Ethereum web3api
just like bitcoin, Ethereum is neither controlled nor owned by anyone - it is an open source project created by many people around the world. Different from bitcoin protocol, Ethereum's design is very flexible and adaptable. It is very easy to create new applications on the Ethereum platform. With the release of homestead, anyone can use the applications on this platform safely
Ethereum is a programmable blockchain. It does not give users a series of preset operations, but allows users to create complex operations according to their own wishes. In this way, it can be used as a platform for many types of decentralized blockchain applications
in a narrow sense, Ethereum refers to a series of protocols that define a decentralized application platform. The core of Ethereum is Ethereum virtual machine (EVM), which can encode any complex algorithm. In computer science terminology, Ethereum is "Turing complete.". Developers can use the existing JavaScript and python as the model of other friendly programming languages to create applications running on the Ethereum simulator.
what is Ethereum:
Ethereum is an innovation based on the application of technologies and concepts in bitcoin to computers. Ethereum itself imitates a lot of bitcoin technology to maintain the computer platform. Blockchain technology is one of them
Ethereum platform can safely run any program users want
advantages of Ethereum over other competitive currencies before Ethereum appeared, some digital currencies imitated bitcoin. However, these projects have their own shortcomings, they can only support one or several specific applications at the same time< However, the reason why Ethereum can surpass the limitations of these projects in the past is because of the core idea of Ethereum
what Ethereum wants to implement is a blockchain protocol with built-in programming language. Since it supports programming language, in theory, any blockchain application can be defined with this language, and then run on Ethereum's blockchain protocol as an application
The design of Ethereum is very flexible and adaptable
Ethereum target sets the advantages of blockchain technology, in order to add the advantages of blockchain, such as decentralization, openness and security, to almost all computing fields
blockchain applications of Ethereum
Ethereum has many blockchain applications, such as digital applications of gold and stocks, financial derivatives applications, DNS and digital authentication, etc
Ethereum has achieved more than 100 blockchain applications by many start-ups
Ethereum has also been closely watched by some financial institutions, banking consortia (such as R3), as well as large companies like Samsung, Deloitte, RWE and IBM. As a result, a number of blockchain applications such as simplified and automated financial transactions, merchant loyalty index tracking, and gift cards designed to achieve decentralization of electronic transactions have emerged
the relationship between Ethereum and blockchain:
Ethereum is a programmable blockchain
Ethereum does not give users a series of preset operations (such as bitcoin transaction), but allows users to create complex operations according to their own wishes
in this way, Ethereum can be used as a platform for various types of decentralized blockchain applications, including but not limited to cryptocurrency
like other blockchains, Ethereum also has a peer-to-peer network protocol. Ethereum blockchain database is maintained and updated by many nodes connected to the network. Each network node runs the Ethereum simulator and executes the same instructions. Therefore, people sometimes call Ethereum "world computer"
If you want to query the transaction records on the main network, you can use Etherscan. However, if you build your own private chain, how should you query the transaction records
the answer is that you need to listen to the logs on the chain, save them in the database, and then query them in the database. For example:
< pre t = "code" L = "Java" > varaddr = & quot& quot;< br />varfilter=web3.eth.filter({fromB lock:0 ,toBlock:' latest', address:addr });< br />filter.get(function(err,transactions){transactions.forEach(function(tx){
vartxInfo=web3.eth.getTransaction(tx.transactionHash);
/ / at this time, the transaction information txinfo can be stored in the database
})< br />});
Web3. Eth. Filter() is used to monitor the log on the chain, and Web3. Eth. Gettransaction() is used to extract the information of the specified transaction. Once the transaction information is obtained, it can be stored in the database for query

Generally speaking, the steps of deploying smart contract are as follows:
- start an Ethereum node (such as geth or testrpc)
- use Solc to compile smart contracts=& gt; Get the binary code
- deploy the compiled contract to the network This step will consume Ethernet currency, and you need to use the default address or specified address of your node to sign the contract.)=& gt; Get the blockchain address and ABI of the contract (JSON representation of the contract interface, including variables, events and callable methods) The author confused ABI with contract interface here. ABI is the binary representation of the contract interface.)
- use the JavaScript API provided by web3.js to call the contract Depending on the type of call, it may consume Ethernet currency.)
Ruitai coin has not been launched on the third-party platform, but it is rumored that it will also be launched on the third-party platform.
the working principle of nativscript: calling native API with JavaScript to realize cross platform
nativscript is a cross platform solution recently launched, which allows you to directly write Android and IOS local applications with JavaScript, It will be extended to Windows platform in the future. It's a project that has received more attention recently. It is essentially different from NW (formerly known as node WebKit, using web to write winodw / Linux desktop application) and phonegap embedded WebView to write app. It calls the system native API directly with JavaScript, so it has some native application characteristics.
