Demystify the blockchain-and learn how to use it-with this practical guide. Start from the
ground up: What is Ethereum? What is Solidity? And how are they used to create smart contracts?
Then see how to implement your own blockchain including configuring a peer-to-peer network
managing miner accounts and more. Follow step-by-step instructions and detailed code examples
to develop smart contracts and dApps. Work with cutting-edge technologies such as Bitcoin
Uniswap NFTs Ripple IOTA and more. Welcome to the world of blockchain! In this book
you'll learn about: a. Blockchain Basics You've heard the hype around Bitcoin NFTs
and crypto mining. But how does the underlying blockchain technology work? Understand the
fundamentals of the distributed ledger and learn how to create and manage your own blockchain.
b. Application Development Master smart contracts from programming with Solidity to
testing debugging deployment and beyond. Develop decentralized applications (dApps) and
expand them into a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) by implementing a frontend with
Ether.js. c. Tips from the Experts Follow guidance from experienced blockchain
programmers. Use commented code examples as templates for your projects to get started building
your own blockchain and smart contracts in the real world. Highlights include:
1) Blockchain basics and creation 2) Smart contracts and dApps 3) Development with
Solidity 4) Testing debugging and security 5) Web APIs 6) Peer-to-peer
frameworks 7) Accounts and balances 8) Transaction and block verification 9) Gas
optimization 10) Decentralized finance (DeFi) 11) Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) 12)
Yul contracts
