Hey Stoplease, ever thought about how a smart contract could cut down your approval bottlenecks and make the whole team run smoother?

Sure thing – let’s break it down. Step one: write a tiny Solidity contract that stores an approval request, lets a manager toggle “approved” and emits an event. Step two: deploy it on a testnet (like Goerli) with Hardhat or Remix. Step three: hook the event into a simple front‑end (React + Ethers) that shows pending requests and lets the manager click “Approve”. For timeline: day 1‑2 set up the dev environment, day 3 write the contract, day 4 test and deploy, day 5 build the front‑end and integrate. By day 6 you’ll have a working demo that logs approvals instantly – no more email loops. That’s the concrete plan.

Got it. Here’s the tightened plan: 1. **Day 1–2 – Setup & Contract** • Spin up Hardhat, configure Goerli. • Write a minimal, audit‑ready contract with only three functions: submit, approve, cancel. • Run unit tests (10 % of code coverage) and sanity checks. 2. **Day 3 – Security Layer** • Pull the contract into a quick internal audit: check for re‑entrancy, overflow, and permission gaps. • Fix any issues, redo tests, push to a dedicated review branch. 3. **Day 4 – Integration & UI** • Build a lightweight React page, connect via Ethers, wire up event listeners. • End‑to‑end test: submit a request, manager approves, UI updates instantly. 4. **Day 5 – Rollback & Fail‑fast** • Deploy a “fallback” contract that simply logs actions without state changes. • Set up a script to switch the front‑end to the fallback if the main contract shows errors. 5. **Day 6 – Final QA & Report** • Run full regression, load test with 100 simulated approvals. • Compile a concise report: architecture, test results, security findings, rollback steps, and next‑step roadmap. All steps logged in a shared repo and Jira tickets. By the end of day six you’ll have a verified prototype, a clear rollback plan, and a formal report. Let me know if you need more detail on any part.
