Preface

Ethereum is one of the most commonly used platforms for building blockchain applications. It's a decentralized platform for applications that can run exactly as programmed without being affected by fraud, censorship, or third-party interference.

This book will give you a deep understanding of how blockchains work so that you can discover the entire ecosystem, core components, and implementations. You will get started by learning how to configure and work with various Ethereum protocols for developing dApps. Next, you will learn how to code and create powerful smart contracts that scale with Solidity and Vyper. You will then explore the building blocks of dApps architecture and gain insights into creating your own dApp through a variety of real-world examples. The book will even explain how to deploy your apps on multiple Ethereum instances with the required best practices and techniques. The next few chapters will delve into advanced topics such as building advanced smart contracts and multi-page frontends using Ethereum. You will also learn how to implement machine learning techniques to build decentralized autonomous applications, in addition to several use cases across a variety of domains such as social media and e-commerce.

By the end of this book, you will have the expertise you need to build decentralized autonomous applications confidently.
