Overview
Blockchain development is the process of building decentralized digital systems using distributed ledger technology. It involves creating secure, transparent, and immutable applications that operate without centralized control.
Key Components
- Blockchain Protocols: Ethereum, Solana, Polygon, Avalanche
- Smart Contracts: Self-executing agreements encoded on-chain
- Consensus Mechanisms: Proof of Work (PoW), Proof of Stake (PoS), etc.
- Decentralized Storage: IPFS, Arweave, and similar systems
Use Cases
- Decentralized finance (DeFi)
- Supply chain transparency
- Voting systems
- Digital identity
- NFT platforms and marketplaces
Development Considerations
- Security and immutability requirements
- Gas optimization and cost efficiency
- Compliance and legal frameworks (e.g., KYC/AML)
- Frontend/backend integration with smart contracts
