zkEVMs are an attempt to overcome the complexity of implementing an EVM-compatible zk-rollup to ease the integration with current EVM tools and opcodes along with the knowledge derived from it.

Whenever we need to query data from the blockchain, we fetch it from a node. An archive node differs from a full node since the first holds the entire history of network transactions. Thus, some queries for older block transactions cannot be fetched easily on a full node. In this tutorial, we will programmatically fetch data from the blockchain, switching between full and archive nodes when necessary.

Chainlink is one of the most popular decentralized oracles in DeFi today, while Foundry is an up and coming smart contract development framework that promises blazing fast speeds. Learn a bit about both in this tutorial by deploying a chainlink smart contract using Foundry.
