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.

The Ethereum Enterprise Alliance

The Enterprise Ethereum Alliance (EEA) is a nonprofit working group whose aim is to define an open, standards-based architecture for business and enterprise use of Ethereum. Group members include many large companies from the world of software and finance, such as Microsoft, Accenture, and J.P.Morgan. The group is currently working toward defining the Ethereum Enterprise Architecture Stack, which itself will help guide the development of the EEA's overall standards-based specification.

EEA's specification will help define a standard way in which Ethereum's blockchain can be used for business purposes. However, given the opensource nature of Ethereum's codebase, adhering to EEA's specification won't necessarily be required: Ethereum's codebase can be used in any way desired.
