商品描述

This book focuses on the innovation of blockchain technology and the advantages it offers. It provides a clear and comprehensive overview of blockchain technology and its possibilities, and thereby helps readers to form an opinion and draw their own conclusions about its potential exploitations.

The book begins with a chapter on the topic of decentralized networks, which familiarizes readers with their challenges by using the example of an online trading platform. Hereinafter, it is then detailed what blockchain technology is, where it comes from, and how it works. The necessary underlying technologies are explained, and various individual approaches as well as their composition are presented. Using well-known examples such as Bitcoin and Ethereum as an illustration, the book looks at the architecture of blockchain technology and focuses on the challenges such as security and scalability. The options available when introducing blockchain technology are also outlined, and best-practice examples are presented to get a better idea of what areas benefit from this technology.

Numerous examples and detailed explanations will accompany the readers throughout the book. By the time they have reached the end, they will be able to decide for themselves what is truly innovative about blockchain technology and what is nothing more than hype.


商品描述(中文翻譯)

這本書專注於區塊鏈技術的創新及其所帶來的優勢。它提供了區塊鏈技術及其可能性的清晰且全面的概述,幫助讀者形成自己的看法並得出關於其潛在應用的結論。

本書以去中心化網絡為主題的章節開始,通過線上交易平台的例子使讀者熟悉其挑戰。接下來,詳細介紹了區塊鏈技術是什麼、它的起源以及它的運作方式。必要的底層技術也得到了說明,並展示了各種個別方法及其組成。書中使用比特幣(Bitcoin)和以太坊(Ethereum)等知名例子作為插圖,探討區塊鏈技術的架構,並聚焦於安全性和可擴展性等挑戰。引入區塊鏈技術時可用的選項也得到了概述,並提供了最佳實踐的例子,以便更好地了解哪些領域受益於這項技術。

書中將伴隨著大量的例子和詳細的解釋。當讀者閱讀到最後時,他們將能夠自行決定區塊鏈技術真正的創新之處,以及哪些僅僅是炒作。
