If you are into Crypto then chances are you have heard about NFT, especially after the incidents like Beeple sold his art for $69 million dollars or this friendship meme. NFT is usually considered is suitable for arts like pictures only but this is not true. NFT is all about uniqueness, authority, and the transfer of ownership. We are going to use NFT for selling cars. The video demo of this project can be seen below: In this post, I will be discussing how to mint ERC721 NFT tokens and then integrate them with new or existing websites. The user who buys a car will pay the amount of…

Build Your First Solidity Dapp With Web3.js and MetaMask
Actually, I had planned another topic in Solidity Series for web3.js but then the post could go off tangent hence I am discussing the basics of web3.js and how to interact with a smart contract. I am going to use the same contract I had created here. Basically, it is the web3.js version of the last post. Unlike other posts about web3.js based frontends that use NodeJs and React, I am not going to use any such thing because it is not required to create the front-end of a decentralized app. You do not even need NodeJS at all. You can use your existing skillsets like PHP/Laravel, Django, Rails, etc…

Develop and deploy your first Ethereum Smart Contract with Python
Learn how to write a basic smart contract in Solidity and then integrate it with Python app by using Web3.pyThis post going to be a bit longer as I am going to cover multiple concepts. I will be covering the following things: Smart Contracts and how do they work in Ethereum blockchain. The basics of Solidity Programming language and how to use online and existing IDEs to write and test them. Using Truffle and Ganache for Ethereum development environment setup. Web3.py helps to integrate Smart Contract with Python applications. What is a Smart Contract According to Investopedia: A smart contract is a self-executing contract with the terms of the agreement between buyer and seller being directly written into lines of code. The code and the agreements contained therein exist…

How to implement Stellar blockchain on existing ecommerce site
In the last couple of posts, I had discussed the technical site of implementing Stellar blockchain in Python. Those posts stirred interest among many and I got emails about the implementation of it on existing web applications, especially e-commerce websites. Since the actual purpose got buried in lathe st two posts between the lines of code. So today, I am making an attempt to explain in a language that business people, the site owners or managers could understand. Keep reading! I will be discussing a fictitious website that sells tea online, say allthingstea.com. They have a variety of tea products which are loved by thousands of customers. They have different…

How to create a custom token on Stellar network in Python
A few months back I made a post about Stellar that how you can use it in your Python applications. In this post, I am going to discuss that how you can create your own custom token, a.k.a, a coin programmatically in Python. Before I get into the code, I’d like to discuss what are tokens and their background, how they are different from Alt-coins and some Stellar network concepts. This post is lengthy so read it when you have ample time to read. What are Tokens? The term token is not new and many of us would have experienced the application of it one way or other. Tokens are…

Getting started with Python and IPFS
In this post I am going to discuss how you can use decentralized IPFS in your Python apps for storing different kind of data. What is IPFS? From Wikipedia: InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) is a protocol and network designed to create a content-addressable, peer-to-peer method of storing and sharing hypermedia in a distributed file system. IPFS was initially designed by Juan Benet, and is now an open-source project developed with help from the community. In simple it’s Amazon S3 on Blockchain. All of your information is available on decentralized network across nodes thus not only make the system scaleable but reliable as well since data which is fed in it…

Develop your first python app integrated with decentralized Stellar network
In this post I am going to discuss how to create a decentralized blockchain app aka dApp for Stellar Network. I will build a very simple web app, world’s simplest Ecommerce app, called it RocketCommerce where people can buy a single item by paying Lumens(XLM), stellar’s currency. The interface of the app looks like below: Before we get into the development of the application itself, allow me to discuss some background of Blockchain, decentralized apps and Stellar Network itself. What is Blockchain? From Wikipedia: A blockchain, originally block chain is a continuously growing list of records, called blocks, which are linked and secured using cryptography.[1][6] Each block typically contains a cryptographic hash of the previous block,[6] a timestamp and transaction data.[7] By design, a…
