Mastering Ethereum

By: Merunas Grincalaitis

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.

Learning Ethereum testing and securing tools

Security in the blockchain is the top priority above any other feature. Without secure applications, we can't begin to work on the simplest of the smart contracts because users won't trust our code. That's why you must learn about all the possibilities when it comes to securing your programs as a master Ethereum developer.

Understanding monitoring utilities

Monitoring is the act of watching how your applications are behaving in the real world. You see, it's important to watch over your code, since it's being used by potentially thousands of users all over the world: you don't want them to have a poor experience at random moments.
