How do you prevent MEV frontrunners from stealing your transactions, copying your smart contracts and understanding your strategies built into your smart contracts on-chain? Let me take you into the depths of the dark forest, where bleeding-edge smart contract bytecode obfuscation techniques are developed to keep your secrets hidden for longer.
Learn how the EVMs storage system works by interacting with it through smart contracts using solidity's inline assembly/yul, taking you a step closer to bridging the gap between high and low level programming! We'll walkthrough each encounter you will face by learning deal with them using bitwise operations alongside SLOAD and SSTORE to control the EVMs storage at will.
You may have have wondered how to decipher and read evm calldata, then attempted to read the transaction calldata of an Ethereum smart contract, only to become confused at a certain point. The EVM (and other L1 forks) encode and decode calldata in a specific way for static and dynamic types, which can be initially confusing. In this article, we will delve into the encoding sequence of calldata so that you can comprehend any verified or unverified smart contract transactions and understand the bytes. By doing so, I hope to empower you to create your own raw calldata.
