    • How Far Are We From The Metaverse?

      The industrial revolution has liberated the hands of mankind, the information age has liberated the human brain, and the metaverse will liberate the spiritual home of mankind. There are 1,000 metaverses in the minds of 1,000 people, but it is understandable that "metaverse" is not a single, comprehensive definition. Metaverse is best understood as "further development of the mobile Internet". This is because the metaverse will not fundamentally replace the Internet, but iteratively transform on its basis.

      Maybe today and tomorrow, Metaverse is just an online virtual world—like Decentraland, Crypto Voxel, and The Sandbox—where you can play fast games, browse NFTs in art galleries or hold online parties. But after 5, 10, or 20 years, Metaverse may replace most of the work you do online or even offline. The ultimate metaverse connects the physical world and the digital world and will become the way of life for humans in the future, reshaping the digital economic system.

      The world of "Top Player" and "Out of Control Player" is no longer far away from us. In the near future, we will be able to enter games such as oasis, free city, and free life. We work, love, and live in the metaverse. Adventure...

      So, what path will we take to realize the future of this meta-universe? Centralized technology route through Facebook? Or through a new decentralized model?

      In the next 3-5 years, Metaverse will enter a period of prototype exploration. Progressive technological breakthroughs and business model innovations in VR/AR, NFT, AI, cloud, PUGC game platforms, digital humans, and digital twin cities will emerge endlessly. In the medium and long term, Metaverse's investment opportunities include GPU, 3D graphics engine, cloud computing, and IDC, high-speed wireless communications, Internet and gaming company platforms, digital twin cities, industrial Metaverse, solar energy, and other sustainable energy sources.

      Tencent CEO Ma Huateng said in the preface of "Three Views" that a series of technologies from real-time communication to audio and video is now ready, computing power is rapidly improving, and the mode of information contact and human-computer interaction is promoted to undergo richer changes, VR, etc. The promotion of new technologies, new hardware, and software in different scenarios is about to usher in the next wave of true Internet upgrades. **We believe that the current technical conditions are still the threshold for entering the metaverse era, and future breakthroughs in the fields of communication and computing power, interactive methods, content production, economic systems, and standard protocols will gradually narrow the distance with the metaverse era.. **

      The evolution of the development pattern of the metaverse can be divided into three stages:

      In the next 5-8 years, with the continuous development of technology, we expect that major Internet giants and some leading companies focusing on games and social interaction will develop a series of independent virtual platforms.

      It is expected that around 2030, as the pan-entertainment immersive experience platform has achieved rapid development, Metaverse will expand to more experiences based on the pan-entertainment immersive experience platform. We expect some behaviors such as consumption, education, conferences, and work will Moving to the virtual world, as consumer behavior in the virtual world continues to heat up, and with the association of digital currencies such as the digital renminbi and NFT-based digital information, economic systems have begun to be established, which will drive some virtual platforms to achieve transactions, social interactions, and other interactions.

      It is expected that after 2030, each virtual platform will be used as a sub-universe, gradually forming a complete set of standard protocols, realizing the aggregation of each sub-universe, and forming a true metaverse; these sub-universes will still remain independent but will be integrated through standard protocols. Interaction, economy, and other interfaces are unified and standardized to achieve interconnection and interoperability, and Metaverse thus enters the stage of a digital full Internet of thousands of industries.

      Discussion:

      1. When one day, 80% of a human's daily life is carried out in the metaverse, what will it be like?

      2. What investment opportunities do you think Metaverse has at this stage?

      3. Talk about the layout of the big factory you know.

    • NFT SUMMER is over, is it okay in the art field?

      2021 is undoubtedly the mid-summer of NFT. No matter where you go, you will listen to people talking about NFT, starting with Beeple’s sky-high art paintings at the beginning of the year, to the veteran NFT Crypto Punks whose prices have soared to the ceiling, and then to the messy Loot that was on fire a few days ago. , People’s enthusiasm for NFT is unprecedented.

