In January 2022, I did a 30-day project on “Why Your Business Needs to Adapt to Blockchain”. This post is a part of it. To know what I covered, learned, and executed in the project, visit this page.

Hi there, happy to have you here. This is my update for the third week of the project.

The first thing I did this week was finishing the transaction costs blog post that I had started writing last week. Next up, I started writing a second blog post on how to create a dApp. While writing this blog post, I realized that the biggest challenge was in explaining the use of each tool in simple language. I had to include a lot of information in this post for the reader to be able to replicate the dApp creation. I believe this blog post addresses the core theme of the project and complements the previous post’s theoretical build-up.

The project’s landing page was very rough up until this week. It only outlined the possible outputs of the project. The details such as the definition of blockchain, the exact definitions of the terms in the Glossary, answers to the FAQs page, etc. weren’t there. As I am approaching the end of the month, I thought it would be a good time to simultaneously work towards the final landing page. I wrote an answer to the “What is blockchain?” question. I had to go through a ton of resources for writing this small section because most of the definitions online are not simple enough for any beginner to understand at the first glance. My goal was to make the definition clear enough for a reader to find interest in further exploring the topic. I also started filling out some of the responses on the FAQs page and the Glossary page. But, there is still a lot of work left for Week 4 in this area.

Challenges I faced in Week 3

The biggest challenge this week was simplifying the technical jargon. Upon reading the initial drafts of my documentation, I found the language incomprehensible for a beginner. I then spent considerable time searching for simple definitions of each technical terminology to make the blog posts easier to follow. I found a really good source for simple crypto-related definitions on YouTube – the “Whiteboard Crypto” channel. Other sources include Investopedia, Wikipedia, documentation pages of blockchain startups, etc.
