Ethereum Overview

Origin of Ethereum: 

At Some point Blockchain technology became very popular. One Blockchain per Application. It's very difficult to create our own blockchain for every new applications. Ethereum concept came here, it's aim to create a single blockchain for that will allow to create any kind of new applications on top of it.


 

History of Ethereum:

2013 - Ethereum whitepaper by Vitalik buterin 
2014 - Ethereum Development
2015 - Olympic Release Eth network was created
2020 - Boom in DeFi Activities
2022 - The Merge Upgrade of Execution layer

Overview:

Ethereum Projects:

  • AUGUR - Prediction Market
  • OPENSEA - digital collectibles
  • UNISWAP - Assets Exchange
  • COMPOUND - Leading platform

Decentralized Application:

Ethereum allows us to build new applications called Decentralized Applications. Just as regular applications, they run on multiple machines. But what differs them is that these machines are not owned by single group or organization. They are owned by different people in different organizations, and anybody across the world can provide resources for the network.

Why Decentralized Apps?

  1. Reliable - No single point of failure, continues to run even if some machines goes down.
  2. Secure - code and data are stored in cryptographic form.
  3. Transparent - Anyone can able to see the details of the state of the network.

DApps real world examples:

  1. Voting - Online voting application
  2.  Legal Agreements - self executing the legal agreements, do not require lawyers, anyone can verify whether the agreements was executing exactly the same.
  3. DeFi -  Decentralized Finance
  4. Digital Ownership

Why learn Ethereum?

  • One of the most In-demand skills.
  • Multi-billion dollar industry.
  • Big developer community - developers are improving the network constantly.
  • Allows us to create DApps.

Crypto ED25519 Signing and Verifying using Golang

The Edwards-curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) is used to create a digital signature using an enhancement of the Schnorr signature with Twisted Edwards curves. Overall it is faster that many other digital signature methods, and is strong for security. One example of ECDSA is Ed25519, and which is based on Curve 25519. It generates a 64-byte signature value of (R,s), and has 32-byte values for the public and the private keys. Example : package main import ( "crypto/ed25519" "crypto/rand" "encoding/hex" "fmt" "log" ) func main() { publickey, privatekey, err := ed25519.GenerateKey(rand.Reader) if err != nil { fmt.Println("cannot generate ecdsa keys") log.Fatal(err) } msg := "hello" signedBytes := ed25519.Sign(privatekey, []byte(msg)) fmt.Println("Signed Message :", hex.EncodeToString(signedBytes)) if !ed25519.Verify(publickey, []byte(msg), signedBytes) { fmt.Println("ver...

Crypto RSA Signing and Verification in Golang

  RSA [Rivest-shamir-Adleman] encryption is one of the most widely used algorithms for secure data encryption. Signing and Verification:   RSA works by generating form of key pair of private and public keys. For Signing:  we need to provide some inputs,  A random reader used for generating random bits because if we provide the same input, it doesn't give the same output as last time. Before signing, we need to hash our message. we also need to provide which hash function is used for message hashing. Finally, private key.  For Verifying: we need to provide some inputs,  hash of our message. which hash function is used for message hashing while signing. Finally, public key and signature what we obtained while signing.  Example: package main import ( "crypto" "crypto/rand" "crypto/rsa" "crypto/sha256" "encoding/hex" "fmt" "log" ) func main() { privatekey, publickey := GenerateRsaKeys() message := ...

Smart contract with remix IDE and Ganache

  Previous Topic:  Simple transaction with ganache using Golang In the Previous topic, we learned how to do transaction with ganache using Golang. Now, we will learn what is smart contract and how to write smart contract and how to deploy it and how to call the contract using remix. To learn what is smart contract, we already write a blog about that. Please feel free to take a look.  Ethereum Smart contract . For beginners, use the Remix IDE for learning smart contract and understand how it works. Then we will use Truffle framework. REMIX:  Remix IDE Link Remix will provide a default workspace for developing smart contract. Now you can able to create a new file and start writing contracts, compile it with solidity compiler and deploy that contract and test the contracts. Simple Smart Contract: First create new file called store.sol  and start writing a simple contract. Contract Functionality: Store a record using SetRecord method. View the latest record . [reco...
