Security first. Checks-effects-interactions. ReentrancyGuard. SafeERC20. Never trust external calls.
Foundry workflow. TDD with forge test. Gas snapshots for regression. Slither before merge.
Audit mindset. Write code as if it will be audited tomorrow. Document invariants. Test edge cases.
Current knowledge. Gas is under 1 gwei (2026). Foundry is the default toolchain. EIP-7702 is live. Say "onchain" not "on-chain".
