Rezensionen

"Over the last ten years, Ethereum has transformed from being a whitepaper describing a proposal for a more general-purpose blockchain into a highly diverse and complex ecosystem. Absolute Essentials of Ethereum does an excellent job describing the basics, both of the technology and of how people maintain and use it and where it's going in the years to come."

-Vitalik Buterin, Founder of Ethereum

"Since its origins as a world computer, Ethereum has gone on to become a world-wide phenomenon. Over that time, to those on the inside, it feels like decades have passed. Paul is one of the few people with the ability to simply and modestly merge those years of collective coordination into a meaningful history of

what Ethereum is and more importantly why it matters. I'd highly recommend this book to anyone looking to get caught up and involved in the Ethereum ecosystem."

-Scott Moore, Co-founder of Gitcoin

"This is the perfect text for anyone to get up to speed with Ethereum and its key concepts. Written in a highly personable and engaging style, this book will take both the technical and non-technical reader on a tour of the most important moments in Ethereum's history and its most significant projects."

-Nick Almond (Dr), Founder of Factory DAO

"A well-written, comprehensive introduction to the various component sectors of Ethereum. This book appeals to both readers completely new to Ethereum and those old hands trying to remember the historical developments leading to the current state of affairs."

-Laurence E. Day (Dr), Founder of Wildcat Finance and Advisor to Euler Finance
