Overview of this book

Ethereum is a blockchain-based, decentralized computing platform that allows running smart contracts. This book provides a basic overview of how Ethereum works, its ecosystem, mining process, and the consensus mechanism. It also demonstrates a step-by-step approach for building decentralized applications. This book begins with the very basics of Blockchain technology. Then it dives deep into the Ethereum architecture, framework and tools in its ecosystem. It also provides you an overview of ongoing research on Ethereum, for example, Layer 1 and 2 scaling solution, Stablecoin, ICO/STO/IEO, etc. Next, it explains Solidity language in detail, and provides step-by-step instructions for designing, developing, testing, deploying, and monitoring decentralized applications. In addition, you’ll learn how to use Truffle, Remix, Infura, Metamask, and many other Ethereum technologies. It’ll also help you develop your own cryptocurrency by creating ERC20, and ERC721 smart contracts from scratch. Finally, we explain private blockchains, and you learn how to interact with smart contracts through wallets.

Solidity Fundamentals

In this chapter, we will dive into the details of Solidity, the most popular smart contract programming language. We will look at the features of the Solidity programming language and will provide an overview of Solidity's development tools. We will learn about various Solidity language fundamentals, including the structure of a contract, contract patterns, and exception handling. We also cover smart contract security and best practices.

At the end of this chapter, we will show you a complete example of a real-world smart contract that's been developed in Solidity, and demonstrate how you can functionally test your smart contract.

The following topics will be covered in this chapter:

  • Introducing Solidity
  • Learning the fundamental programming structure in Solidity
  • Understanding inheritance, abstract contracts, and interface
  • Examining smart contract...