      But this raises another question, how long can NFT Summer last? I believe this is what many people worry about.

      No one will deny that the hype cycle in the crypto field will always end at some point. DeFi in 2020 is a perfect example. When the overall market sentiment shifts from long-term thinking to short-term gains, it is time to leave.

      So, as far as the projects of NFT and Metaverse itself are concerned, how can we find a balanced, stable, and healthy development path in the volatility of the market?

      At the Metaverse Ecological Empowerment Exchange Conference last weekend, Mr. Chen Xu, the founder of MetaZ and the future asset research think tank MetaZ, chief consultant of NFT China, and NFT consultant of FT Chinese Network, shared "How does Metaverse cross the bull and bear?", his It’s also very appropriate to put ideas under this topic.

      Chen Xu believes that empathy, virtual identity, and non-technical dependence are the three main elements that the Metaverse project can be retained in the market.

      Empathy is the most important value in the meta-universe. Only by impressing users as much as possible, allowing users to show their individual diversity and richness in NFT and metaverse, and allowing users to feel the sense of connection with beautiful memories, can they build A meta-universe rich in emotion and imagination.

      Virtual digital identity is everyone’s most cherished and basic need in the metaverse. The social services and technological extensions surrounding this identity are truly meaningful. People’s worldviews and values that shape images in the metaverse are even possible. In the future, it will affect the world outlook and values in real life.

      Non-technical dependence jumps out of the time limit and is not affected by the core competitiveness of the market due to time flexibility. If the project depends on technology, once it is not at the forefront of technology, it is easy to be eliminated due to the technological advancement of the entire market.

      In the metaverse, the value of connection and transmission is actually a human commonality. If only focusing on the inevitability of assets, the expectation of price growth, or the digital identity in the metaverse does not establish a good connection with users Sex, or trapping oneself in a technological trap, cannot rely on its own value to maintain user emotions in a market downturn.

      Discuss:

      1. What do you think is left in the encryption field after NFT SUMMER?

      2. What do you think are needed for the long-term and stable development of NFT and Metaverse?

      Questions:

      1. After The Hype: The Future For NFTs

      2. Who will next summer in the crypto world belong to? Maybe DAO

      3. Opinion: NFT is at the end of the cycle, and the new public chain DeFi will relay

      4. The NFT market bubble has popped and we’ve got the charts to prove it

    • Is NFT fragmentation a fluid exploration practice or a performance art?

      Last Saturday, the famous NBA star Curry bought an NFT ape (Bored Ape Yacht Club, BAYC) for 55 ETH (about 180,000 US dollars), and then he changed his Twitter profile picture to the NFT work, and The abbreviation "BAYC" of the project is marked in the personal profile.

      It is reported that Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) is an NFT collection item launched in late April this year. The series consists of 10,000 unique apes, including hats, eyes, looks, clothing, backgrounds, etc, 170 different rarities Attributes.

      According to Messari data, on August 10, the floor price of BAYC apes was 16 ETH, and after buying in Curry, the floor price of BAYC apes rose to 24.99 ETH, a 56% increase in 21 days.

      In addition, the blue-chip project CryptoPunks in the Avatar sector has developed into the most expensive project in the NFT ecosystem in four years, and it is also experiencing the madness of the DeFi boom last year.

      Under such an upsurge, the popular NFT collectibles are priced at hundreds of thousands and millions of dollars, which is naturally prohibitive. While the investment threshold is raised, it has also caused NFT liquidity problems. Faced with such a situation, NFT fragmentation has emerged.

      On August 23, a picture of Shiba Inu named "Feisty Doge" began to appear frequently in major communities. The photo was sold as an NFT in June and was auctioned by a user named path.eth (@Cryptopathic) on Twitter on the decentralized auction platform Zora for 13 ETH.

