I Broke Production 3 Times: Smart Contract Deployment Mistakes You’re Making

2025/10/22 22:16

I’ll never forget the feeling. Our newly deployed staking contract was live. Users were depositing funds. Then the messages started flooding in:

“Where’s my money?”
“I can’t withdraw!”
“The contract ate my ETH!”

I had broken production. Again. This was the third time I’d deployed a buggy contract to mainnet.

After losing sleep, user trust, and thousands in gas fees, I finally built a deployment process that actually works. Here are the mistakes I made — and how you can avoid them.

💥 Mistake #1: The “It Works on Testnet” Fallacy

What I did: Deployed to mainnet because “it worked on Goerli.”

What went wrong:

// Testnet worked fine
function claimRewards() external {
require(block.timestamp >= claimTime, "Too early");
// ... logic
}
// Mainnet disaster: users couldn't claim for 30 days
uint256 public claimTime = block.timestamp + 30 days;

Why The Green Bay Packers Must Take The Cleveland Browns Seriously — As Hard As That Might Be

Why The Green Bay Packers Must Take The Cleveland Browns Seriously — As Hard As That Might Be

The post Why The Green Bay Packers Must Take The Cleveland Browns Seriously — As Hard As That Might Be appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Jordan Love and the Green Bay Packers are off to a 2-0 start. Getty Images The Green Bay Packers are, once again, one of the NFL’s better teams. The Cleveland Browns are, once again, one of the league’s doormats. It’s why unbeaten Green Bay (2-0) is a 8-point favorite at winless Cleveland (0-2) Sunday according to betmgm.com. The money line is also Green Bay -500. Most expect this to be a Packers’ rout, and it very well could be. But Green Bay knows taking anyone in this league for granted can prove costly. “I think if you look at their roster, the paper, who they have on that team, what they can do, they got a lot of talent and things can turn around quickly for them,” Packers safety Xavier McKinney said. “We just got to kind of keep that in mind and know we not just walking into something and they just going to lay down. That’s not what they going to do.” The Browns certainly haven’t laid down on defense. Far from. Cleveland is allowing an NFL-best 191.5 yards per game. The Browns gave up 141 yards to Cincinnati in Week 1, including just seven in the second half, but still lost, 17-16. Cleveland has given up an NFL-best 45.5 rushing yards per game and just 2.1 rushing yards per attempt. “The biggest thing is our defensive line is much, much improved over last year and I think we’ve got back to our personality,” defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz said recently. “When we play our best, our D-line leads us there as our engine.” The Browns rank third in the league in passing defense, allowing just 146.0 yards per game. Cleveland has also gone 30 straight games without allowing a 300-yard passer, the longest active streak in the NFL.…
