Book excerpt: Blockchain technology has the potential to revolutionize the education sector in several significant ways. Firstly, it can enable the secure and tamper-proof storage of educational records, such as degrees, certifications, and diplomas. This ensures the authenticity and integrity of the credentials, reducing the risk of fraud and facilitating seamless verification processes for employers and educational institutions. Secondly, blockchain can facilitate the creation of decentralized learning platforms, enabling peer-to-peer interactions, transparent tracking of learning progress, and secure sharing of educational content. The book aims at providing insight into how blockchain can be leveraged in education sector. Chapter 1 focuses on overview of fungible and non-fungible tokens, different ERC standards for creating fungible and non-fungible tokens. The role of OpenZeppelin for simplifying the creation of non-fungible tokens is discussed at length. Chapter 2 unleashes the power of decentralized applications. It explores the development of decentralized applications using Blockchain Technology with React.js as frontend. Two decentralized applications one for transferring fund from one account to another and another for developing a frontend for demo project are discussed. Chapters 3 and 4 provide an overview of decentralized applications for educational domain. The first application elaborated in Chapter 3 targets design and development of decentralized feedback application focusing in detail on the steps pertaining to design of smart contract, testing the smart contract in two versatile environments of Remix IDE, Hardhat environment and Sepolia test environment, designing the frontend in React.