      On August 19th, the user split the ownership of this Feisty Doge NFT (Dogecoin avatar prototype) and created the token NFD with a total of 100 billion copies. Then he created an ETH-NFD pool on SushiSwap, invested 25 ETH and 5 billion NFD as initial liquidity, which means that the initial valuation of Feisty Doge was 500 ETH (valued at about $1.555 million at the time). After path.eth (@Cryptopathic) released the news, the extremely low price stimulated speculators’ interest in NFD to spread like wildfire. From the initial price of US$0.00001547 to the highest price of US$0.00125862 on August 22, NFD It has risen 80 times in just 3 days. While the NFD soared to a high point, it also drove the photo of Feisty Doge to become the most expensive NFT in the industry at a price of $126 million.

      Obviously, NFD has become the engine of NFT fragmentation, gradually infiltrating the encryption community. We all know that although a book, a car, and a house are inseparable, when it is tied to a token, the token can be subdivided infinitely. For example, 1 bitcoin can be divided into 1000 0.001 bitcoins, so when you own the tokens bound to the asset, you also have the ownership of the corresponding asset. In this case, real-world assets, or products of the virtual world, can be regarded as a kind of stock, and fragmentation is similar to "stock splitting" by splitting larger denomination stocks into several stocks. Stocks with smaller denominations, on the one hand, can lower the threshold for people to purchase, obtain promising assets at a lower cost, and increase the possibility of benefiting from them. On the other hand, it also reduces the difficulty of circulation of these NFTs.

      Discussion:

      1. What NFT fragmentation protocols are available on the market? What are the differences between them?

      2. Is NFT fragmentation a general trend or liquidity overdraft?

      3. Talk about your views on NFT fragmentation.

      3. The fragmentation of NFT has attracted heated discussion in the community: is it the general trend or liquidity overdraft?

      4. Crowdfunding to buy an avatar? I would like to call it NFT performance art

    • NFT and Its Rise

      98f3f76c-bdff-463e-bcf7-1a00688152ed-image.png

      NFT's (Non-Fungible Tokens) are, in essence, collectible digital assets, which hold value as a form of art or culture. These digital assets, which are unique and indivisible, can be bought, sold, stored, and exchanged on a blockchain. Indivisible means we can not buy half or some of the NFT like Fungible tokens.

      27a57481-3d26-4a92-a5ec-7d926ad147fa-image.png

      Here we have some NFTs sold recently.

      4b91ecc8-a4fc-4940-9b20-8aed242d70a4-image.png

      1. Everydays: the First 5000 Days ($69.3 million)
        "Everydays - The First 5000 Days" is a JPG file that contains a collage of images created by Beeple, a single picture is usually sold at auction, but here you'll find almost everything the artist has made since he began displaying his work online in 2007.

      2. CryptoPunk #7804 ($7.57 Million)
        The Punk #7804 is another Alien, and this time it comes with a pair of small shades, a smoking pipe with a few clouds of smoke rising out of it, and a front-facing cap, 378 punks come with Pipe, and 317 punks come with small shades. Aliens, Apes, and Zombies are among the uncommon CryptoPunks, in addition to the regular CryptoPunks.

      1. Crossroads ($6.6 Million)
        The artwork is based on the presidential election in 2020. The artist created two versions of this, one for if Trump wins and the other for if Trump loses. And the video would vary depending on the election results.
        This means that the blockchain needs to enable its users to create unique tokens in order to offer them. Someone without extensive knowledge of the cryptocurrency industry could create their own NFT which has a unique identifier that proves ownership of a digital item.
        These cryptographic tokens are perfect for digital art, but there are many other sectors betting on this technology

      Collections: Similar to trading cards, but in digital format. A one of a kind Cristiano Ronaldo NFT has been sold for $290,000 on the fantasy soccer game Sorare.

    • Gaming World with Blockchain!

      BlockChain-Based Gaming! What’s the Difference from Traditional Gaming??

