Feat: Sierra explaination

[julio4]

Description

Write about understanding Cairo's Sierra IR: from a high-level cairo to a safe IR for starknet.

Sierra is a crucial component in the compilation pipeline, as a memory-safe intermediate representation between Cairo and CASM. With this issue, we want to add a page to get an understanding of the transformation process.

You need to already have some experience on using and experimenting with Sierra.

Can I please be assigned to this issue @julio4

To solve this issue, I will create a page explaining Sierra IR’s role as a memory-safe intermediate representation between Cairo and CASM.
Then i will describe how Cairo code is transformed into Sierra, ensuring security and optimization, and how this step protects against memory issues. Lastly i will highlight Sierra’s contribution to Starknet’s performance, scalability, and reliability by enabling efficient, secure execution of contracts.

Hey 👋🏻 @julio4 I would like to embark on this issue #260

I'm Pascal Torti, a Web2/Web3 developer (java, JavaScript and Cairo). I just graduated from the Starknet-cairo bootcamp and I would love to give back to the community as the community has given me this knowledge

Steps to Solution

1. Explanation on all the areas surrounding compilation
2. References would be taken (specifically for Cairo) from the Cairo book and the Starknet book
3. More research on in depth resources for broader and simpler aspects on the topics
4. Example codes with relation with the research provided above. I would make sure I break it down for new comers to understand.
5. ETA is 4-5 days max, due to research.

I'd like to handle this task.

Can I try working on this issue? I have a solid understanding of Sierra how it works and why it was created

Hi, I would love to contribute to this issue. I have been learning Cairo for the past 3 months and been creating guides for Starknet contracts during my internship at Nethermind (already completed), including ERC-720 and ERC-20. I started to contribute to Open Source projects during this ODHack, this issue would be an amazing opportunity to start my path as open source contributor in the Starknet ecosystem.

I enjoy writing technical content so this issue would be a great way to improve my skills while contributing to Starknet by example. See some examples of my technical writing here: https://talento-upgrade.notion.site/Technical-Content-creation-Portfolio-13fcabbcfb8a80579ca8fee07fdf483d?pvs=73

As I have a little bit of experience writing Starknet content, I would complete this in 2-3 days after the assignment.
