Ethereum Projects for Beginners

Overview of this book

Ethereum enables the development of efficient, smart contracts that contain code. These smart contracts can interact with other smart contracts to make decisions, store data, and send Ether to others.Ethereum Projects for Beginners provides you with a clear introduction to creating cryptocurrencies, smart contracts, and decentralized applications. As you make your way through the book, you’ll get to grips with detailed step-by-step processes to build advanced Ethereum projects. Each project will teach you enough about Ethereum to be productive right away. You will learn how tokenization works, think in a decentralized way, and build blockchain-based distributed computing systems. Towards the end of the book, you will develop interesting Ethereum projects such as creating wallets and secure data sharing.By the end of this book, you will be able to tackle blockchain challenges by implementing end-to-end projects using the full power of the Ethereum blockchain.

Ethereum outside the browser


This section will teach us to work with Ethereum outside the browser. Standard libraries that can be used on Java, Python, Go, or .NET have been developed by the Ethereum team. These are accessible directly from GitHub at https://github.com/ethereum.

 

One essential feature that you need in order to use Ethereum outside your browser is a connection to the Ethereum network. This connection can be direct—that is, connected directly to your application—or you can use a relay server. Even though using a relay server is not an optimal option, it is completely possible. To use a relay server, you first need to have a server of your own that is centralized in nature and only accepts presigned transactions.

Another requirement that is necessary for using Ethereum outside your browser is the Ethereum library of the language that you will be using to develop it. This is optional because we always start any transaction with raw data. To get a transaction going on the Ethereum...
