So far in this book, we've looked at the fundamental concepts of blockchain technology, exploring topics such as cryptography and decentralized networking. We've also created a simple blockchain application and made ourselves familiar with the transactions used in the decentralized cryptocurrency application. Although the blockchain applications we created gave us an overview of blockchain technology, we haven't yet looked at any use cases other than those in cryptocurrency that require a decentralized network. By diving into blockchain, we'll introduce and become familiar with the blockchain framework, which will end with us building a blockchain application by constructing the use case featured.
In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:
- The blockchain platform, specifically:
- Why did we choose to go...
