## Description

Austin Griffith speedruns building Ethereum apps with Scaffold-ETH: init, local chain, hot-reloading UI with burner wallets, and the Debug Contracts panel. He live-edits a starter contract (counter, payable price curve), shows front-end hooks for reads/writes, then “one-shots” a FOMO-3D-style game using Cursor/Claude: last clicker wins after a countdown. He debugs timer quirks (local block timestamp), discusses incentives, and deploys the app to Arbitrum and the front end to IPFS. Resources: ethereum.org, Tour, SpeedrunEthereum, Scaffold-ETH docs.

00:10 Intro, resources (ethereum.org, Tour, SpeedrunEthereum)
01:23 Scaffold-ETH init (create-eth, Foundry/Hardhat choices)
03:02 Run local chain, deploy, start front end
03:58 UI tour: burner wallets, faucet, Debug Contracts
04:44 Starter “greeter/counter” contract demo
06:20 Adding payable logic & price curve; hot-reload UX
08:16 Front-end hooks: useScaffoldRead / useScaffoldWrite
09:53 “One-shot” build with AI (Cursor/Claude)
10:54 FOMO-3D mechanics (button, pot, countdown)
13:29 AI-generated contract review (lastClicker, claimPrize)
15:16 Deploy & test; timer bug surfaces
18:01 Fixing logic; quick iteration
19:55 Incentive design for automation & liveness
23:13 Debugging local timestamp / tx heartbeat
23:49 Deploy to Arbitrum; wallet/key mgmt
27:17 Set 5-min round; deploy front end to IPFS
29:51 Wrap-up + live link/QR; build more “money legos”
