Mastering Blockchain: Third Edition

by Imran Bashir

The third edition of Mastering Blockchain arrives at a time when DeFi, NFTs, and enterprise blockchain deployments have moved from experimental to mainstream. Imran Bashir provides comprehensive coverage of decentralized finance protocols, non-fungible token standards, and the Web3 ecosystem alongside the foundational blockchain concepts from earlier editions. New material covers Ethereum 2.0 and the proof-of-stake transition, layer-2 scaling solutions (rollups, state channels, sidechains), cross-chain interoperability protocols, and decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs). The edition also addresses the growing intersection of blockchain with IoT, supply chain management, and digital identity systems, providing both technical depth and practical implementation guidance.
