This book provides a comprehensive introduction to blockchain and
distributed ledger technology. Intended as an applied guide for
hands-on practitioners, the book includes detailed examples and
in-depth explanations of how to build and run a blockchain from
scratch. Through its conceptual background and hands-on exercises,
this book allows students, teachers and crypto enthusiasts to
launch their first blockchain while assuming prior knowledge of the
underlying technology. How do I build a blockchain? How do I mint a
cryptocurrency? How do I write a smart contract? How do I launch an
initial coin offering (ICO)? These are some of questions this book
answers. Starting by outlining the beginnings and development of
early cryptocurrencies, it provides the conceptual foundations
required to engineer secure software that interacts with both
public and private ledgers. The topics covered include consensus
algorithms, mining and decentralization, and many more. "This is a
one-of-a-kind book on Blockchain technology. The authors achieved
the perfect balance between the breadth of topics and the depth of
technical discussion. But the real gem is the set of carefully
curated hands-on exercises that guide the reader through the
process of building a Blockchain right from Chapter 1." Volodymyr
Babich, Professor of Operations and Information Management,
McDonough School of Business, Georgetown University "An excellent
introduction of DLT technology for a non-technical audience. The
book is replete with examples and exercises, which greatly
facilitate the learning of the underlying processes of blockchain
technology for all, from students to entrepreneurs." Serguei
Netessine, Dhirubhai Ambani Professor of Innovation and
Entrepreneurship, The Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania
"Whether you want to start from scratch or deepen your blockchain
knowledge about the latest developments, this book is an essential
reference. Through clear explanations and practical code examples,
the authors take you on a progressive journey to discover the
technology foundations and build your own blockchain. From an
operations perspective, you can learn the principles behind the
distributed ledger technology relevant for transitioning towards
blockchain-enabled supply chains. Reading this book, you'll get
inspired, be able to assess the applicability of blockchain to
supply chain operations, and learn from best practices recognized
in real-world examples." Ralf W. Seifert, Professor of Technology
and Operations Management at EPFL and Professor of Operations
Management at IMD
