Always Be in Demand: How To Be a Better Blockchain Developer

Blockchain being revolutionary that it is, has obviously opened up a new filed of development called Blockchain Development. Thus, has created numerous job opportunities

for developers and technicians. 

          Let's first Discuss how Blockchain works

The above image helps in easily understanding how Blockchain works. Blockchain is a public

ledger stored on the internet. It is comparable to digital database that records transactions made by digital assets and can't be change or corrupted. 

There are majorly three principal technologies that create Blockchain;

      1. Private key cryptography : this serves for purpose of security.

      2. A distributed network : this is the shared ledger that regulates transactions to                                                                eliminate fraud and tax evasion.

      3 .Incentives : rewards for "mining" companies to service Blockchain and ensure                                                security levels are maintained. 

A Blockchain can be private, public, permission-based, centralised or decentralised.

     Who is Blockchain Developer ? 

Basically any developer that is involved in Blockchain Technology can be taggged as Blockchain Developer.

"A Developer responsible for developing and optimizing Blockchain protocols, crafting the architecture of Blockchain system, developing web apps based on Blockchain technology is Blockchain Developer".

       

       Roles of Blockchain Developer 

• A solid understanding of coding is imperative for Blockchain developer.
• Developer is responsible for update and maintain security measures using Blockchain.
• Developer will be tasked with managing online resources about the demands of the network.
• Asked to develop a cryptocurrency that outcome your rivals.
• Developers that use to mine cryptocurriences are responsible for creating a hash.

        Types of Blockchain Developer

       There are two types of Blockchain Developers namely,

      Core Blockchain Developers : it handles the design architecture, design, security of    Blockchain Technology.

      Role:

• Design of Blockchain protocols.
• Design of consensus protocol and security patterns for the network.
• Design of network architecture.
• Supervision of entire network.

     Blockchain Software Developers : it uses the architecture to build Blockchain applications. 

     Role:

• Development of smart contracts.
• Development of Interactive front-end design for Dapps.
• Backend  development pertaining to Blockchain.
• Supervision of the entire stack running their Daaps. 

  

       Skills Required 

     1. Blockchain Architecture : it should have a great knowledge of Blockchain architecture and its working. Concepts like cryptographic hash functions, distributed ledger technology, consensus should be at the tip of the fingers.

     2. Data Structures : Secondly, it should have great knowledge and applicative sense of data structures while aiming for Blockchain developer. Concepts like merkle trees, pretrecia trees etc. A knowledge about Blockchain without the knowledge of Data Structures is incomplete.

      3. Cryptography : As Blockchain is the conjunction of Data Structures and Cryptography, hence it is obivious that a good grasp on Cryptography is also required to be a Blockchain Developer. 

      4. Smart contract development : Now, every Blockchain tries to incorporate smart contract functionality into its system so that business logic can be easily applied on the Blockchain.  

      5. Web Development : Web development is the core aspect of Blockchain developer. When a person begins his career as Blockchain Developer in the indrustry, majority of them are employed with basic designing of the Decenteralized applications.

What Is Block Chain

    Here is how's Block Chain spreading worldwide

     What is Block Chain ?

Block Chain is the technology of future and future is tomorrow. We've heard about Block 

chain but failed at understanding its direct impact in world. Is Block Chain hype or a reality? It is transparent, free, peer-to-peer and accessible. In last 10 years, youth started learning more about the technology that underpins Bitcoin, the famous digital currency. Today the implications of Block Chain are multiple and life changing.Block chain is giving power back to people and encouraging them to be active participants. The technology is profoundly modifying existing companies by rationalizing companies in value chain. 

      Technologies Used

Although Block Chain complex concept to know as surrounded with different technologies under a roof, here are some of the technologies used i.e Peer-to-Peer technology, Cryptography, Digital Signature, Nodes, Hashing, Consensus Protocol. These all are responsible to make Block Chain spread worldwide.

      Careers In Block Chain

Block Chain requires leadership and skills of professionals who can build the strategy and provide the block chain solution. Here, are some hottest positions under block chain i.e Blockchain developer, Blockchain project manager, Blockchain designer, Blockchain quality engineer, Blockchain attorney or legal consultant.

Peer to Peer network (P2P)

     How Block Chain works ?

     As explained in previous article about what is Block Chain, here we will discuss how it works and what technologies are used in it.

Block Chain is a complex concept to know as includes different technologies under one roof, it is the technology of future and future is tomorrow . We had heard a lot about Blockchain but failed to understand the technology, here listed the technologies used 

• Peer to Peer Network
• Cryptography
• Digital Signature
• Nodes
• Hashing
• Consensus Protocol

 From listed above technical aspects Peer to Peer Network is explained below,

    Peer to Peer Network (P2P)

A Peer to Peer Network (P2P) is very important part about how block chain works, and why it should be solid and secure. 

The next revolution of the internet will be linked to "blockchain".One of the direct implications of Blockchain targets P2P curation market sector. 

Peer to Peer (P2P) networks are bringing online members to a new place where they can exchange information and data relevant to them in a decentralized world.Interconnected peers form a group reliable for Block Chain i.e trustworthy and transparent. In this groups people's or users share information of common interests.

P2P blockchain apps that have emerged recently. Its impossible to predict whether tools like these will form the basis of an entirely web. From now they are interested to explore,

       1. IPFS (ipfs.io) 

IPFS, or Inter Planetary File System is a system for decentralized web applications that uses blockchain protocol to archive and sustain digital files. IPFS is touted an alternative to HTTP ( Hyper Text Transmisson Protocol), a current core technology of the web.

       2. Filecoin (filecoin.io)

Filecoin s a project developed from IPFS. Filecoin is both a platform storing both data and its own cryptocurrency, it is earned by hosting files. Although IPFS and Filecoin is similar but they differ in that's incentive based.

        3. Sia (sia.tech)

Sia is another protocol that uses power of blockchain to decentralize data storage and transmission.

Like Filecoin, Sia features its own cryptocurrency i.e siacoin which can be mined from its software.

         4. Etheria (etheria.world)

Etheria is a Minecraft-like videogame based on Ethereum Blockchain the "world first decentralized virtual world". In Etheria, players own tiles and farm them for building blocks, which is process similar to mining cryptocurrency.
