It also explores the applications of Ethereum in real-world scenarios and provides a step-by-step guide to deploying a smart contract using Solidity.
🔑 Decentralized applications (dApps) replace centralized web applications by fetching data from a decentralized blockchain network.
💡 dApps are open source, use a public blockchain token, and allow for direct interaction between end users and providers.
🔒 Decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs) operate in a decentralized and democratized manner, making decisions using smart contracts and voting systems.
💰 Ethereum is widely used for building smart contracts, enabling applications like voting systems, banking, and supply chain tracking.
🔐 Smart contracts eliminate the need for intermediaries, automate contract execution, and provide transparency, security, and cost savings.
💻 Solidity is a high-level programming language used for implementing smart contracts on Ethereum.
🗳️ Blockchain-based voting systems eliminate voting malpractices and provide transparency, traceability, and fairness.
💸 Smart contracts can be used to issue digital tokens, create a tradable currency or asset, and enable crowdfunding with predefined conditions.
02:16:00 Learn about the basics of Bitcoin, including how transactions are verified through mining and the advantages of using blockchain technology. Explore different types of wallets for storing cryptocurrencies.
🔑 Blockchain allows for efficient tracking of transactions through smart contracts.
⛏️ Bitcoin mining is the process of verifying transactions and adding them to the blockchain.
💼 Blockchain wallets provide secure and decentralized management of cryptocurrencies.
