The next major segment of the book discusses the key concepts and algorithms required to develop blockchain and cryptocurrency applications. There are expositions on blockchain construction, Merkle trees, peer-to-peer networks, cryptocurrency addresses, transactions, and mining. Yoüll take a deep dive into the formation of consensus in distributed systems.
In this book yoüll develop a fully functional cryptocurrency called Helium from scratch in Python. The language requirements are modest since it is presumed that most readers will not be acquainted with Python. The entire source code and unit test code is included in this book.
Practical Blockchains and Cryptocurrencies interleaves theory and Helium program code chapters in order to demonstrate the practical application of theory in working Helium program code.
What You Will Learn
Gain the mathematical foundations as well as the concepts and algorithms of blockchains and cryptocurrencies
Implement a cryptocurrency from scratch in Python
Master the design of distributed blockchain applications
Who This Book Is For
Anyone interested in creating cryptocurrency and blockchain applications
