You will start with a historical context to financial capital markets when Bitcoin was invented, followed by mining protocols, the need for consensus, hardware mining, etc. Next, a formal introduction to blockchain is provided covering transaction workflow, role of decentralized network, and payment verification. Then, we dive deep into a different implementation of a blockchain: Ethereum. The main technical features, such as Ethereum Virtual Machine, are presentedalong with the smart contract programming language, Solidity.In this second section, you will look at some modern use cases for blockchain from a decentralized autonomous organization, high-performance computing in Ethereum and off-grid computations, and healthcare and scientific discovery. The final section of the book looks toward the future of blockchain. This is followed by chapters covering the rise of consortia in the blockchain world, the Hyperledger project, particularly the updates since 2018, and a chapter on educational blockchain games. This is followed by updates to EOS.IO, Chain Core, and Quorum, ICOs and a look at the major changes to financial markets brought about by blockchain and decentralized networks.<div> What You Will Learn<ul><li> Get an overview of the popular games employed to teach the basic concepts of blockchain and decentralized networks</li><li>Be familiar with the rise of blockchain consortiums as well as updates to Hyperledger Project, 2020</li><li>Find out about cloud blockchains, including Microsoft Azure and Amazon Webservices, and how to set up test environments</li><li>Study machine learning integration in the blockchain and the role of smart contracts</li></ul> Who This Book Is ForBlockchain developers interested in keeping up with the newest updates and students looking for a broad overview of this vast ecosystem, plus business executives who want to make informed product decisions about including blockchain as well as policy makers who want a better understanding of the current use cases</div>
