Start your blockchain developer journey with Track 1: Blockchain Foundations & Smart Contracts, the first course in the From Blocks to Build: Blockchain Dev Essentials specialization. This track teaches the core ideas that make decentralized systems work—distributed ledgers, consensus, transaction mechanics—and brings you inside the Ethereum Virtual Machine to build practical Solidity skills.

You’ll write, test, and deploy smart contracts using Remix IDE and EVM testnets, complete guided coding labs, and check your progress with auto-graded quizzes and hands-on exercises. Lessons focus on reliable contract structure, gas and execution flow, and common pitfalls to avoid when designing on-chain logic. This is the technical foundation: by the end you’ll be able to create EVM-compatible contracts, reason about transaction behaviour, and apply secure coding patterns. Track 1 is the first of three sequential tracks—followed by DApps & Tokenization Tools and Enterprise Blockchain & Auditing—that together form the full specialization. Complete all three tracks, finish the capstone, and pass the final proctored exam to earn the specialization’s industry-recognized certification.

This module introduces the overall certification structure and explains how the learning experience is organized throughout the course. To support different learning preferences, the content is offered in multiple formats, including Videos, eBooks, Audiobooks, and Podcasts. Each format covers the same key concepts, giving you the flexibility to learn in the way that works best for you. You can choose any format based on your preferred learning style and move through the course at your own pace.

Foire Aux Questions

It’s a 3-track specialization designed to help you master blockchain fundamentals, development, and security through guided projects.

The specialization includes three tracks — Foundations, Development, and Security — each building toward your final certification.

Yes. You’ll earn the Blockchain+ Developer™ certification after successfully completing all three tracks.

To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