      Not only can the companies sell the equipment in a game, but the creator can directly sell to the buyer.
      Once a buyer buys any equipment from the creator, the transaction is recorded on a specific blockchain, and the buyer owns the provable it can be either public or permissioned blockchain, depending on the game building company.
      The buyer can use the bought equipment to grow more, for example in the case of crypto kitties, the buyer can feed the cat, grow more cat(s), and sell at a higher price to the other buyer who wants to buy it.

      Gaming with and without Blockchain:
      In the Gaming world, without blockchain, the equipment is mostly sold only by the company.
      Once a buyer buys any equipment, for example, if we talk about a stick in the 8 ball pool, after buying it, we can not sell it anymore, and there is no record of the buying, which means the value of our asset is depreciating but this is not the case with the blockchain-based games.
      Below are a few differences mentioned between blockchain-based and not blockchain-based gaming.

      Traditional Gaming

      • Use Centralized Database
      • Play to Win
      • Non-Tradeable
      • Assets are not further saleable, so assets are depreciating
      • Lost Revenue
      • Does not empower the creators as much as blockchain does

      Blockchain-Based Gaming

      • Assets are Tradeable:
      • Play to Win and Earn
      • Use Decentralized database/ Blockchain
        *Empowering the creator
      • Fair Monetization:
      • Assets have a record on the blockchain, each piece of equipment is known as a Non-fungible token (NFT). Like other crypto-tokens such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, etc., NFT tokens transactions are also recorded on the blockchain. Players are not afraid to lose their assets.

      Blockchain-Based Games:

      Here is a list of games that are using blockchain for storing NFTs as well as transactions that happen among seller and buyer, to have provable ownership of the assets used in Gaming and make it able to resale to other buyers who are interested in buy-in.

      An asset in a game is known as a non-fungible token(NFT), which basically means not exchangeable on a one-to-one basis. NFT can be associated with a digital or physical asset. NFTs function like FTs, but NFTs can not be divided, you need to buy a whole token, you can not buy a half or some of that as a fungible-tokens, such as you can buy 0.1 of bitcoin but you can not buy 0.2 of a digital cat. A cat in a game is represented as a virtual asset, once it is created, it is assigned a contract address, and a fee is paid to store it on the blockchain, that fee is known as the gas fee, that goes to miners for storing that information on the blockchain. Once it is assigned a contract address, it can never be changed, and once someone buys it, all the information would be stored on the blockchain such as Transaction address, From, To, Gas Fee, Block Address, Time.
      And this information can be verified using the transaction address from anywhere in the world like who sold what to whom, means have provable ownership,

      Keywords: NFT- digital Collectibles, NFT sale from 2020, from $250m to $389 million,

      Crypto Kitties
      Developed on: Ethereum
      Consensus Algorithm: PoW
      Developed By: Dapper, The NFT company, https://www.dapperlabs.com/

      Introduction: CryptoKitties is the second world’s blockchain-based game in existence and the world’s first blockchain-based game that got popularity from all around the world and became the world’s most popular blockchain-based game. This game attracted about 90,000 players from Nov. 2017-2019, the peak time for this game was December 2017 as it had 7000 active players at that time.

      What’s the game about?
      As we can guess, “Crypto-kitties” kitties here are used to represent the cat and crypto means digital. We can call it a digital cat. And the digital cat, similar to the real-life cat, means you can feed the cat, breed it, and it will give birth to a child, and you will own a new saleable digital cat. The game starts with purchasing several digital kitties, and breeding them, then there would be some mutation on their blockchain-based genes, and as a result, the player can get a kitty, and the resulting kitties can be sold for profit to any other buyer who is interested to buy it.

      Tutorial:
      Cryptokitties is available at https://www.cryptokitties.co/. This blockchain-based game is very simple, you need to buy two kitties with Ethereum, you can use MetaMask which is a digital wallet, available at:https://metamask.io/. You can go to the website and explore more about this.

