The blockchain is a distributed ledger that stores information in a way that makes it extremely difficult, if not impossible, for the system to be altered, hacked, or manipulated. A distributed ledger is what a blockchain is. This ledger copies and distributes transactions throughout the network of computers that are part of the blockchain. A data structure known as blockchain has the potential to take the shape of an expanding list of information blocks. Because the knowledge blocks are interconnected, more recent blocks cannot be withdrawn or changed after they have been added. The decentralized digital currency Bitcoin relies on the blockchain technology for its operations. A distributed database that contains records of all transactions or digital activities that have been carried out and shared among parties that are participating is called a blockchain. Each transaction is checked by the system's users who make up the bulk of its members. It includes each and every record of each transaction in its entirety. The most widely used example of a blockchain technology is the cryptocurrency known as Bitcoin. In 2008, a person or group of people going by the name "Satoshi Nakamoto" issued a white paper titled "BitCoin: A peer-to-peer electronic cash system." This was the first time that the Blockchain Technology was brought to public attention. This new technology, known as blockchain, logs transactions in a digital ledger that is shared across the network. Because of this, the ledger cannot be altered in any way. Transactions involving anything of value, like as real estate, automobiles, and so on, may be recorded on the blockchain. Bitcoin is perhaps the most well-known application of Blockchain technology. Bitcoin is a form of cryptocurrency that may be used for the purchase and sale of digital assets over the internet. For two parties to successfully carry out transactions via the internet, Bitcoin relies on cryptographic evidence rather than the confidence of a third party. A unique cryptographic signature is used to secure each transaction.

Blockchain technology is bringing together concepts and operations from several fields, including computing, communications networks, cryptography, and has broad implications and consequences thus encompassing a wide variety of domains and issues, including Network Science, computer science, economics, law, geography, etc. The aim of the paper is to provide a synthetic sketch of issues raised by the development of Blockchains and Cryptocurrencies, these issues are mainly presented through the link between on one hand the technological aspects, i.e. involved technologies and networks structures, and on the other hand the issues raised from applications to implications. We believe the link is a two-sided one. The goal is that it may contribute facilitating bridges between research areas.

Everybody wants to get on the train as soon as it arrives, so they're scrambling to buy a ticket as soon as possible. Technology, finance, politics, and the social and economic margins of the digital world have not ceased to deliver surprising packages that provide value and novelty, as well as the promise of a future utopian society. The term "cryptocurrency" is no longer a mysterious, esoteric term. A decentralized, autonomous financial system is quickly becoming the norm in almost every part of the world because of the widespread adoption of the idea of a decentralized autonomous financial system. The number of active cryptocurrency transactions and users has grown exponentially over the past few years, and the year 2021/22 was chosen as a significant part of this analysis. Bitcoin's introduction in 2009 has sparked a slew of negative headlines about crypto, ranging from heavy criticism of its working principle to random government jabs to knock it off its feet and out of the global economy to massive crypto meltdowns. Although it has stood the test of time, it continues to grow, and now even children are familiar with the term "cryptocurrency." Cryptocurrency is constantly evolving new ways to use its underlying technology—the blockchain—originally designed for crypto trading. Still, the innovation of NFTs has changed all of that. All these talks about NFTs have you scratching your head and wondering what all the fuss is all about. Astonishing sums of money are being paid for these NFTs in the six-figures and even the eight-figure range! This is not a fairy tale, my dear friends. I'm confident that after reading this e-book, the scales will fall from your eyes, and you will begin to see all the crazy good opportunities that are just out there in the digital world waiting for you to make a move.

This book introduces you to the world of Blockchain with an interesting AI perspective to the Blockchain, and with detailed associated videos to make concepts easier to understand. This book provides you with hands-on technical details to guide you to create your own smart contracts, NFTs, Tokens, Flash-loan algorithms, and AI and Machine learning algorithms. This book is aimed at newcomers to the concept of Blockchain, enthusiasts, explorists, who would like to learn about the concepts of Blockchain in simple terms, with easy to understand stories.

The Story of Blockchain Solidity Programming Create your own tokens (coins) Create your own NFTs Web3 on node.js Web3 using python AI perspective to Blockchain Flash Loans Honestly speaking, this book is meant for those “lazy” engineers, aspiring blockchain, solidity developers, Web3 engineers, experienced IT professionals in other fields, who like the authors hate reading through lengthy books with several hundreds of pages of mathematical models and equations to even getting started with Blockchain. Many of us are looking for a book with not more than 170-180 pages to gain a very fundamental understanding of the Blockchain ecosystems, create your own contracts, NFTs. There are many books, articles, guides and documents published on Blockchain, and most of them either focus on smart contracts solely, or web3 reference books and most often they tend to be very lengthy, spanning several hundred pages. Of-course, they are aimed at serving an exhaustive content for readers to get a deep understanding on the subjects. As you go through the book, you will learn the concepts of Blockchain with simply explained stories, use cases for each technology and then set up your development technical environment to dive deeper in Solidity, Web3js, Web3py, Flash loans, Tokens, NFTs and last but not the least, an AI perspective to the blockchain.
