Ethereum Blockchain Smart Contract Programming with Solidity beginners course
No prior experience necessary. You will learn to design and issue your own cryptocurrency. We delve into the world of smart contracts and specifically discuss the Ethereum blockchain. A smart contract is the evolution of cryptocurrency to encompass logical execution of code based on conditions and events of the universe as perceived by the blockchain network. As a cryptocurrency can be expressed as a smart contract, the Ethereum network can be a platform for minting new algorithmically controlled currencies without deploying a entirely new blockchain. Smart contracts on the Ethereum network are programmed natively in Solidity. We address practical issues with smart contracts and how the blockchain ecosystem is continually evolving to meet the needs of the community.

Naming systems are an important component of any networked information system. It’s difficult to imagine how the Internet could have been adopted by the masses had it not been for the Domain Name System, which translates machine-readable IP addresses into human-readable domain names. Blockchains, with their long and complex address formats, suffer from a similar problem. One might think a solution would be to apply the same naming system architecture we have for the public Internet to public blockchains. But DNS, in the eyes of many, is a largely flawed system. Centrally controlled by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), Internet domain names are vulnerable to censorship and barriers to entry are kept artificially high ?'” registering a new Top Level Domain (ex: .epicenter) costs hundreds of thousands of dollars.
We’re joined by Alex Van de Sande and Nick Johnson to discuss their approach to creating an open, secure and decentralized naming system for the Ethereum Network. The Ethereum Naming System (ENS) allows users to register .eth domain names, which can be used in supporting Ethereum wallets and clients. Names are reserved by placing a deposit in a smart contract and can be mapped to any Ethereum addresses. So rather than sending funds to 0x8cd…0935, one would simply need to type a memorable name like epicenter.eth into their wallet. Backed by the Ethereum Foundation, ENS will likely become the defacto standard for name registration in Ethereum.
