What you'll learn

This course introduces students to the fundamentals of blockchain technology and enables them to build, deploy, and interact with smart contracts through hands-on sessions. By the end of this course, learners will be able to: 1. Understand core blockchain concepts and Ethereum architecture. 2. Write basic to intermediate-level smart contracts using Solidity. 3. Deploy and test smart contracts using Remix and Hardhat. 4. Work with MetaMask, test networks, and blockchain explorers. 5. Build a simple end-to-end decentralised application (DApp).

  • Purpose of blockchain – practical view, Real-world use-cases demo, Distributed ledger walkthrough, Blocks & transactions (hands-on observation), Public vs private chains – comparison, Consensus basics: PoW, PoS, Ethereum overview for developers Hands-on: MetaMask setup & testnet connection
  • Ethereum accounts – creation & usage, Gas & EVM – practical understanding, Sepolia/Holesky testnets – working demo, Tools: MetaMask, Remix, Hardhat – usage, Create accounts & send test transactions, Get test ETH from faucets, Blockchain explorer – transaction analysis
  • Data types, variables, functions – coding, Events & modifiers – practical use, Mappings, structs, arrays – implementation, Error handling: require, revert, assert, Visibility & memory vs storage Hands-on: Storage contract, Calculator contract, Remix deployment
  • Constructors & inheritance – applied, Payable functions – ETH send/receive, Error-handling patterns – practice Hands-on: To-Do list contract, Voting contract, ERC-20 basic token
  • Install Node.js & Hardhat, Hardhat project structure – setup, Deployment scripts – writing & running, Basic unit testing Hands-on: Create Hardhat project, deploy token locally
  • Frontend–smart contract connection, Ether.js basics – calls & transactions, Wallet interaction – connect & sign Hands-on: Mini-DApp (Donation / Voting / Token Dashboard)
