Blockchain
The internet was envisaged as a decentralised global network, but in the past 25 years it has come to be controlled by a few, very powerful, centralised companies. Blockchain is a technological paradigm shift that allows secure, reliable, and direct information transfer between individuals, organisations, and things, so that we can manage, verify, and control the use of our own data. Blockchain also offers a new opportunity for humanity to fix some major problems. It can authenticate data, manage its analysis, and automate its use. With better data comes better decision-making. In this way, Blockchain can contribute to solving climate change, reduce voting fraud, fix our identity systems, improve fair trade, and give the poor an opportunity to improve their lives by monetising their (digital) capital. A world built upon peer-to-peer transactions and smart contracts can empower individuals and communities.This book offers a fresh perspective with which to consider this transformative technology. It describes how Blockchain can optimise the processes that run our society. It provides practical solutions to global problems and offers a roadmap to incorporate Blockchain in your business. It offers a blueprint for a better world. Filled with easy-to-understand examples, this book shows how Blockchain can take over where the internet has fallen short.

Python Microservices Development
Use Python microservices to craft applications that are built as small standard units using proven best practices and avoiding common errorsKey FeaturesBecome well versed with the fundamentals of building, designing, testing, and deploying Python microservicesIdentify where a monolithic application can be split, how to secure it, and how to scale it once ready for deploymentUse the latest framework based on asynchronous programming to write effective microservices with PythonBook DescriptionThe small scope and self-contained nature of microservices make them faster, cleaner, and more scalable than code-heavy monolithic applications. However, building microservices architecture that is efficient as well as lightweight into your applications can be challenging due to the complexity of all the interacting pieces. Python Microservices Development, Second Edition will teach you how to overcome these issues and craft applications that are built as small standard units using proven best practices and avoiding common pitfalls. Through hands-on examples, this book will help you to build efficient microservices using Quart, SQLAlchemy, and other modern Python tools In this updated edition, you will learn how to secure connections between services and how to script Nginx using Lua to build web application firewall features such as rate limiting. Python Microservices Development, Second Edition describes how to use containers and AWS to deploy your services. By the end of the book, you’ll have created a complete Python application based on microservices.What you will learnExplore what microservices are and how to design themConfigure and package your code according to modern best practicesIdentify a component of a larger service that can be turned into a microserviceHandle more incoming requests, more effectivelyProtect your application with a proxy or firewallUse Kubernetes and containers to deploy a microserviceMake changes to an API provided by a microservice safely and keep things workingIdentify the factors to look for to get started with an unfamiliar cloud providerWho this book is forThis book is for developers who want to learn how to build, test, scale, and manage Python microservices. Readers will require basic knowledge of the Python programming language, the command line, and HTTP-based application principles. No prior experience of writing microservices in Python is assumed.

Blockchain
The dominance of trusted intermediaries could be weakened by blockchain, a distributed ledger technology, one of the functions of which is to constitute timestamped proofs by replacing inter-individual trust with algorithmic trust. Blockchain self-executing smart contracts allow us to rethink the practice in the domain of e-commerce, interbank communication, fundraising (and ICOs), justice (timestamping evidence, acts authenticated by blockchain) and businesses in numerous sectors (entertainment, AI, health, real estate, tourism, transport, etc.) which attempt to propose new services by benefiting from blockchains. This book aims to put into perspective the technical innovations and the uses brought about by blockchain, by identifying that which has a medium- or long-term impact, all while taking into account the social, economic, judicial and administrative resistances that are likely to develop.

Blockchain Without Barriers
Blockchain interoperability is revolutionizing how digital assets and data move across decentralized networks. This book provides a comprehensive exploration of the protocols and frameworks that enable seamless interaction between diverse blockchains. With a focus on leading solutions such as LayerZero ULN, Polkadot XCM, Cosmos IBC, and Chainlink CCIP, readers gain a deep understanding of the mechanisms driving cross-chain communication. Blockchain Without Barriers also deals with the vulnerabilities that have challenged the industry, examining incidents such as the Wormhole and Nomad exploits that resulted in significant financial losses. Addressing these challenges, the book offers a practical guide to simulating and enhancing interoperability technologies. Detailed code walkthroughs demonstrate how to replicate bridges, relayers, and event-driven contracts using Truffle, Ganache, and Solidity, empowering readers to experiment and innovate on their own desktops. A highlight of the book is the introduction of the Cross-Domain Trust Mesh (CDTM), a novel, modular framework designed for governance-aware systems that emphasize safety, compatibility, and decomposability. Key topics include replay protection, compliance, Oracle manipulation, and developer abstractions, all presented with clarity and technical depth. By establishing clear standards and practical guidance, this book lays the foundation for the next era of Web 3.0 -- a truly decentralized and interoperable digital world. It is an essential resource for scholars, researchers, developers, and anyone eager to master the complexities of blockchain interoperability.
