Our book explains the movement to establish online trust through the decentralization of value, identity, and data ownership. This movement is part of ‘Web 3.0’, the idea that individuals rather than institutions will control and benefit from online social and economic activities. Blockchain technologies are the digital infrastructure for Web 3.0. While there are many books on blockchains, crypto, and digital assets, we focus on blockchain applications for Web 3.0. Our target audience is students, professionals, and managers. A blockchain application comprises protocols, code bases, use cases, and application interfaces. For a given blockchain application, protocols serve as the blueprints. A blockchain application has blueprints for the distributed ledger, native digital assets, cryptography, consensus, and smart contracts. Protocols are normally explained in a white paper so that potential adopters can understand the purpose and design choices made. Once rules are established, protocols are programmed into code bases, like Bitcoin core, Ethereum core, EOS, Hyperledger Fabric, Corda, Quorum, Chain or Multichain. Code bases are published as open-source software, typically on Github.
