Getting started with Ethereum : a step-by-step guide to becoming a blockchain developer / by Bauer, Davi Pedro,author.;
Get started with blockchain development with this step-by-step guide. This book takes you all the way from installing requisite software through writing, testing, and deploying smart contracts. Getting Started with Ethereum delves into technologies most closely associated with Ethereum, such as IPFS, Filecoin, ENS, Chainlink, Truffle, Ganache, OpenZeppelin, Pinata, Fleek, Infura, Metamask, and Opensea. Author Davi Bauer walks you through project creation, how to compile projects and contracts, configure networks, and deploy smart contracts on blockchains. He then covers smart contracts, including deploying and verifying them. This book approaches blockchain in a way that allows you to focus on the topic that most interests you, covering Ethereum-related technologies broadly and not just focusing on Solidity. This hands-on guide offers a practical rather than conceptual approach get you coding. Upon completing this book, you will be able to confidently develop and deploy smart contracts on blockchains. Source code can be found at https://github.com/Apress/getting-started-ethereum. What You Will Learn Understand tokenization of assets, including NFTs, using Ethereum Host censorship-resistant applications using IPFS Deploy on second-layer blockchains using Polygon Deploy smart contracts with multiple technologies around Ethereum Who Is This Book For Off-chain developers who want to migrate to on-chain development starting with the Ethereum blockchain and the technologies around it.

Mastering crypto assets : investing in Bitcoin, ethereum, and beyond / by Leinweber, Martin,author.(CARDINAL)885746; Willig, Jörg,author.(CARDINAL)885747; Schoenfeld, Steven A.,author.(CARDINAL)884216;
Acknowledgments -- Preface -- Chapter 1: Introduction -- Chapter 2: Bitcoin-a brief history -- Chapter 3: the taxonomy of crypto assets -- Chapter 4: valuation of crypto assets -- Chapter 5: cryptos as an asset class -- Chapter 6: asset allocation -- Chapter 7: from staking to earning -- Chapter 8: index investments -- Chapter 9: outlook: navigating the future - the expansive potential of digital assets -- About the authors -- Index."The world has gone from a singular focus on Bitcoin to a much wider adoption of DeFi apps, distributed computing platforms, NFTs etc. As with the equity markets, categorization of sub asset groupings into sectors and more recently themes are important in the institutional adoptions of diverse asset classes. According to the data provider CoinMarketCap, there are over 13,000 digital assets, which leads to increasing options as well as confusion for investors. Are there really so many tokens required in order to facilitate payments? How should investors choose amongst the various options? How should investors evaluate and monitor their choices? The answers are not trivial. As software, these tokens perform different functions and their functions and use cases can change over time. To simplify the answers, investors increasingly look at the actual usage and underlying microeconomics of various networks and trading activity around a token's unique drivers of growth. Grouping and categorizing tokens is an important part to structuring optimal investment decisions. MV Index Solutions (MVIS) has developed a classification scheme for digital assets and provides category indices that allows users to measure, benchmark and capture the performance and characteristics of targeted categories within the digital assets, making digital assets more digestible to traditional finance investors while giving crypto native funds additional benchmarking capabilities."--

Proof of stake : the making of Ethereum, and the philosophy of blockchains / by Buterin, Vitalik,author.; Schneider, Nathan,1984-editor.(CARDINAL)401565;
Introduction / by Nathan Schneider -- Markets, institutions, and currencies -- a new method of social incentivization -- Ethereum : a next-generation cryptocurrency and decentralized application platform -- Self-enforcing contracts and factum law -- On silos -- Superrationality and DAOs -- The value of blockchain technology -- Why cryptoeconomics and X-risk researchers should listen to each other more -- A proof-of-stake design philosophy -- The meaning of decentralization -- Notes on blockchain governance -- On collusion -- On free speech -- Control as liability -- Christmas special -- Credible neutrality as a guiding principle -- Coordination, good and bad -- Prediction markets : tales from the election -- The most important scarce resource is legitimacy -- Against overuse of the Gini coefficient -- Moving beyond coin-voting governance -- Trust models -- Crypto cities -- Soulbound."After Ethereum creator Vitalik Buterin dropped out of college and launched Bitcoin Magazine, he wrote the Ethereum white paper, which proposed an open source system that would take what Bitcoin did for money and do it for everything else: contracts, social networks, and sharing economies. Now, less than a decade later, his idea is valued at about half a trillion dollars, and it is the foundation for the weird new world of NFT artworks, virtual real estate, and decentralized autonomous organizations. Understanding and engaging with Buterin's ideas will be of growing importance as the consequences of his invention continue to unfold and inspire debate worldwide. These writings, collected from his essays before and during the rise of Ethereum, reveal Buterin to be a vivid and imaginative writer, and this edition includes context from media studies scholar Nathan Schneider. While many around him were focused on seeing the value of their tokens rise, Buterin was working through the problems and possibilitiesof crafting an Internet-native world"--

Think blockchain : a student's guide to blockchain's evolution from bitcoin, ethereum, hyperledger to Web3 / by Cuomo, Jerry,Author(DLC)no2019046839;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 281-288).Jerry Cuomo's unique story-telling style along with accompanying illustrations makes it a breeze to be an A+ student in his virtual blockchain class. "Think Blockchain" provides an entertaining and balanced education of blockchain's evolution from Bitcoin, Ethereum, Hyperledger, to the foundation of our Web3 future. "Think Blockchain" combines both an aspirational and pragmatic overview of blockchain technology, its core capabilities, and the value they generate from a technical and business perspective. It describes various real-world examples, implementations, and approaches, with industry-specific and cross-industry use cases. Developers will benefit from this book as several of the chapters are technical in nature, some even including simple coding exercises to further crystalize topics like blocks, chains, hashing, mining, smart contracts, and tokens. Business leaders will equally benefit and are provided with a basis for understanding and evaluating how blockchain technology can transform their organization and business processes. Cuomo encourages business leaders to look over the simple coding examples. They won't bite and might better illustrate what makes blockchain tick. Business or technical, the topics covered in this book will prove valuable to just about anyone curious and ready to become a scholar of blockchain. Royalties from this book are being donated to the American Cancer Society.

Crypto decrypted : debunking myths, understanding breakthroughs, and building foundations for investing in digital assets / by Ryan, Jake(Financial advisor),author.(CARDINAL)873913; Diorio, James M.,Jr.,author.(CARDINAL)872671;
"What are is the big breakthrough? It's called the Merge and its purpose is to transform Ethereum, which is the most-used blockchain and powers Ether, the second-largest cryptocurrency, with a $202 billion market cap. Ethereum also hosts numerous decentralized applications (dApps) and decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols and establishes the authenticity of millions of non-fungible tokens (NFTs). This means the outcome of the merge will affect not just the Ethereum blockchain, but a wide constellation of products and services that rely upon it. And given Ethereum's size and influence, the fate of the merge is likely to have a ripple effect on the broader crypto industry. The switch from proof of work to proof of stake will reduce overall energy consumption of Ethereum by 99.9% or more. That's game changing. Also, on Ethereum's road map are four other phases happening in parallel that developers are calling the "surge, verge, purge, and splurge"--all of which aim to make Ethereum much faster, safer, and more decentralized. At the end of this road map, Ethereum will be able to process 100,000 transactions per second. Again, this speed and scale may alter the world of financial services"--
