BLOCKCHAIN - LIST OF EXPERIMENTS

WEEK - 1 Simulating a Simple Blockchain

P1: Design a Python program to create a block with a timestamp, data, and previous block hash.
P2: Chaining Blocks: Extend the program to create a blockchain by linking multiple blocks.
P3: Validating the Chain: Implement a method to verify the integrity of the blockchain.

WEEK - 2 Digital Signatures

P1: Demonstrate the use of digital signatures for transaction authentication.

P2: Sign a transaction using the private key.
P3: Verify the transaction signature using the public key.

WEEK - 3 Simulating Bitcoin Transactions and Double-Spending

P1: Design a Python script to create a transaction with sender, receiver, amount, and a digital signature. How would you verify the
transaction’s authenticity?
P2: Implement a simple blockchain with a proof-of-work mechanism. What happens to the blockchain’s integrity if two miners
simultaneously attempt to add conflicting transactions? Ascertain the transaction that remains valid.
P3: Simulate a double-spend attack by attempting to spend the same Bitcoin twice in two different transactions. Propose a solution
to detect and prevent this attack.
P4: Modify the proof-of-work difficulty in your simulation. How does increasing or decreasing the difficulty affect the time taken to
mine a block?

WEEK - 4 Creating and Deploying a Token on Ethereum

P1: Write a Solidity smart contract for an ERC-20 token with functions for transferring tokens and checking balances. Deploy it on
a testnet and verify its functionality.
P2: Modify your ERC-20 token contract to include a function that restricts transfers to specific addresses. How does this affect the
token’s use in an ICO?
P3: Simulate an ICO by issuing 1,000 tokens and distributing them to five addresses. How would you ensure fair distribution in a
real ICO?
P4: Analyze the gas costs of deploying and transferring your token. Propose methods to optimize gas usage in your smart contract.

WEEK - 5 Simulating the Byzantine Generals Problem in a Distributed Network

P1: Implement a Python simulation of a network with 10 nodes, where 3 are Byzantine (malicious). How many faulty nodes can
your consensus algorithm tolerate?
P2: Modify your simulation to include a leader election mechanism. How does this affect the time to reach consensus?
P3: Compare the simulated consensus algorithm with Bitcoin’s proof-of-work. Which is more resilient to Byzantine faults, and
why?
P4: Introduce a delay in message passing between nodes in your simulation. How does this impact the consensus process?

WEEK - 6 Simple Storage Contract

P1: Create and deploy a Solidity smart contract to store and retrieve an integer value on the
Ethereum blockchain.
P2: ERC-20 Token- Develop and deploy an ERC-20 compliant token contract with functions for transferring tokens and managing
allowances.
P3: Voting Contract- Create a smart contract for a decentralized voting system where users can vote for predefined
candidates, and the owner can view results.
WEEK - 7 Wallet Development, Platforms, APIs

P1: Developing a Basic Ethereum Wallet Using Web3.js

P2: Deploying a Smart Contract on Ethereum Testnet Using Truffle
P3: Secure Wallet Authentication- Implement multi-signature (multi-sig) wallet functionality requiring multiple private keys to
authorize transactions in Solidity.
WEEK - 8 GO-Projects

P1: Simple Calculator

P2: File Word Counter
P3: Simple HTTP Server
P4: Simple TCP Chat Client
WEEK - 9 Smart Contract Mini Project

P1: Decentralized Voting System- Build a simple decentralized voting system using a Solidity smart contract
deployed on a local blockchain (Ganache).
P2: Asset Management System-use chaincode for managing assets in hyperledger fabric.
P3: Supply Chain Tracking- to implement a Hyperledger Fabric chaincode to record product details and status updates, with a
client application to interact with the chaincode
WEEK - 10 Supply Chain Transparency with Hyperledger Fabric

P1: Implement a Hyperledger Fabric-based solution to create a permissioned blockchain network for pharmaceutical
supply chain tracking.
P2: Use Hyperledger Indy to create a decentralized identity platform.
P3: Deploy Hyperledger Sawtooth to create a permissioned blockchain for post-trade processing.
WEEK - 11 DAPP Mini Project-1

P1: Design, configure and testing of mini project.

WEEK - 12 DAPP Mini Project-2

P1: Design, configure and testing of mini project.
