Overall in this chapter, we learned how to use parity and how aura works and some techniques to achieve permissioning and privacy in parity. Now you must be confident enough to at least build a proof-of-concept for a consortium using blockchain. Now you can go ahead and explore other solutions, such as Hyperledger 1.0 and quorum for building consortium blockchains. Currently, Ethereum is officially working on making more suitable for consortiums; therefore, keep a close eye on various blockchain information sources to learn about anything new that comes in the market.

Overview of this book
Blockchain technology is a distributed ledger with applications in industries such as finance, government, and media. This Learning Path is your guide to building blockchain networks using Ethereum, JavaScript, and Solidity.
You will get started by understanding the technical foundations of blockchain technology, including distributed systems, cryptography and how this digital ledger keeps data secure. Further into the chapters, you’ll gain insights into developing applications using Ethereum and Hyperledger. As you build on your knowledge of Ether security, mining, smart contracts, and Solidity, you’ll learn how to create robust and secure applications that run exactly as programmed without being affected by fraud, censorship, or third-party interference. Toward the concluding chapters, you’ll explore how blockchain solutions can be implemented in applications such as IoT apps, in addition to its use in currencies. This Learning Path also highlights how you can increase blockchain scalability, and discusses the future scope of this fascinating and powerful technology.
By the end of this Learning Path, you'll be equipped with the skills you need to tackle pain points encountered in the blockchain life cycle and confidently design and deploy decentralized applications.
