Updated in May 2025. This course now features Coursera Coach! A smarter way to learn with interactive, real-time conversations that help you test your knowledge, challenge assumptions, and deepen your understanding as you progress through the course. Discover the exciting world of decentralized application (DApp) development with this hands-on course. Learn to create secure and scalable blockchain-backed applications using Solidity, React, and Web3. Start with blockchain basics, exploring DApps, smart contracts, and decentralization. Build your first smart contract with Solidity, deploy it using Remix, and interact with the Ethereum blockchain. Dive deeper into advanced features like ERC20 tokens, staking, and NFTs while mastering debugging and testing tools like Truffle, Mocha, and Chai. Transition to frontend development with React to design dynamic, user-friendly interfaces for your DApps. Use Web3 to connect blockchain data to your applications, enabling real-time interactions. Through guided projects, you’ll create full-stack DApps like voting systems, staking platforms, and more. This course is ideal for aspiring blockchain developers with basic programming experience. By the end, you’ll have the skills to develop and deploy robust DApps, bridging the gap between blockchain technology and modern web development.
