Vyper is great

If you wanted to get real crazy, a most unpopular opinion might be to use Vyper w/an EIP-2535 compliant smart contract framework. The gas efficiencies would be insane

Another alternative could be ethscriptions. Doesn't use any language. Or smart contracts for that matter. 40x more efficient than ERC721

i thought diamonds were a negative pattern. what’s the selling point?

More efficient variable storage via libraries mitigate against "stack too deep" errors and reduce gas costs.

We wrote 2 implementations of meTokens. One with a standard Open Zeppelin style framework. And one with a diamond framework. Iirc the diamond framework was about 12% more gas efficient and is what we deployed.

It's entirely because of this Trail of Bits blog. Primary criticisms:

1. hard to read - it's not

2. upgrades are risky - so are OpenZeppelin's

3. bad name - @vbuterin named the original Ethereum logo ETH_FACET.jpeg

how difficult are upgrades generally? what are the major risks here?
