- 8. A subtil equilibrium between game theory (microeconomics), peer 2 peer networking, and cryptography Things to keep in mind when talking about blockchain ● New modifications are appended to the Ledger by grouping them in a block that point to the last block, hence the term “blockchain”: a chain of blocks; ● the state of Ledger is constructed by aggregating the chained blocks of modifications, therefore keeping track of the whole history of modifications; ● a Peer (aka node) of the Network keeps a copy of the ledger; ● Replication guarantees availability and non tempering of the information written in the ledger; ● the accounting unit allows the emergence of a consensus on the state of the ledger through incentivization mechanisms; ● the accounting unit is sometimes considered as a currency, an asset, or a commodity. Network Ledger Blockchain Accounting Unit (Token)
- 9. Network, Ledger and Accounting unit, 3 intertwined pillars Essential notions Blockchain Network Accounting unit (token)Ledger The nodes (peers) replicate the same ledger The ledger notably tracks accounts of the user via a public key infrastructure Appending a modification to the ledger relies on transferring tokens from one user to another The accounting unit (token) incitivizes peers to come to consensus as they value the unit
- 10. The protocol relies on a elegant mix of hashing function, public-private cryptographic key pair, and incentivization Essential notions Hashing Incentives Public keys Incentivization mechanisms bring consensus among a large number of nodes and guarantee the resilience of the network Public keys are the entries or accounts of the ledger, they also allow strong authentication Functions that take data of arbitrary size as input and output a data of fixed size. They are one way and the output looks random. Hash functions play a role consensus generation and in keeping integrity of the ledger Blockchain
- 11. The term blockchain reflect the structure of the ledger Blockchain as a chain of blocks Users can modify the ledger by broadcasting in the network a transaction containing their modification, transactions are grouped in a block that points to the latest known block. Blocks of transactions are pointing to one another thus forming a chain Inclusion in a block comes along with tamper-proof sealing and timestamping
- 12. The term blockchain reflect the structure of the ledger Blockchain as a chain of blocks The Nonce if the proof of validity of the block The (native) Timestamp facilitates lot of applications Users can send transactions to the P2P network. Transactions (Txi) are selected by miners The reference to the previous block’s hash makes the blockchain immutable The Merkle tree structure (hashing transactions, hash of hash etc…) allows efficient and secure verification of content in a large body of data
- 13. Major innovation of blockchain technology lies in applications of new consensus algorithms Consensus, why this block and not another ? Leader selection ● Proof of Work (Meritocraty). The right to be the leader relies on the computing work that has been done. This work is both difficult to achieve and easy to attest when done. The work done is usually wasted from one block to another. When successful, workers are rewarded in tokens ● Proof of Stake (Capitalism). Users can put their tokens at stakes and commit to coherence of new blocks. Leaders are regularly chosen at random where chances of being chosen reflect the stakes ● RAFT (Democracy). Leader is designated for a term that can end prematurely if the node goes offline ● Proof of Authority (Monarchy), a list of leaders is established with a priority order ● ... ● one node has to be the leader ● the leader creates the next block and broadcast it Different forms of consensus reflect fault tolerance and resilience to byzantine behaviours of the peers Incentivization mechanism reward good behaviour and sometimes punish bad behaviour

- 15. Ethereum, what is it? a world computer!
- 16. The Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) ● Ethereum is a blockchain, therefore it has the 3 pillars: ○ network of nodes… ○ ... replicating the same ledger…. ○ ... and accounting with an accounting unit (ether) ● What’s special about Ethereum ? ○ Transaction can contain code ○ The nodes host a virtual machine called the EVM ● The EVM is turing complete ● But, the EVM has a pay as you go mechanism for code execution ● The EVM executes Opcode that are fundamental instructions such as ADD, SUB, SSTORE... A runtime environment for smartcontract
- 17. Neither smart nor contracts but immutable tamper-proof self executing contracts Smart Contracts - Softwares deployed in the Ethereum Blockchain Smart contracts Smart contracts are code stored on the blockchain and self-executed, using the trust and security of the blockchain network. They provide an application logic that runs in a distributed fashion on the Ethereum blockchain and operates using the power of the Turing-complete Ethereum Virtual Machine (see next slide). It allows users to program anything (sky is the limit!) and therefore enhance or completely redesign business processes and services. Dapps and DAOs Collections of integrated smart contracts and traditional web technologies realize a new breed of decentralized applications (dapps) and a create a vision for decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs) Ethereum pioneered token standards allowing businesses to create their own tokens representing assets or utilities and still interact with the Ethereum blockchain via smart contracts (e.g., ERC20, ERC223, ERC721) Contract Offer Consideration Acceptance <smart contract> contract OfferContract { uint public acceptance_rate = 50; mapping (address => uint) tradeAccount; mapping (address => uint) coinAccount; address public owner; function Consideration() { owner = msg.sender; } modifier onlyOwner { if (msg.sender != owner) sign; } function setAccept(uint rate) onlyOwner { acceptance_rate = rate; } } </smart contract>
- 18. The Gas, aka the evanescent state of Ether ● Each Opcode has a price (hence “pay as you go” mechanism) expressed in Gas ● Gas is like a sub-accounting unit in Ethereum ● A transaction in Ethereum consume more or less Gas as it requests more or less Opcodes ○ No opcode? Alice sends 1 ether to Bob: 21 000 Gas ● Before broadcasting a transaction, a user selects: ○ a GasLimit: how much EVM usage he/she is willing to request for the transaction (usually estimated by the user’s client) ○ a GasPrice: how much ether he/she is willing to pay per Gas ● Miners pick pending transactions to build a block and (tend to) prioritize transactions with high GasPrice ● Miners cash in the transaction fees GasUsed * GasPrice ● Ether is therefore both programmable money and money to program ○ One can argue that it’s a commodity for super secure cloud computing The Gas is the smart pay as you go mechanism for code execution in the EVM
- 19. Ethereum: blockchain as a deterministic transitioning protocol Each block represent a new state for the EVM The Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) is the runtime environment for smart contracts in Ethereum. The EVM is a Turing complete virtual machine All nodes in the network execute the exact same sequence of bytecodes in the exact same order and in the same way. Every transaction contents are bytecodes ; this set of instructions will allow the EVM to transition to a new state. You can program anything a normal program could do: variables (integers, strings, lists, mappings), functions, loops, storage manipulation, etc. All nodes in the network receive and process every blocks and therefore every transactions. This can be seen as if Ethereum was a computer shared between every nodes in the network where the blockchain protocol ensures a consensus so all nodes can synchronize their actions.

- 25. The killer app sofar : creating your own token Let there be tokens, the ERC20 Standard ● Facilitate integration and interoperability of dapps in the Ethereum ecosystem ● The ERC20 Token Standard as a common set of rules for ethereum-based tokens to adhere to. ● As a result, almost all of the major tokens on the ethereum blockchain today, including those sold in initial coin offerings (ICOs), are ERC-20 compliant. ● A smart contract running on top of the ethereum blockchain, i.e. a set of code (functions) with an associated database ○ The code describes the behavior of the token ○ The database is basically a table with rows and columns tracking who owns how many tokens.
