Dear Students,
This course includes the basics you need to start your smart contract development journey on any featured platform like
Ethereum
Cardano
Binance
Internet Computer
Algorand
Avalanche
This course also introduces you to project integrations, smart contracts integration, and DAPP development.
A "smart contract" is simply a program or protocol that runs on a blockchain. It's a collection of code (its functions) and data (its state) that resides at a specific address on the blockchain. It can be integrated, optimized, and built together for making decentralized applications.
Anyone can write a smart contract and deploy it to the network. You just need to learn how to code in a smart contract language and have enough credits to deploy your contract. Deploying a smart contract on a network is technically a transaction carried on web3.
Decentralized applications have been popularised by distributed ledger technologies (DLT), such as the Ethereum blockchain, on which DApps are built.
The trustless and transparent nature of DApps has led to greater developments in the utilization of these features within the decentralized finance (DeFi) space.
DApps are divided into 17 categories: exchanges, games, finance, gambling, development, storage, high-risk, wallet, governance, property, identity, media, social, security, energy, insurance, and health.
