INTRODUCING BLOCKCHAIN APPLICATIONS IBD

Sinopse

Deepen your understanding of blockchain technology and develop your own blockchain applications. This book provides a thorough review of distribution-based systems on blockchain technology, starting from the fundamental concepts that underlie it, all the way through the implementation of a blockchain network for business purposes.áAuthor Joseph Thachil George begins by introducing you to blockchain and some basic concepts of technology, including distributed systems, systems of systems, cyber-physical systems,áthe Byzantine Consensus, the CAP theorem, and cryptographic techniques. Next, he analyzes the structure of blocks and smart contracts and the mother of all blockchain platforms, Bitcoin. That sets the stage for an examination of transaction structure, validation, and flow, from creation to registration in the ledger and structure of the blocks, the Nakamoto consensus, and finally forks. From there, youâÇÖll experience a deep dive into Ethereum, including the concepts of Gas and Message, smart contracts and the Ethereum virtual machine. From there, youâÇÖll learn about the Ethereum consensus protocol, Ethereum Casper, and the Ethereum Proof-of-Stake algorithm. YouâÇÖll then see how blockchain can be connected to a distributed system, followed by a demonstration of how you can model a distributed system using Blockly4SoS and Kilobots. The concluding chapters offer a practical example that combines distributed systems with blockchain technology.áAfter reading this book, you will understand how to implement blockchain technology in a distributed system and be able to leverage this knowledge in your own projects.áWhat You Will LearnLearn the concept of blockchains by way of a practical exampleááGrasp the connection between distributed systems and blockchain technologyLearn the design of blockchain with hyperledger fabricLearn the design of cyber-physical systems in a distributed environmentáWho Is This Book ForDevelopers who are enthusiastic about the design and implementation of distributed systems.
