Welcome to the Blockstack Zero-to-DApp tutorial. In this tutorial, you build, |
|
|
|
run, modify, and deploy a decentralized application (DApp) called Animal |
|
|
|
Kingdom. This application makes use of blockchain technology through the use of |
|
|
|
the Blockstack platform. As you follow along, you'll learn what makes a DApp |
|
|
|
different than traditional applications. You'll also learn about the Blockstack |
|
|
|
Signature Fund and its Application Mining designed to fund DApp development. |
