Deploying with cookbook is completely free? How do you guys make revenue?
We work with SMBs and Startups for advanced contracts, analytics and tooling. That's really how we're able to sustainably keep Cookbook free for individual developers

Hm, I wonder why that is.

#33Looks really good!
What’s been the most interesting use case you’ve seen so far?
Re: Show HN: Find any smart contract on Cookbook
#34I can’t be the only one that doesn’t understand what any of this means. Can someone ELI5? Or, ELI am a software engineer with no web3 knowledge, at least?
Smart contracts are just pieces of code that run on "the blockchain". They can be pretty much anything: currency-like tokens, NFTs, marketplaces like opensea, exchanges like uniswap, etc. Once they're uploaded to the blockchain, they're there permanently. That's really scary, because it's very difficult to write complicated code without bugs. When smart contracts have bugs, you can have massive hacks where literally…
Thanks - great explanation.
Smart contracts on blockchain scare me, because I just don’t think humans are capable of writing (or auditing!) perfect code.

Someone was actually building a decentralized commodities exchange, and used a couple of Cookbook contracts to build out their infrastructure

Software engineers tend to follow demand, with some lagtime. Since crypto goes through these manic bull/bear cycles, demand dramatically spikes and falls. Hard to make a career change when the next bear cycle can wipe out your prospects. As crypto stabilizes, there should be a wave of immigration into web3 engineering. You can already kind of see who these engineers will be, they're often the web2 developers who just happen to be working on web3 projects (and don't know solidity)

#37I think this is very valuable for web3 founders bootstrapping and with limited access to blockchain development resources.

Thank you! That's our goal. We want to make building in Web3 significantly faster and easy with Cookbook.
