## Technical Architecture Deep Dive

### Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM)

**What Is the EVM?**
The Ethereum Virtual Machine is a distributed state machine that provides the runtime environment for smart contracts. Every Ethereum node runs the EVM, ensuring network-wide state consistency.

**EVM Characteristics**
- **Sandbox Environment**: Isolated execution ensures security.
- **Deterministic Execution**: The same inputs always produce the same outputs.
- **Gas Metering**: Limits computational resource usage through gas.
- **State Persistence**: Contract state is stored on the blockchain.

**EVM Architecture Components**
```
┌─────────────────────────────────────┐
│           EVM Architecture           │
│ 1. Execution Environment             │
│ 2. Stack - 1024 depth limit          │
│ 3. Memory - Temporary storage        │
│ 4. Storage - Persistent state        │
│ 5. Program Counter                   │
│ 6. Gas Meter                         │
└─────────────────────────────────────┘
```

### Smart Contracts

**Smart Contract Basics**
Smart contracts are executable code deployed on Ethereum. Once deployed, they cannot be modified and automatically execute according to preset logic.

**Smart Contract Characteristics**
- **Immutable**: Code cannot be changed after deployment.
- **Self-Executing**: Runs automatically when conditions are met.
- **Transparent**: Code is publicly visible on the blockchain.
- **Trustless**: No need to trust a third party.

**Smart Contract Lifecycle**
```
Development → Compilation → Deployment → Invocation → Self-destruct (optional)
     ↓            ↓            ↓           ↓              ↓
  Solidity →   Bytecode →   On-chain →  Execution →   Destruction
```

### Account System

**Two Types of Accounts**

**1. Externally Owned Accounts (EOA)**
- Controlled by a private key.
- Can initiate transactions.
- No associated code.
- Has an ETH balance.

**2. Contract Accounts**
- Controlled by smart contract code.
- Passively responds to calls.
- Contains contract code.
- Has an ETH balance and storage state.

### Gas Mechanism

**Gas Concept**
Gas is a unit of computation in the Ethereum network, used to measure the computational resources required to execute an operation.

**Gas-Related Concepts**
- **Gas Limit**: The maximum amount of gas a transaction is willing to consume.
- **Gas Price**: The price per unit of gas (in Wei).
- **Gas Used**: The actual amount of gas consumed.
- **Transaction Fee**: Gas Used x Gas Price

**Gas Fee Calculation**
```
Transaction Fee = Gas Used x Gas Price
Example: 21,000 Gas x 20 Gwei = 0.00042 ETH
```

## Ethereum 2.0 and Consensus Mechanism

### The Transition from PoW to PoS

**Proof of Work (PoW) → Proof of Stake (PoS)**

| Mechanism | PoW (Old) | PoS (New) |
|-----------|----------|----------|
| Validation Method | Computing hashes | Staking ETH |
| Energy Consumption | Extremely high | Extremely low |
| Hardware Requirements | Specialized mining rigs | Regular computers |
| Minimum Threshold | Purchase mining equipment | 32 ETH stake |
| Security Model | 51% hashrate attack | 51% stake attack |

### Ethereum 2.0 Key Features

**Sharding**
- Divides the network into 64 shards.
- Processes transactions in parallel.
- Dramatically increases throughput.

**Beacon Chain**
- PoS consensus coordinator.
- Manages validators and staking.
- Launched December 2020.

**The Merge**
- Completed September 2022.
- Mainnet officially transitioned to PoS.
- Energy consumption reduced by 99.95%.

## Smart Contract Development

### Solidity Basic Syntax

**Data Types**
```solidity
pragma solidity ^0.8.0;

contract DataTypes {
    // Numeric types
    uint256 public number = 42;
    int256 public signedNumber = -42;

    // Boolean type
    bool public flag = true;

    // Address type
    address public owner = 0x1234...;

    // Strings and bytes
    string public name = "Ethereum";
    bytes32 public hash;

    // Arrays
    uint256 [] public dynamicArray;
    uint256 [5] public fixedArray;

    // Mappings
    mapping (address => uint256) public balances;

    // Structs
    struct User {
        string name;
        uint256 age;
        address wallet;
    }
}
```

**Function Modifiers**
```solidity
contract Modifiers {
    address public owner;

    constructor () {
        owner = msg.sender;
    }

    modifier onlyOwner () {
        require (msg.sender == owner, "Not owner");
        _;
    }

    modifier validAddress (address _addr) {
        require (_addr != address (0), "Invalid address");
        _;
    }

    function restrictedFunction ()
        public
        onlyOwner
        validAddress (msg.sender)
    {
        // Only the owner can call this
    }
}
```

### Common Contract Patterns

**1. ERC20 Token Contract**
```solidity
pragma solidity ^0.8.0;

import "@openzeppelin/contracts/token/ERC20/ERC20.sol";

contract MyToken is ERC20 {
    constructor (
        string memory name,
        string memory symbol,
        uint256 totalSupply
    ) ERC20 (name, symbol) {
        _mint (msg.sender, totalSupply);
    }
}
```

**2. Multi-Signature Wallet**
```solidity
contract MultiSig {
    address [] public owners;
    uint256 public requiredConfirmations;

    struct Transaction {
        address to;
        uint256 value;
        bytes data;
        bool executed;
        uint256 confirmations;
    }

    Transaction [] public transactions;
    mapping (uint256 => mapping (address => bool)) public isConfirmed;

    modifier onlyOwner () {
        require (isOwner (msg.sender), "Not owner");
        _;
    }

    function submitTransaction (
        address _to,
        uint256 _value,
        bytes memory _data
    ) public onlyOwner {
        // Submit transaction logic
    }

    function confirmTransaction (uint256 _txIndex) public onlyOwner {
        // Confirm transaction logic
    }
}
```

## Security Best Practices

### Common Security Vulnerabilities

**1. Reentrancy Attack**
```solidity
// Vulnerable code
function withdraw (uint256 amount) public {
    require (balances [msg.sender] >= amount);

    // Dangerous: calling external contract before state update
    (bool success, ) = msg.sender.call {value: amount}("");
    require (success);

    balances [msg.sender] -= amount; // Too late!
}

// Secure code
function withdraw (uint256 amount) public {
    require (balances [msg.sender] >= amount);

    balances [msg.sender] -= amount; // Update state first

    (bool success, ) = msg.sender.call {value: amount}("");
    require (success);
}
```

**2. Integer Overflow**
```solidity
// Use SafeMath or Solidity 0.8+
pragma solidity ^0.8.0; // Automatic overflow checking

contract SafeContract {
    function safeAdd (uint256 a, uint256 b) public pure returns (uint256) {
        return a + b; // Version 0.8+ automatically checks for overflow
    }
}
```

**3. Access Control**
```solidity
import "@openzeppelin/contracts/access/Ownable.sol";

contract SecureContract is Ownable {
    function sensitiveFunction () public onlyOwner {
        // Only the owner can call this
    }
}
```

### Secure Development Process

**Development Phase**
1. Use the OpenZeppelin contract library.
2. Follow Solidity best practices.
3. Write comprehensive test cases.
4. Perform static analysis (Slither).

**Pre-Deployment**
1. Multiple rounds of code audits.
2. Bug bounty programs.
3. Thorough testnet testing.
4. Formal verification (optional).

**Post-Deployment**
1. Monitor for anomalous activity.
2. Prepare emergency response plans.
3. Regular security reviews.
4. Community vulnerability reports.
