Project overview

In this project, you’ll create and manage your blockchain identity using a bitcoin wallet.

Using your wallet, you will generate a new wallet address and use your wallet address to securely sign a message with your private key. Next, validate your message with your message signature using our web service.

Why this project?

This project introduces you to the fundamentals of blockchain technology.

Using your own wallet to understand how transactions and security are handled on the blockchain is a huge first step toward developing your own secure applications. Later in this program, you’ll be programming blockchain technologies that utilize these same features.

What will I learn?

You will learn to create and manage your personal blockchain identity. You’ll get first hand experience generating wallet address and interacting with a web service to create your blockchain identity.

This project helps build on the skills you learned in Lesson 1 and Lesson 2. You will apply these skills using real world technologies to get hands on with the tools used to manage blockchain transactions and identities.

How does this help my career?

Understanding wallet and web service interactions using a wallet address will help you build user applications later in the program. Secure and anonymous transactions like these are at the core of all blockchain technologies.
