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.

Building the user interface

The user interface for DAXs is the same as the ones used for traditional exchanges, such as the stock exchange, or centralized crypto-exchanges, such as Binance. The idea is to provide a data-driven design where they can quickly understand the situation of the selected token pairs. A central section will be used for the data, a sidebar will be used for the actions that users may take, and an additional sidebar to the right will be used for secondary data; in our case, it will be used for past trades.

As usual, create a src and dist folder that will include our project. You can just copy the setup from previous projects by taking a look at my own version on github.com/merlox/dapp. Our design will be based on most exchanges since they have a studied formula that feels great. Create the sidebar with a new component inside your index.js file.
