Sep 11 2022, 02:33In my opinion, it is important to begin with general understanding of the blockchain and related technologies.
I usually recommend to start with the following topics:
- Cryptography basics - symmetric encryption, asymmetric encryption, cryptographic digital signature, hashing algorithms. It is impossible to truly understand blockchain without a basic knowledge of cryptography;
- Bitcoin. It is the first application of the blockchain technology and very helpful for understanding its evolution;
- Blockchain, consensus algorithms (PoW, PoS), transaction lifecycle. These are the key topics for understanding blockchain technology;
- Smart contracts and Ethereum. Ethereum is the first blockchain supporting smart contracts. Solidity, smart contract laguage on Ethereum and other EVM chains, is easy to learn and has a lot of resources on the internet;
- IPFS. Decentralized storage is an important component of many decentralized applications;
- Zero Knowledge proofs. These are not easy to understand but becoming very important lately.
Once you have a good understanding of these topics it will be easier for you to navigate the world of Web3 and choose the area that you would like to learn deeper.
