Dive into working mechanics of the decentralized blockchain applications to build your own scalable dapps

• Guide to help you learn Blockchain ecosystem and their terminologies
• Implement smart contracts, wallet, consensus protocols, and other principles
• Design and develop decentralized applications using Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Hyperledger

If you are keen on learning how to build your own blockchain decentralized applications from scratch, then this book is what you need. Implement key building blocks of a blockchain ecosystem with this handy guide. It explains all the basic concepts required to develop intermediate projects

• Grasp the decentralized technology fundamentals to master blockchain principles.
• Build blockchain projects on Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Hyperledger.
• Create your own currency and a payment application using Bitcoin
• Implement Web3.js apps and supply chain system using Hyperledger.
• Write smart contracts, run your ICO and build tontine decentralized app using Ethereum
• Explore Blockchain to learn how to implement distributed file management.
• Integrate blockchain into your existing systems in your organization

The blockchain is a revolution promising a new world without middlemen. Technically, it is an immutable and tamper-proof distributed ledger of all transactions across a peer-to-peer network. With this book, you will set a foundation to get into the grips of blockchain ecosystem to build real-world projects.

Throughout the book, we will walk you through a detailed step-by-step process using solidity to build three blockchain projects with different complexity levels and hurdles. This book will provide you with all the relevant concepts related to cryptocurrencies, smart contracts, and blockchain in order to build your own decentralized applications. Each project will teach you just enough about blockchain to be productive right away. We will cover the different set of projects such as Bitcoin Payment System, Supply Chain on Hyperledger, and Tontine Bank Dapp using Ethereum. We will cover major challenges that are associated with Blockchain ecosystems such as scalability, integration, distributed file management and more.

By the end of this book, you will not only be able to tackle the common issues in the blockchain ecosystem but also design and build reliable, scalable distributed systems.
