How are you not one of the top developer channels on YouTube? I’m sure it’s because you do not pay for YouTube ads, which you shouldn’t. Thank you for your time and knowledge. I’ve managed servers for years and just recently wanted to start my own token. Came across your video and was amazed at what you have set up for developers. Brilliant job

I think the thing missing from this tutorial is a real understanding of why somebody would do this as opposed to just deploying a set of smart contracts.

What EC2 (or other) server size do you recommand for the engine ?

this tool is Amazing!
But, i am trying to setup two engines locally, one for sepolia, and one for polygon mainnet, but I always get SIGSEGV, no matter how much memory I grant it, the error still pop up

It just keep crashing. Are you going to fix it. Lost about $100 creating contracts and NFT's. Really bad!
