John Reynolds·Nov 28, 2022Initializing Upgradeable ContractsMy previous article highlighted a new initialization process used by EIP-2535: Diamonds as “A better way to initialize smart contracts.” This article will cover upgradeable smart contracts in more detail to defend my claim and provide insights. After reviewing upgradeability more generally, the following focus points will be discussed: OpenZeppelin…Smart Contracts9 min readSmart Contracts9 min read
John Reynolds·Nov 19, 2022A better way to initialize upgradeable contractsEIP-2535 Diamonds — Overview Smart contract code is immutable, which means that the code cannot be changed after deployment. This presents challenges when developing on the blockchain because it prevents the ability to perform maintenance or updates. Smart contracts also face a 24KB contract size limit, introducing scalability dilemmas. …Smart Contracts4 min readSmart Contracts4 min read

EIP2535 Diamonds a.k.a The Diamond Standard proposed by Nick Mudge is a new Upgradeable Proxy Pattern that aims to solve two pressing problems for solidity smart contracts; Modularity: This is the ability of a system to be functional even in smaller divisions. Most Traditional Smart contracts…Solidity3 min readSolidity3 min read

Nick Mudgein1MillionDevs·Mar 10, 2020Solidity Storage Layout For Proxy Contracts and DiamondsNote: A proxy contract is a contract that delegates its function calls to another contract called a delegate contract or logic contract or facet. A diamond is a contract that can delegate function calls to different contracts called facets. Diamonds are specified by the diamond standard. …Ethereum6 min readEthereum6 min read
