Summary:

Understand the Ethereum platform to build distributed applications that are secured and decentralized using blockchain technology Key Features Build your own decentralized applications using real-world blockchain examples Implement Ethereum for building smart contracts and cryptocurrency applications with easy-to-follow projects Enhance your application security with blockchain Book Description 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. What you will learn Develop your ideas fast and efficiently using the Ethereum blockchain Make writing and deploying smart contracts easy and manageable Work with private data in blockchain applications Handle large files in blockchain applications Ensure your decentralized applications are safe Explore how Ethereum development frameworks work Create your own cryptocurrency or token on the Ethereum blockchain Make sure your cryptocurrency is ERC20-compliant to launch an ICO Who this book is for This book is for individuals who want to build decentralized applications using blockchain technology and the power of Ethereum from scratch. Some prior knowledge of JavaScript is required, since most examples use a web frontend.
