Learn EVM Opcodes Series Overview

Welcome to the comprehensive series on understanding Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) Opcodes! This series is designed for individuals aiming to deepen their knowledge of the Solidity programming language, focusing on security aspects and low-level operations. Through this journey, you will gain insights into how smart contracts operate at the bytecode level, enhancing your ability to write secure and efficient code, audit smart contracts, and understand the intricacies of EVM execution.

I. Introduction to Bytecode and Opcodes

Objective: Introduce the concepts of bytecode and opcodes within the context of EVM.
Key Topics:
Definition of Bytecode and Opcodes
Importance in Solidity security
Overview of EVM architecture

II. Understanding Basic Opcodes

Objective: Learn the fundamental opcodes for arithmetic and stack manipulation.
Key Topics:
ADD, SUB, MUL, DIV, and POP opcodes
Code snippets and visual illustrations

III. Manipulating the Largest Number in EVM

Objective: Explore EVM's handling of large numbers through practical opcode manipulation.
Key Topics:
Understanding EVM's numerical limits
Practical exercises with arithmetic opcodes

Hey @veridelisi, thanks for the suggestion! Tutorials related to opcodes would be nice to have... I'm a bit reluctant on adding 11 tutorials in bulk though all on this topic. Were you looking to list all 11 of these individually, or just the landing page that lists them all?

I would suggest either listing the landing page that links to the other 11, or maybe listing the first 2 or 3. If we go with the first couple, would there be a way to update those to link back to the landing page? (Or maybe they already do and I missed it)

Assigning you! Let us know if you have questions or hit issues

@wackerow Paul, I shorted the list. What do you think?
