Overview of this book

Publisher's Note: This edition from 2018 is outdated and does not cover the latest insights on consensus algorithms, Ethereum 2.0, tokenization, and enterprise blockchains. A new and updated edition of this book that includes all the newest developments and improvements in Blockchain including the above topics is now available. A blockchain is a distributed ledger that is replicated across multiple nodes and enables immutable, transparent and cryptographically secure record-keeping of transactions. The blockchain technology is the backbone of cryptocurrencies, and it has applications in finance, government, media and almost all other industries. Mastering Blockchain, Second Edition has been thoroughly updated and revised to provide a detailed description of this leading technology and its implementation in the real world. This book begins with the technical foundations of blockchain technology, teaching you the fundamentals of distributed systems, cryptography and how it keeps data secure. You will learn about the mechanisms behind cryptocurrencies and how to develop applications using Ethereum, a decentralized virtual machine. You will also explore different other blockchain solutions and get an introduction to business blockchain frameworks under Hyperledger, a collaborative effort for the advancement of blockchain technologies hosted by the Linux Foundation. You will also be shown how to implement blockchain solutions beyond currencies, Internet of Things with blockchain, blockchain scalability, and the future scope of this fascinating and powerful technology.

Projects under Hyperledger

There are two categories of projects under Hyperledger. The first is blockchain projects and the second category is relevant tools or modules that support these blockchains.

Currently, there are five blockchain framework projects under the Hyperledger umbrella: Fabric, Sawtooth Lake, Iroha, Burrow, and Indy. Under modules, there are the Hyperledger Cello, Hyperledger Composer, Hyperledger Explorer, and Hyperledger Quilt. The Hyperledger project currently has more than 200-member organizations and is very active with many contributors, with regular meet-ups and talks organized around the globe.

A brief introduction of all these projects follows, after which we will see more details around the design, architecture, and implementation of Fabric and Sawtooth Lake.
