Learn the skills to build a decentralized applications using Ethereum. You'll cover how and why it's used, validation of nodes, mining, network and routing of lightning, tokens, encryption and storage in a decentralized system. This developer's guide is a fantastic resource for anyone wanting to use Ethereum.

How the Lightning Network Helps Blockchains Scale

Blockchain is often being shoehorned into projects it shouldn't be a part of, so it's hard to find out how viable it is long-term, and whether or not it can actually end up being used for something.

A Deep Dive into Cryptography

If you’ve been digging into blockchain platforms, cryptocurrencies and related technologies for a while, you’ll find that there are endless references to Bitcoin. While this is currently the most popular cryptocurrency using blockchain technology, it’s not the only one.

3 Bitcoin Alternatives Compared: Ethereum, Cardano and NEO

Most smart contracts are developed in a high-level programming language. The most popular currently is Solidity , with Vyper hoping to take the throne in the near future.

Compiling and Smart Contracts: ABI Explained

In this article, we’ll go through the process of generating your first Ethereum wallet and sending and receiving ether through the MyEtherWallet (MEW) interface.

Proof of Stake vs Proof of Work

Every complex society has many cases where a big number of players need to reach consensus. The main advantage of such a society is that people can agree and act together on different issues, and can solve more and bigger problems than individuals can do alone.

Ethereum's Casper: Ghostbusting Proof of Stake Problems

In this article, we outline two of the most prominent solutions for decentralized content publication and storage. These two solutions are IPFS (InterPlanetary File System) and Ethereum’s Swarm.

Decentralized Storage and Publication with IPFS and Swarm

This article will show how Ethereum, rather than being just a cryptocurrency or smart contracts platform, is actually developing into a whole ecosystem.

Ethereum Messaging: Explaining Whisper and Status.im

When using various Ethereum blockchain explorers like Etherscan to inspect addresses, you may come across certain addresses which have Transactions , Internal Transactions and Token Transfers . To understand the difference between them, we first have to understand the concept of external and internal addresses on Ethereum.

Ethereum: Internal Transactions &amp; Token Transfers Explained

Since I wrote this post , a lot has changed for BigchainDB and in the blockchain space broadly, so it seemed high time for a revisit and refresh of what effect blockchain can have on one of the more fundamental parts of the traditional computing space: data storage.
