Decentralized Blockchain Network
An academic project focused on the ground-up development and deployment of a secure blockchain on a peer-to-peer network, demonstrating a deep analysis of decentralized technologies.
Project Overview
This project involved a comprehensive, in-depth analysis of blockchain technology, culminating in the creation of a fully functional blockchain from scratch. The core of the system was built in Python, utilizing the robust SHA-512 hashing algorithm to ensure the integrity and security of each block in the chain.
A key achievement was the successful deployment of this blockchain across a decentralized peer-to-peer (P2P) network. This required designing and implementing a consensus mechanism to resolve conflicts and ensure all nodes in the network maintained a synchronized, identical copy of the ledger.
To validate the deployment and functionality, I implemented a client-server network that simulated real-world transactions and interactions with the blockchain. This testing environment was crucial for debugging the P2P communication protocols and verifying the chain's immutability.
