Blockchain Basics Offered By University at Buffalo The State University of New York
This first course in the Blockchain specialization provides a general introduction of the key ideas of blockchain technology, starting with the Bitcoin protocol and then moving on to the Ethereum protocol, laying the groundwork for designing applications and programming. You'll learn how to set up nodes on your own Ethereum blockchain, create accounts, unlock accounts, mine, transact, move Ethers, and check account balances.
The decentralized peer-to-peer network, an immutable distributed ledger, and the trust paradigm that defines a blockchain will all be covered. Blockchain Basics Offered By University at Buffalo The State University of New York will teach you how to describe the fundamental components of a blockchain (transactions, blocks, block headers, and the chain), as well as how to explain its operations (verification, validation, and consensus model), underlying algorithms, and trust fundamentals (hard fork and soft fork).Two additional specialized courses, Smart Contracts and Decentralized Applications, expand on the hashing and cryptography foundations required for blockchain development (Dapps). To establish an Ethereum test chain and operate on it, you'll need a virtual machine image designed specifically for this course. This hands-on project will teach you how a blockchain works, including how transactions, blocks, and mining function. Videos, demos, and hands-on exercises are used to convey key topics
