What is æternity?

In this chapter, you will learn the basics of æternity smart contracts and build the foundation for our dæpp.

In this video, we are introducing the aeternity smart contract editor and its functionalities.

Intro to the smart contract editor

In this video, we will build our first contract that can write to the aeternity blockchain and retrieve data from it. We will also learn about the state, types and functions of our contract.  ⚠️ Update:  When you enter a string as an argument in the contract editor you no longer need quotation marks as described in the videos. Instead of “url.com”, it’s url.com.

Enter and retrieve an URL from the blockchain

In this video, you will learn about maps, records and addresses in Sophia. We will further develop our smart contract and make it possible to store and retrieve multiple memes with multiple data types.

Store multiple memes with multiple values
