Summary

To summarize this introductory chapter, we began by exploring what a blockchain actually is and understanding how it functions. Then we moved onto setting up our project to create our very own blockchain. We also had a quick overview of all of the topics you'll get to learn about in this book.

In the next chapter, we'll build our blockchain by learning about the constructor function, prototype object, block method, transaction method, and many more important concepts.
