Description

Introduction

Ethereum is a decentralized blockchain platform that allows developers to build smart contracts and decentralized applications (DApps). It operates on a distributed network where transactions are verified without a central authority. Smart contracts are self-executing programs that run automatically when predefined conditions are met. This training introduces Ethereum architecture, Solidity programming, and blockchain development tools. In addition, learners gain exposure to real-world decentralized application use cases.

Learner Prerequisites

• Basic understanding of blockchain concepts
• Familiarity with programming languages like JavaScript or Python
• Awareness of fundamental cryptography concepts
• Basic knowledge of data structures and algorithms
• Interest in decentralized systems and web technologies
