Key benefits

  • Implement peer-to-peer blockchain using features of the Rust programming language
  • Use Rust to build dApps on popular blockchains like Ethereum, Solana, and NEAR
  • Optimize Rust code and enhance security updates to deploy a blockchain to production
  • Purchase of the print or Kindle book includes a free PDF eBook

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.

Who is this book 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.

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

Great book if you are already a rust engineer and don't want to spend time rereading documentation of all different blockchains - this book gives you great projects to help you learn faster. I would definitely recommend it to all blockchain enthusiasts!

Just picked up my copy of the book, this is a gold mine and the ONLY resource on the internet that covers multiple Rust blockchains. I would highly recommend knowing Rust really well before picking this up though since otherwise it's going to be very difficult to follow along as the third, fourth and fifth chapters are about building your own blockchain in Rust, so things get very serious very fast.Highly recommended if you're a Rust engineer and want a comprehensive resource about blockchains that use Rust.My favorite chapters are the Solana chapter (uses Anchor for smart contract development) and the Substrate one (building your own blockchain).

This exceeded my expectations in every way! As someone with experience in blockchain development but new to Rust, I found this book to be an incredible resource. It walks you through everything from the basics of Rust to building full-fledged decentralized applications (dApps) on popular blockchains like Solana, Ethereum, and NEAR. The explanations are clear, and the progression from simple to complex topics is seamless. I especially loved the deep dive into building custom blockchains with Substrate—it really gave me a 360-degree view of Rust in the blockchain space. The hands-on approach and real-world examples made complex concepts easy to grasp. Plus, the accompanying GitHub repo with all the code examples is a huge help, making it easier to follow along and experiment. This book is a must-have for anyone serious about blockchain development and looking to master Rust!

I bought this book after learning Rust, as I wanted to get into blockchain development with Rust.The book starts off strong if you don't know much about blockchain. However, I noticed printing errors almost immediately - but not a big deal. There are also several grammatical errors throughout the book, indicating that English is the author's second language - also not a big deal.Then we get to the first code walkthrough, which is what really makes me give this book a 2-star rating. The instructions are not clear, and I am left trying to deduce where to put certain blocks of code in the starter project that is depicted in the book. For someone who doesn't know much about blockchain and has never worked on anything related before: this has me lost and confused.On top of that, I have already discovered two instances of Rust code that were incorrect, and they were very basic examples.I don't know if a better resource is out there, but I'll keep looking.EDIT: After completing chapter 3, which is where we are to set up our own blockchain, I was completely confused. After writing some code, the chapter ended without even running the code. I found the GitHub repo for the book and located the section on chapter 3 and discovered a TON of code left out of the book that is required to make it all come together and work. Baffling that this book was published by Pakt.

not that enjoyable book, the solana chapter is not very well explained, hard to visualize what is going on, not clear example and vague code, i rather watch a solana course with anchor in youtube

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter.

What is Early Access? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Keeping up to date with the latest technology is difficult; new versions, new frameworks, new techniques. This feature gives you a head-start to our content, as it's being created. With Early Access you'll receive each chapter as it's written, and get regular updates throughout the product's development, as well as the final course as soon as it's ready.We created Early Access as a means of giving you the information you need, as soon as it's available. As we go through the process of developing a course, 99% of it can be ready but we can't publish until that last 1% falls in to place. Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most. You not only get access to every chapter as it's delivered, edited, and updated, but you'll also get the finalized, DRM-free product to download in any format you want when it's published. As a member of Packt, you'll also be eligible for our exclusive offers, including a free course every day, and discounts on new and popular titles.
