AI translates the explanation and quiz text while preserving code and answer scoring.

Events are declared with the `event` keyword and emitted with `log`. Indexed fields let off-chain listeners filter efficiently by topic, exactly as in Solidity.

event Deposited:
    sender: indexed(address)
    amount: uint256

@external
@payable
def deposit():
    self.balances[msg.sender] += msg.value
    log Deposited(sender=msg.sender, amount=msg.value)

Events cost far less gas than storage and are the standard way for a front-end or indexer to reconstruct contract history without re-reading the whole state.

How to study this topic

  1. 1. Read the explanation once end to end, skipping the code.
  2. 2. Re-read the code snippets and say out loud what each line does.
  3. 3. Answer the quiz without scrolling back — that is the real check.
  4. 4. Read every explanation, even for the answers you got right.

  • · Up to 30 XP from quiz accuracy.
