Building our own blockchain
This section will guide you through building and initiating a functional single-node blockchain for practical exploration:
- The first step in your journey as a blockchain developer is to understand the process of compiling and launching a single local blockchain node. We will use the Substrate framework. The Substrate node template provides a fully functional single-node blockchain that can be executed in your local development environment. It comes equipped with predefined components such as user accounts and account balances, enabling you to explore various common tasks.
- By running the template without any modifications, you can have a functional node that generates blocks and supports transactions.
- Once your local blockchain node is up and running, this section will demonstrate how to utilize a Substrate frontend template.
- This will allow you to observe blockchain activities and submit transactions, providing practical insights into...
