Dev Cycle Black Hole: ETH Node Syncing and Maintenance
BOTTOM LINE: If devs are working on the time hemorrhage associated with node infrastructure and syncing to the Ethereum blockchain, they are not actually doing what they are paid to do: developing the app.

Key Management: UX and Security
Key management is important because keys give access to wallets/accounts, which can hold funds. Here are the 'dos' and 'donts' of key management within your dApp...

Rich ETH Node Analytics for your QuickNode with Terminal.co
Integrating QuickNode Provider Endpoints with Terminal Today, we will go through integrating your QuickNode endpoint with the TerminalSDK. If you are a dApp developer then you probably know retrieving dApp-specific logging and infrastructure analytics is one of the most important parts of the development process, but can also be the

Practical Advice for Solidity Developers
An average of 20,000 Smart Contracts is created every day. Over 3 Million Smart Contracts were created in November and December 2018 alone! A report shows that 60% of all Ethereum contracts have never been interacted with, less than 10% of all created contracts are unique.

Zeppelin OS Tutorial 101
Zeppelin is all about Smart Contract development. The team has helped many developers build Smart Contracts with openzeppelin-solidity, one most downloaded web3 libraries on NPM (with over 10k downloads every week!).

Building with Kyber Network
The Kyber Protocol brings token inventories and prices on-chain, hence allowing developers to directly embed value exchanges into their smart-contracts without any technical or security overhead.

Creating Ethereum Smart Contracts via Command Line
This week we are going to create a Smart Contract using sbt-ethereum! sbt-ethereum not only allows you to create Smart Contracts, but also helps you manage your web3 projects (like one would with Truffle), though sbt’s rich command line tool. (it just makes your life easier as a web3 developer!)

Building Applications on Compound Finance
Open Finance is on the rise. Protocols are allowing people to lend and borrow tokens trustless via smart-contracts. In the last article, we talked about MakerDao and Dai JS (also fueling open and decentralized finance [#DeFi])

An Intro To DaiJS
The MakerDao project created the DAI stable token. A stable token is pegged to some fiat currency, which allows it to be a unit of account. Dai is a decentralized stable coin pegged to the US Dollar value (i.e. 1 Dai = $1).
