Overview of this book

Ethereum is one of the commonly used platforms for building blockchain applications. It's a decentralized platform for applications that can run exactly as programmed without being affected by fraud, censorship, or third-party interference. This book will give you a deep understanding of how blockchain works so that you can discover the entire ecosystem, core components, and its implementations. You will get started by understanding how to configure and work with various Ethereum protocols for developing dApps. Next, you will learn to code and create powerful smart contracts that scale with Solidity and Vyper. You will then explore the building blocks of the dApps architecture, and gain insights on how to create your own dApp through a variety of real-world examples. The book will even guide you on how to deploy your dApps on multiple Ethereum instances with the required best practices and techniques. The next few chapters will delve into advanced topics such as, building advanced smart contracts and multi-page frontends using Ethereum blockchain. You will also focus on implementing machine learning techniques to build decentralized autonomous applications, in addition to covering several use cases across a variety of domains such as, social media and e-commerce. By the end of this book, you will have the expertise you need to build decentralized autonomous applications confidently.

Various dApps Integrations

This chapter is about improving your existing dApps and smart contracts with new techniques that will make them faster, better, and more efficient. What's interesting is that most dApps can be improved with a few tricks. You'll discover new aspects of dApp development, including creating your own oracles and backends that work with smart contracts. First, you'll start by improving your React skills, and then we'll move to the backend so that you learn how to create better centralized backends for hybrid dApps that require intensive resources to work properly. After that, we'll go back to the frontend to learn how to build stronger dApps with web3.js. To cover all the areas related to your dApps, you'll build oracles with your recently acquired knowledge about servers, which are the main components to take into consideration...
