  • provider.tsx: Configuration for providers.
  • rainbowkitConfig.ts: Configuration for RainbowKit.
  • wagmiProviderConfig.ts: Configuration for WAGMI providers.
• Lib: Contains various utility folders for easy organization:
  • Constants: Application constants.
  • Functions: General functions used across the app.
  • Types: Type definitions.
  • Utils: Utility functions.
• Pages:
  • index.ts: Main entry point.
  • Etherspot.tsx: Page component for Etherspot.
  • Home.tsx: Homepage component.
  • Wagmi.tsx: Wagmi-related page component.

Code for ERC20, ERC721, and ERC1155 Tabs

The code responsible for the tabs corresponding to ERC20, ERC721, and ERC1155 can be found within the components folder:

• ERC20: Located in the components/tokens/ERC20 directory.
• ERC721: Located in the components/tokens/ERC721 directory.
• ERC1155: Located in the components/tokens/ERC1155 directory.

This structured approach ensures that code and assets are logically grouped, facilitating ease of navigation and maintainability.

Understanding the ERC20 Tab Code

The code interacts with a smart contract to mint tRSK tokens. Here's a detailed breakdown of how this is achieved:

1. Smart Contract Reference:

• Address: The smart contract's address is specified by the ERC20_ADDRESS constant.
• ABI: The contract's ABI (Application Binary Interface), which defines the contract functions and their parameters, is provided by the abi constant.

2. Reading Contract Data:

const { data, isLoading, isError, refetch } = useReadContract({
    abi,
    address: ERC20_ADDRESS,
    functionName: "balanceOf",
    args: [address],
});

3. Writing to the Contract: The useWriteContract hook from the wagmi library is used to interact with the contract's write functions (functions that modify the state).

4. Minting Tokens: The mintTokens function calls writeContractAsync to mint tRSK tokens.

• Arguments:
  • abi: Defines the contract functions and their parameters.
  • address: The address of the deployed ERC-20 contract.
  • functionName: The name of the function to call, which is "mint" in this case.
  • args: An array containing the user's wallet address and the amount to mint (100 in this case).

const mintTokens = async () => {
  setLoading(true);
  try {
      const txHash = await writeContractAsync({
          abi,
          address: ERC20_ADDRESS,
          functionName: "mint",
          args: [address, 100],
      });
      await waitForTransactionReceipt(rainbowkitConfig, {
          confirmations: 1,
          hash: txHash,
      });
      setLoading(false);
      toast({
          title: "Successfully minted tRSK tokens",
          description: "Refresh the page to see changes",
      });
      refetch();
  } catch (e) {
      toast({
          title: "Error",
          description: "Failed to mint tRSK tokens",
          variant: "destructive",
      });
      setLoading(false);
      console.error(e);
  }
};

This sends a transaction to the blockchain to execute the "mint" function on the smart contract, thereby minting tRSK tokens and depositing them into the user's wallet.

Understanding the ERC721 Tab Code

This code defines a React component named ERC721Tab, which provides a user interface for interacting with an ERC-721 smart contract.

The Key Functions Within This Component:

1. useReadContract: This hook is used to read data from the ERC-721 contract. It fetches the balance of NFTs held by the connected user's address.

• Parameters:
  • abi: The ABI (Application Binary Interface) of the ERC-721 contract.
  • address: The address of the ERC-721 contract.
  • functionName: The name of the function to call on the contract (balanceOf).
  • args: The arguments to pass to the contract function ([address]).

2. useWriteContract: This hook is used to write data to the ERC-721 contract, specifically to mint a new NFT.

Function:

• writeContractAsync: Asynchronously writes to the contract by calling the safeMint function of the ERC-721 contract.

3. mintNFT: This is an asynchronous function that handles the minting process of a new NFT.

• Steps:
  • Sets the loading state to true.
  • Attempts to call the safeMint function on the ERC-721 contract using writeContractAsync.
  • Waits for the transaction to be confirmed using waitForTransactionReceipt.
  • Displays a success toast message if the minting is successful.
  • Refetches the user's NFT balance by calling refetch.
  • Catches any errors, logs them, and displays an error toast message.
  • Sets the loading state to false.

4. refetch: This function is part of the useReadContract hook and is used to refresh the balance of NFTs after a successful minting operation.

5. toast: This function is used to display toast notifications for success or error messages.

The rest of the component contains JSX to render the UI elements, including a button to mint the NFT, a balance display, and a link to view the minted NFTs on a block explorer.

Understanding the ERC1155 Tab Code

The code provided is a React component that interacts with a smart contract using the ERC-1155 standard. It allows users to mint tokens and check their balances.

The Key Functions Within This Component:

1. ERC1155Tab Component:

State Variables:

• loading: Boolean to manage the loading state during token minting.
• value: Number to store the selected token type for minting.
• address: The user's wallet address obtained from the useAccount hook.

2. useReadContract Hooks: These hooks are used to read data from the smart contract.

• useReadContract for checking the balance of Type A tokens (with ID 1).
• useReadContract for checking the balance of Type B tokens (with ID 2).

3. mintTokens Function: An asynchronous function that handles the minting of tokens.

• Steps:
  • Calls writeContractAsync to interact with the smart contract and mint tokens.
  • Waits for the transaction receipt using waitForTransactionReceipt.
  • Displays success or error toasts based on the outcome.
  • Refetches the balance data after minting.
