond just simple payments.

i hope EF grants you a thousand eth for doing this valuable work 🔥

Tokens

Can I give feedback here? @xmon.eth 

for /tokens:

1) "You can receive all types of tokens with the same 0xc02aaa39b223fe8d0a0e5c4f27ead9083c756cc2 address. Similar to how you can keep multiple currencies in your wallet or bank account, an address on Ethereum can hold multiple types of tokens as well. All of our examples so far have used ETH. But on the Ethereum network, there are many, many different types of tokens."

maybe better for normies to grasp the address thing with an IRL example?

2) Should USDC balance show USDC here? see screen

What kind of example could help do you think?
