Data Science for Web3

Where Data and Web3 Meet

As we assume no prior knowledge of data or blockchain, this chapter introduces the basic concepts of both topics. A good understanding of these concepts is essential to tackle Web3 data science projects, as we will refer to them. A Web3 data science project tries to solve a business problem or unlock new value with data; it is an example of applied science. It has two main components, the data science ingredients and the blockchain ingredients, which we will cover in this chapter.

In the Exploring the data ingredients section, we will analyze the concept of data science, available data tools, and the general steps we will follow, and provide a gentle practical introduction to Python. In the Understanding the blockchain ingredients section, we will cover what blockchain is, its main characteristics, and why it is called the internet of value.

In the final part of this chapter, we will dive into some industry concepts and how to use them. We will also analyze challenges related to the quality and standardization of data and concepts, respectively. Lastly, we will briefly review the concept of APIs and describe the ones that we will be using throughout the book.

In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:

  • What is a business data science project?
  • What are data ingredients?
  • Introducing the blockchain ingredients
  • Approaching relevant industry metrics
  • The challenges with data quality and standards
  • Classifying the APIs

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.
