Web3 Development with Ethereum and Smart Contracts

Introduction to Web3 Development

Web3 represents the next evolution of the internet, built on blockchain technology and decentralized protocols. Learn how to build decentralized applications (dApps) that give users control over their data and digital assets.

Core Web3 Concepts

• Blockchain and distributed ledgers
• Smart contracts and self-executing code
• Decentralized storage (IPFS)
• Cryptocurrency wallets and transactions
• DAOs and decentralized governance

Development Stack

Modern Web3 development uses tools like Hardhat, Ethers.js, MetaMask integration, and frameworks like Next.js for the frontend.

Building Your First dApp

We'll walk through creating a simple dApp that interacts with Ethereum smart contracts, including wallet connection and transaction handling.
