-## 🚀 Deployment Guide
+> ⚠️ **Security:** Never commit your `.env` file!
+
+### Deploy Contracts
 
-### Deploy All Contracts
+<details>
+<summary><b>Option 1: Deploy All Contracts</b></summary>

 npx hardhat compile
-
-# Deploy to Base Sepolia
 npx hardhat run scripts/deploy-all.ts --network baseSepolia
 ```
 
-### Deploy Individual Contracts

+
+<details>
+<summary><b>Option 2: Deploy Individual Contracts</b></summary>
 
 ```bash
-# Deploy specific exercise (replace XX with exercise number)
-npx hardhat run scripts/deploy-XX.ts --network baseSepolia
+# Compile first
+npx hardhat compile
+
+# Then deploy specific contract
+npx hardhat run scripts/deploy-01-basicmath.ts --network baseSepolia
 ```
 
-## ✅ Submission Process
+</details>
+
+## 📝 Submission Process
 
-1. **Deploy your contracts** to Base Sepolia testnet
-2. **Copy the deployed contract address** from the terminal
-3. **Visit [Base Learn](https://docs.base.org/base-learn/docs/welcome)** 
-4. **Navigate to the exercise** you want to submit
-5. **Paste your contract address** and click submit
-6. **Mint your NFT** after successful validation
+```mermaid
+graph LR
+    A[Deploy Contract] --> B[Copy Address]
+    B --> C[Visit Base Learn]
+    C --> D[Submit Address]
+    D --> E[Mint NFT! 🎉]
+```
 
-## 🔑 Important Notes
+1. **Deploy** your contract to Base Sepolia
+2. **Copy** the contract address from terminal
+3. **Navigate** to [Base Learn](https://docs.base.org/base-learn/docs/welcome)
+4. **Paste** address and submit
+5. **Mint** your NFT!
 
-### Security
-- **NEVER** commit your `.env` file or private keys
-- Use a dedicated wallet for testnet deployments
-- Keep your private keys secure
+## 💡 Pro Tips
 
-### Validation Tips
-- Base Learn expects **exact** function signatures
-- Don't modify function names or parameters
-- Some exercises require specific Solidity versions
-- If validation fails, check gas estimation errors
+### 🎯 Common Issues & Solutions
 
-### Common Issues
-- **"Unable to estimate network fee"** - Contract validation failed
-- **"Transaction underpriced"** - Wait for pending transactions to clear
-- **Validation failures** - Ensure exact function signatures match
+| Issue | Solution |
+|-------|----------|
+| **"Unable to estimate gas"** | Contract validation failed - check function signatures |
+| **"Transaction underpriced"** | Previous transaction pending - wait or increase gas |
+| **Contract not verifying** | Ensure exact function names and parameters match |
+| **Imports failing** | Deploy library contract first, then main contract |
+
+### 🔥 Speed Run Strategy
+
+1. **Batch Operations:** Deploy 3-4 contracts at once
+2. **Use Remix:** For quick testing before Hardhat deployment
+3. **Pre-fund Wallet:** Have enough Base Sepolia ETH ready
+4. **Keep Tab Open:** Stay logged into Base Learn platform
+
+### 🛡️ Security Best Practices
+
+- ✅ Use a **dedicated testnet wallet**
+- ✅ Store keys in `.env`, never hardcode
+- ✅ Verify contracts on BaseScan after deployment
+- ✅ Test locally with `npx hardhat test` first
