ERC-20 with OpenZeppelin, Extensions, and Minting

This lesson is for enrolled learners

The concept Writing ERC-20 from scratch (previous lesson) is how you learn the mechanics; shipping to mainnet, you use OpenZeppelin Contracts — an audited, battle-tested library used by the overwhelming majority of production tokens. import "@openzeppelin/contracts/token/ERC20/ERC20.sol"; gives you the full interface plus internal _mint, _burn, and _transfer hooks already handling the edge cases (zero-address checks, overflow-safe math, correct event emission)……
