Blockchain Learning and Practice Handbook (Blockchain-Handbook)

Blockchain (English: blockchain) is an intelligent peer-to-peer network that uses distributed databases to identify, disseminate, and record information, also known as the "Internet of Value." Introduced by Satoshi Nakamoto in the Bitcoin Whitepaper in 2008, blockchain technology gained prominence with the launch of the Bitcoin network in 2009, marked by the creation of the genesis block.

Blockchain's shared value system has been widely adopted by cryptocurrencies, evolving through improvements like Proof of Stake and the SCrypt algorithm. The ecosystem has expanded globally, giving rise to:

Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs)
Smart contract platforms like Ethereum
Asset tokenization models emphasizing "light ownership, heavy使用权"
Blockchain-based governance experiments

Today, decentralized applications (DApps), autonomous organizations (DAOs), and communities (DAS) are being built worldwide. This handbook documents my journey from zero blockchain knowledge to practical implementation, combining conceptual explanations with hands-on experience.
