Contribution

- built hardhat-deploy allow you to deploy contracts to any network with ease, keeping track of them and replicating the same environment for testing. A reference tool yet to be emulated on other framework. optimism uses it. - invented clones-with-immutable-args An innovative mechanism that allow the copy of smart contract (clone) while letting them be configured Optimism use one of the fork of my original repo. - wrote "Ethereum, The Concept of Gas and its Dangers", an often referenced article on how gas work on the EVM: https://ronan.eth.limo/blog/ethereum-gas-dangers/ - co-authored ERC-1155 A standard that stands among the 3 main token standard in use today - co-authored ERC-2271 A standard for meta-transaction used on Optimism by Gelato and Biconomy

Tool to deploy contracts on EVM chain and track them

A innovative mechanism to deploy cheap cloned, yet configurable contract,

Educative Article on how gas work on ethereum

A standard interface for contracts that manage multiple token types.

Secure Protocol for Native Meta Transactions

Impact

1. hardhat-deploy had a huge impact - used by optimism repo: https://s.ska.sh/optimism-deploy - deployed many contract on ethereum and optimism - used as the ultimate reference to emulate on other framework (foundry,...) 2. clones-with-immutable-args discovered new ways to create configurable clones - used by Optimism (a fork of my original repo: https://s.ska.sh/optimism-clone) - lised as one of the main proxy types, see Banteg article: https://banteg.xyz/posts/minimal-proxies/ 3. My article on how gas work is used as a reference for gas in openzeppelin: https://s.ska.sh/zeppelin-ronan 4. ERC-1155 (co-author) stands as one of the 3 main token standard 5. ERC-2771 (co-author) is used across the industry for meta-tx, including Biconomy and Gelato that run on Optimism.
