Blockchain Engineering MasterTrack

Examine token standards for interchangeable and nonfungible assets, highlighting fungible tokens on Ethereum-like interfaces and NFT examples like CryptoPunks, plus BEP-20 tokens and smart contracts in DeFi.

Learn how to structure a Solidity contract, declare state variables in storage, implement public functions and modifiers, and define events, structs, and enums to model data.

Explore an online playground for JavaScript and React to practice with boilerplate code, select scripts to try, and view demos to learn the basics of coding.

Explore blockchain backend development with APIs, generate API keys, and learn to send transactions via Ethereum API, guided by tutorials and documentation, while managing projects from the dashboard.

Learn blockchain analytics by inspecting live block data, including price, market cap, difficulty, and median gas price, plus transparent transactions, mining pools, and token transfers across explorers.

Learn how to run a personal blockchain node, including prerequisites, software setup, hardware considerations, and how node operation supports privacy, security, censorship resistance, and decentralized participation.

Learn how to install Node.js and npm, and manage packages across Windows and other platforms. Explore running basic Node.js programs and understanding package management and dependencies.

learn how to install node.js dependencies for blockchain engineering, access packages via ports, and configure a virtual studio 2019 workload.

Learn standards for blockchain smart contracts, build basic contracts, and deploy customized tokens using governance interfaces, security utilities, and Remix with the Solidity compiler.

Discover NFT management and token creation on Enjin, learn to create a project, upload an image option, link your ballot, and grow tokens into an ecosystem.

Explore how to set up and use Truffle and Hardhat, the blockchain development and testing frameworks, to install, initialize a new project, compile contracts, and manage migrations.

Hyperledger Fabric fundamentals, including docker images, sample network deployment, and understanding network components, then package and deploy chaincode to a channel with JavaScript dependencies.

Create a new ERC20 token contract, define its name, symbol, and decimals, and deploy it on a test network with block confirmations.

Deploy a sample ERC20 token on Binance by compiling and applying the contract, then use the interface to approve transfers, adjust amounts, and manage approvals with a 4.49 USD fee.

Define a token supply with a constructor and automate token distribution using a conditional statement. Explore the fungible token standard, token IDs, and events, plus on-chain governance for smart contracts.

Explore on-chain governance with the governor smart contract, learn how to create and execute proposals, and integrate governance utilities and security features into your contracts.

WordPress developers learn to use a blockchain plugin to interact with smart contracts across networks like Optimism, Arbitrum, Binance Smart Chain, and Polygon, with MetaMask integration and API key setup.

Explore the ERC-721 non-fungible token standard, understand how to assign a unique identity to contracts for tokenizing game items, and deploy upgradeable NFT smart contracts with extensions.

Explore how DeFi began with Bitcoin and enables lending, borrowing, portfolio management, saving, and prediction markets through open DeFi protocols and smart contracts.

Kick off the first assignment by building an empty marketplace using a blockchain framework or smart contracts, with plug-ins such as WordPress. Seal your work with the instructor for feedback.
