In this chapter, we discussed the Ethereum state transition function, the genesis block, and transaction receipts. We also discussed the transaction sub state. In addition to these topics, we discussed Ethereum block validation and the steps involved in the same as discussed in the Ethereum Yellow paper. Finally, we briefly discussed a few of the disadvantages of using an Ethereum-based token.
In the next chapter, we will discuss Decentralized Applications, and we will learn how to create a DApp, and how to publish one. We will also discuss the future of DApp and its effects on its users.
