blockchain protocols (e.g., Bitcoin, Ethereum), development tools (e.g.,
Remix IDE, Truffle Suite), and languages (e.g., Solidity, Python) to
implement the projects.
 Application Focus: Each program should focus on a specific application
domain (e.g., finance, supply chain, healthcare) to showcase how
blockchain technology can solve real-world problems.
Program1:

Explanation:

1. Blockchain Class: This class represents the blockchain and includes


methods to manage the chain, transactions, mining (proof of work), and
hashing.
2. Initialization (__init__):
o Initializes an empty chain (self.chain).
o Initializes an empty list for current transactions
(self.current_transactions).
o Creates the genesis block using create_block().
3. create_block:
o Creates a new block in the blockchain with an index, timestamp,
transactions, proof, and previous hash.
o Appends the block to the chain and resets the list of current
transactions.
4. new_transaction:
o Creates a new transaction with sender, recipient, and amount.
o Appends the transaction to self.current_transactions and returns the
index of the block that will hold this transaction.
5. hash:
o Computes the SHA-256 hash of a block to ensure data integrity and
security.
6. proof_of_work:
o Implements a basic proof-of-work algorithm to find a valid proof
for mining a new block.
7. valid_proof:
o Checks if a given proof is valid by verifying if its hash starts with a
certain number of zeros.
8. last_block:
o Returns the last block in the blockchain, allowing easy access to its
attributes.

Example Usage:Creating Transactions: Adds transactions to the blockchain


using new_transaction.
 Mining a Block: Mines a new block using proof_of_work and
create_block.
 Displaying the Blockchain: Outputs the full blockchain using
blockchain.chain.
