Build Your Own Blockchain

Create blocks with Python, calculate their hashes, and link them into a blockchain you can inspect and understand.

Validate Blocks and Add Proof of Work

Check blockchain integrity, record transactions, and add proof of work to understand how blocks meet your network’s rules.

Connect and Operate Blockchain Nodes

Run two local blockchain nodes on Linux, connect them, and learn to inspect and operate your own network.

About the course

Through AICC’s partnership with Linuxademy.com, **Blockchain Fundamentals on Linux** introduces blockchain technology through one practical project: building your own local blockchain. Start with a single block, then link and validate blocks, add transactions, and implement proof of work. Finally, connect two local nodes and learn to inspect and operate your blockchain network. Use Python on Ubuntu Linux in WSL, with simple code and minimal dependencies. Follow along with the commands and complete code files, or watch the lessons to understand how each part works. Linuxademy’s mission is to help people build, understand, and operate systems independently. This course gives you a working educational blockchain whose code and behavior you can explore yourself.
