Median blockchain developer salary exceeds $100K per year, but what it takes to become blockchain dev?

Blockchain developers work with consensus protocols, network’s architecture, APIs, and, of course smart contracts. The broad list of responsibilities highlights the importance of a blockchain developer position for the industry as a whole.

To start a blockchain developer career, you need to learn blockchain basics first. It can be academic degree in information technology or online educational courses. Web2 background is also important here.

The next pillar is cryptonomics (Cryptography + Economics). You have to get a clear understanding of transaction fees, APYs, growth catalysts, minting/burning mechanisms and so on.

Ethereum and dApps. Ethereum $ETH blockchain is a number one choice for smart contracts and dApps development as it is extremely functional and versatile.

At this step, it’s essential to get familiar with smart contracts development as it is a backbone of crypto apps. Starting with Solidity programming language is a smart bet

For all blockchain devs, GetBlock offers ready-made API solutions on all blockchains(Ethereum, BSC, Polygon ect).

TrueUSD has launched a new stablecoin TCHN in collaboration with TRON DAO - the token is pegged 1:1 to offshore Chinese yuan.

Long-term GetBlock partner TRON is a fast-growing public blockchain of Chinese origin, where users can obtain and trade TCHN.

Issued by TrueUSD, TCNH is a sister product of TUSD - listed on 100+ platforms. TCHN is believed to enable more options for digitizing fiat currencies.

Offshore Chinese yuan is not subject to China financial regulations, therefore it can be more appealing when using foreign exchanges or other international financial platforms.

Justin Suntron states: “I believe that TCNH is a model for compliant and robust offshore stablecoins”.

[What information is checked by free blockchain nodes?]

Anyone can become a blockchain node provider in the Bitcoin network. All you need to do is to download and install software from the official Bitcoin website. Besides free public nodes, the Bitcoin network has BTC nodes which are not available to everyone. These are cryptocurrency nodes that are employed by exchanges, digital currency exchange services, wallet sites and other infrastructure projects.

Additionally, the Bitcoin network contains cryptocurrency nodes that operate through hidden protocols such as Tor along with the implementations of crypto nodes in various programming languages. Nbitcoin implementation is written in C#), btcd is written in Go, bitcoind in C++, and bcoin in Node.js.

Moreover, there are hardware cryptocurrencies nodes such as Casa, Lux Node, myNode, Lightning In A Box – the devices that only process transactions on the Bitcoin network.

What information is checked by free blockchain nodes?

The full BTC node checks all transactions in the block for correct signatures. Afterwards, the public node checks how many blocks have been created by Bitcoin and whether the blocks and transactions are displayed in the correct format. The full BTC node should also check that there is no double-spending of the same funds in a blockchain. With a full BTC node system, "light" nodes can accept transactions, putting a complete check on full crypto nodes. Besides, a number of full BTC nodes confirm the transaction independently of each other. Owing to this system of free blockchain nodes Bitcoin digital currency remains decentralized and protected from hacker attacks.

Bitcoin Lightning Network to be deployed for fiat transfers between the UK, Europe, and African countries.

Coin Corner and Bitnobi have launched a new application, Send Globally, which enables transfers between British Pounds $GBP or Euros $EUR and $NGN, $KES, and $GHS, currencies of Nigeria, Kenya, and Ghana.

Bitcoin Lightning Network is a Bitcoin’s second-layer solution that allows off-chain computations for fast and cost-efficient transactions.
The transactions are automatically converted into BTC and the selected local currency when deposited into the receiver’s bank account or wallet.

With the Lightning Network users will be able to avoid high costs and fees. In the last year, 14.1% of global remittance payments were allocated to the Sub-Saharan African region.
