How interviewers test Ethereum

Real questions from Skilture's interview banks, with what the interviewer is listening for.

  1. Blockchain Developer · basic

    Explain the concept of 'gas' in Ethereum. Why is it necessary, and what happens if a transaction runs out of gas?

    Listen for: A strong answer defines gas as the unit of computational effort on the Ethereum network, explaining its role in preventing spam and fairly compensating miners. The candidate should know that running out of gas causes the transaction to revert, but the gas consumed is still paid. Confusion about gas price vs. gas limit is a red flag.

  2. Blockchain Developer · advanced

    Design a simple token standard (e.g., ERC-20 like) from scratch. What are the essential functions and events it must include, and why?

    Listen for: A strong answer will list key ERC-20 functions like 'totalSupply', 'balanceOf', 'transfer', 'transferFrom', 'approve', 'allowance', and events like 'Transfer' and 'Approval'. The candidate should explain the purpose of each, especially the 'approve'/'transferFrom' pattern for delegated transfers. Missing core functions or events indicates a gap in understanding token standards.
