Description

Blockchain from First Principles is a rigorous, systems-oriented introduction to blockchain for readers who want more than slogans, hype, or surface-level explanations. Rather than treating blockchain as a buzzword, this book develops it as a precise technical subject: a shared state machine with authenticated history, conflict resolution, and a mechanism that either prices or restricts identities. It is written in a theorem–example–exercise style and is designed to help readers move from recognition to working fluency. The book covers the foundations that serious readers actually need: ledgers and state transition systems authenticated history, hash pointers, and Merkle trees transactions, UTXO and account models, and deterministic execution the fundamental theorems of blockchain keys, signatures, wallets, custody, and privacy proof of work, proof of stake, BFT, fork choice, finality, and reorgs rewards, supply, incentives, and protocol parameters useful-work proof of work, FACTOR, and DL0G Bitcoin Core implementation structure smart contracts, fees, MEV, scaling, interoperability, and attack patterns What makes this book different is not just breadth, but integration. It connects blockchain, cryptography, distributed systems, execution, incentives, and security into one coherent framework, and it does so with mathematical clarity rather than trend-driven simplification. This edition is intended for serious self-learners, software engineers, technically ambitious founders, researchers, and students who want a durable conceptual foundation rather than a quickly outdated overview. A separate companion volume, Blockchain from First Principles: Solutions and Worked Exercises, is available for readers who want structured self-study support, proof sketches, and worked solutions.
