Setup a local blockchain, create and deploy two simple smart contracts for DApps using Ethereum, Hardhat, and node.js

About This Video

• Learn how to create DApps (smart contracts) using Ethereum, Hardhat, and node.js
• Learn how to deploy your own DApp with minimal effort
• A complete hands-on course for better learning experience

In Detail

Blockchains and technologies supported by blockchains such as distributed apps (DApps/smart contracts), NFTs, and Web3 are taking the world by storm. Everyone is talking about them and developers knowledgeable in these technologies are some of the highest-paid in the world!

There are so many components to a DApp that you can easily get lost in the hundreds of components, libraries, and tools floating around the web. To learn how to create DApps, you can assume that a blockchain is a distributed data store that provides certain guarantees. Then, start using existing blockchain frameworks to deploy your DApps just as you would deploy your sites on the web without having to rebuild a webserver!

This is the approach we take in this course. You will set up a blockchain environment using stable, easy-to-use frameworks. Then, you will look at two smart contracts (or DApps) and deploy them first locally and later a global distributed TestNet. This will take you through all the steps needed to deploy your own DApp with minimal effort. In the end, you will deploy your (and your clients') DApps on the Ethereum mainnet.

By the end of this course, you will be able to create your first DApp on Ethereum.

Audience

This course is designed for anyone who wants to get started with DApps (smart contracts) or is having trouble with getting started with DApps. This course is for anyone who wants to learn DApps without having to recreate whole blockchain architectures.

For this course, one needs no previous understanding of blockchains, just some knowledge of basic JavaScript is required. React is used for a sample application. So, knowing it is a plus
