Sample Course Content

Welcome to Ethereum Fundamentals

Discover how Ethereum expands the blockchain concept beyond cryptocurrency to create a world computer capable of running decentralized applications.

Ethereum Defined

Ethereum is a decentralized, open-source blockchain platform that enables the creation and execution of smart contracts and decentralized applications (dApps). Unlike Bitcoin, which was primarily designed as a digital currency, Ethereum was built as a programmable blockchain that allows developers to build and deploy applications on its network.

Key Characteristics

Programmable

Supports complex logic through smart contracts

Decentralized

Runs on a global network of computers

Secure

Uses cryptography to protect transactions and data

Open

Anyone can build on the platform

Exploring Ethereum's Inner Workings

Delve into the technical infrastructure that makes Ethereum's programmable blockchain possible, from its core architecture to the execution environment.

Ethereum's Foundation

At its core, Ethereum is a blockchain—a distributed ledger that records transactions across many computers. Like Bitcoin, it uses cryptographic techniques to secure transactions and control the creation of new units. However, Ethereum's blockchain is designed to store more than just transaction records; it can store and execute code.

Key Characteristics of Ethereum's Blockchain:

Block Structure - Contains transactions, state information, and code execution results
State-based - Maintains the current state of all accounts and contracts
Blocks are Linked - Each block references the previous block's hash
Consensus-driven - Network participants agree on the state of the blockchain
