Blockchain By Example

By: Bellaj Badr, Richard Horrocks, Xun (Brian) Wu

Overview of this book

The Blockchain is a revolution promising a new world without middlemen. Technically, it is an immutable and tamper-proof distributed ledger of all transactions across a peer-to-peer network. With this book, you will get to grips with the blockchain ecosystem to build real-world projects. This book will walk you through the process of building multiple blockchain projects with different complexity levels and hurdles. Each project will teach you just enough about the field's leading technologies, Bitcoin, Ethereum, Quorum, and Hyperledger in order to be productive from the outset. As you make your way through the chapters, you will cover the major challenges that are associated with blockchain ecosystems such as scalability, integration, and distributed file management. In the concluding chapters, you’ll learn to build blockchain projects for business, run your ICO, and even create your own cryptocurrency. Blockchain by Example also covers a range of projects such as Bitcoin payment systems, supply chains on Hyperledger, and developing a Tontine Bank Every is using Ethereum. By the end of this book, you will not only be able to tackle common issues in the blockchain ecosystem, but also design and build reliable and scalable distributed systems.

Trying the DApp

Good work, you have built your first Drizzle app using the Drizzle box. More importantly, you have set up a great development and deployment environment that will make DApp development and testing even easier.

We're getting close to our final goal of running our drizzle DApp, but there’s one more important step before we try the game: preparing MetaMask. To summarize, Truffle will compile and deploy the contract into Ganache and ensure connectivity with Drizzle, whereas MetaMask will connect the end user to Ganache (blockchain) in order to let a user play and manage their funds.

Connecting Ganache to MetaMask

In the previous chapter, we introduced the MetaMask plugin, which allows users to send...
