The Hackathon stack and how to Speedrun Ethereum
summary
Walks through the hackathon workflow: use Scaffold‑ETH (npx create…, yarn chain/start/deploy) to spin up a monorepo (Hardhat or Foundry + Next.js), auto-generate contract UIs via the debug contracts tab, deploy and verify to a live chain (demoed to Base), and scaffold front end components. Follows the Speedrun Ethereum curriculum with concrete challenges: NFT → staking → token vendor → AMM (Uniswap v2) → over‑collateralized lending and stablecoin → prediction markets + oracles → ZK voting/mixers using Noir and incremental Merkle trees; burner wallets and sponsored smart accounts handle private-key workflows.
