Description
In an era of rapid technological advancements, blockchain technology has emerged as a groundbreaking solution for decentralized trust and immutable record-keeping. Frameworks for Blockchain Standards, Tools, Testbeds, and Platforms delves into the intricate world of blockchain, offering a comprehensive exploration of its various dimensions. At its core, blockchain disrupts the traditional notion of a centralized trusted authority, instead relying on multiple sources of trust and algorithmic consensus for validation. This handbook elucidates the transformative power of blockchain, examining its capacity to offer enduring records that resist modification by trusted or untrusted sources. The concept of mining, akin to decentralized peer review, is demystified in the context of the Bitcoin protocol, which paved the way for subsequent advancements like Ethereum—a decentralized, open-source platform enabling a diverse array of blockchain applications.
This book serves as an indispensable guide for various stakeholders, including researchers, academicians, industry practitioners, policy makers, corporate executives, venture capitalists, and entrepreneurs. With its inclusive approach, the book also benefits those indirectly involved in blockchain and its applications. It is equally valuable for undergraduate, graduate, and research-level students seeking to explore the transformative potential of blockchain technology.
