Explore the Beacon chain, Ethereum’s PoS consensus, and the upcoming merge of Eth1 and Eth2, along with the challenges of scaling Ethereum and an overview of L1 and L2 scaling solutions
Ethereum is a blockchain-based, decentralized computing platform that allows the running of smart contracts. This book covers the latest Ethereum tools, frameworks, wallets, and second layers. It also demonstrates setting up and running Decentralized Applications with Ethereum and Smart contracts with end-to-end development experience.
Learn Ethereum 2nd Edition offers a comprehensive overview of the Ethereum ecosystem, covering its concept, mechanism, and decentralized application development. It delves into Ethereum internals, technologies, and tools, including Ethereum 2.0 and Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), gas, and account systems. The book also discusses Ethereum’s transition to proof of stake, L1/L2 scaling solutions, DeFi protocols, and the current marketplace. It explores EVM-compatible blockchains, connectivity techniques, and advanced topics such as sharding, off-chain scaling, DAOs, Metaverse, and NFTs.
By the end of this book, you will not only be able to learn Ethereum basic and advanced topics with the latest developments but also to write smart contracts and develop, test, and deploy Dapps using various tools, wallets, and frameworks.
This book is for blockchain developers and architects who want to learn the Ethereum blockchain fundamentals and get started with building real-world decentralized applications using Solidity. The book doesn’t need you to have prior knowledge of Ethereum. You can learn Ethereum from scratch by using this book. However, knowledge of an object-oriented programming language such as JavaScript will be useful but not mandatory.
