Book Description

Before Rust, blockchain developers didn’t have a systems programming language that was type-safe, fast, and, at the same time, had stable and easy memory management. Rust proved to be a boon for developers and works as the perfect solution for not only blockchain and protocol development but also dApp development.

Rust for Blockchain Application Development focuses on demonstrating solutions that can help blockchain developers productize decentralized applications using Rust, which is a complex language with a steep learning curve.

This book starts with basic Rust language concepts and then builds on these concepts to enable you to develop your own blockchain from scratch. As you progress, you’ll learn how to build dApps on popular chains like Solana and NEAR. You’ll also be guided through creating Ethereum dApps using Foundry (Rust). Finally, you’ll develop a custom blockchain using Substrate by Parity (Polkadot). The book provides a complete 360-degree view of Rust in the blockchain ecosystem.

By the end of this Rust book, you’ll have a thorough understanding of how to apply your Rust knowledge to building dApps and blockchains from scratch.

What you will learn

• Understand essential Rust concepts required to build blockchain
• Apply blockchain features such as nodes and p2 communication using Rust
• Understand and implement consensus in blockchain
• Build and deploy a dApp on Ethereum with the Foundry framework in Rust
• Develop and deploy a dApp on Solana and the NEAR protocol
• Build a custom blockchain using the Substrate framework by Polkadot

Who this book is for

This Rust programming book is for blockchain developers interested in building dApps on popular blockchains using Rust. Blockchain architects wanting to save time required to go through documentation and understand each technology can also use this book as a quick-start guide. Experience in building applications on blockchain is required, and familiarity with Rust will be helpful but not necessary.

About the Author

Akhil Sharma is a Software Engineer and an entrepreneur. He is the CTO of Dominate, a SaaS product company, and the founder of Myrl Tech, a tech services company providing technology consulting to some of the top enterprise companies in the world such as HP, 3M, Honda, Bose, and Adobe. He has 12+ years of industry experience and a solid understanding of building digital products. He is adept at multiple programming languages such as Golang, Rust, Ruby, Python, and JavaScript. He has mentored hundreds of engineers offline and discovered that they knew the programming language and the concepts around it but were unable to use them in real-world applications. He aims to close this gap by teaching how to apply the concepts practically and build projects in real time.
