Blockchain is revolutionizing how we think about trust, transparency, and decentralization. This course introduces learners to blockchain development with a focus on smart contracts and decentralized applications (dApps).

We begin with a solid grounding in blockchain fundamentals—how distributed ledgers work, consensus mechanisms, and the architecture of popular blockchains like Ethereum. Learners then dive into Solidity, the primary language used for writing smart contracts, and use tools like Truffle, Hardhat, and Remix IDE for development and testing.

The course guides students through building and deploying their own smart contracts, creating decentralized apps with Web3.js, and integrating blockchain with front-end frameworks. Projects include a decentralized voting system, a basic crypto wallet, and an NFT minting platform.

Special emphasis is placed on security best practices, gas optimization, and understanding common vulnerabilities. By the end of the course, learners will have the ability to develop blockchain-powered solutions and understand the economic and legal considerations surrounding decentralized finance (DeFi) and NFTs.

This course is ideal for web developers, fintech innovators, and anyone looking to enter the rapidly expanding world of Web3.
