Working with DAI or any ERC20 token (w/ Money-Legos)

[adrianmcli]

One of the very basic things you need for DeFi is to simply work with DAI. This can either be accomplished in one of two ways (or more):

1. Forking off the mainnet and pointing to the actual DAI contract, or;
2. Creating a FakeDai token to work with (which is just an ERC20 that you can mint).

Any other ideas are welcome. Perhaps we should interview some existing DeFi projects about how they go about developing their dapps.

A tutorial focused on working with ERC20 tokens.

I wanted to avoid this cause theres tons of other blog posts which go into great detail on ERC20s

But not with money legos though

won't talk about ERC20 so much, just small snippets w/ money-legos that make it simple to call approve and transferFrom.