      The story behind the scene:
      Now, the story behind the scene is that a digital kitty is represented as an NFT (ERC-721 token). As already discussed there are two types of tokens, fungible tokens, and non-fungible tokens, first, you need to buy them, and then you bread them and get provable ownership of more ERC-721 tokens, and you can sell those tokens to another buyer just like fungible tokens such as Ether, Bitcoin, BNB, etc., and all the transactions would be recorded on the blockchain. The game itself does not provide enough information about the story behind it such as cryptocurrency and blockchain, you need to investigate to learn about it.

      This is how we can confirm the ownership and check all the transactions related to an account on the blockchain. The view is from the EtherScan, a blockchain explorer for Ethereum, available at: https://etherscan.io/,

      You can copy any of the gamer addresses and paste in the blockchain explorer and check the transaction history, for example, the below-given address, 0x377De8fCE168AF3b045e4bA51e819695f9A058A7

      TownStar
      Town Star is a new game introduced by some of the brilliant minds behind Zynga, FarmVille, and Words With Friends. This game is powered by the Gala blockchain, a system that allows identifying the assets that users own in the game. Within the game, you can buy and sell these assets via non-fungible tokens (NFTs) integrated with the Ethereum blockchain. Check out Town Star on the OpenSea Market, https://opensea.io/collection/town-star

      Tutorial
      When you first join this virtual world, you’re initially introduced to a screen displaying the world map. This entire world is made up of small land plots where you and all your fellow farmers across the globe can settle. These players will provide you with both companionship and valuable trade. From this map, you can choose any Terrain you
      alt text
      would like to set up your operations in. Choose your plot wisely because that choice can mean the difference between succeeding or failing in Town Star.

      When it comes to gameplay, Town Star is well noted for its similarity to FarmVille. Players raise crops on their land, harvest them, combine them with other ingredients, sell them on the market, and reinvest the profits earned to upgrade their farms and buildings. The more profits you earn and the more improved your digital assets are, the more prosperous your town will be.

      Town Star also has a leaderboard where players compete with each other to earn rare in-game items. This motivates players to regularly play the game as breaking their streak will lower their position on the leaderboard and their chances to get better rewards.

      The key to succeeding in Town Star is proper resource management. You’ll frequently find the production of your crops coming to a stop because you have run out of a valuable resource. While there’s no easy solution to this detrimental problem, you’ll eventually figure out how to overcome these issues!

      Use of Blockchain
      As Town Star is connected to the blockchain, players of the game can own the items they either purchase or create. The security of these transactions makes it easier for players to engage in trade without worrying about being scammed. You can hence earn real money by selling these items in the marketplace.

      Conclusion:
      Blockchain based games benefit from the features of apps. Compared to traditional gaming, the items sold by the operators are usually depreciated and not saleable to any other buyer, while in the blockchain world, the items are like real-world assets. Therefore, blockchain games need more security also.

      Readers are suggested to go through the blockchain-based gaming platforms for the experience and know better how they are using blockchain.

    • Using ChainIDE to store and retrieve Employees Information on Blockchain with an interactive interface

      In this beginner tutorial, we introduce a system to store employee data on the blockchain and retrieve the stored data from the blockchain using a front-end web page created using HTML and CSS.

      2ba9a7f4-3591-428b-8899-1fe413b759da-image.png

      Pre-requisite:
      To follow this tutorial, you need to have a basic knowledge of the following programming languages:

      1. HTML: HTML is used to design the structure of the website
      2. JavaScript: Javascript is used for interacting with the deployed smart contracts to store, retrieve, and manipulate information
      3. Solidity: solidity is used for writing down smart contracts

      Tools Requirement:
      Following are the tools that are required to implement this tutorial:

      1. ChainIDE [an online cloud-based, multi-chain IDE] available at: https://chainide.com/. ChainIDE is the world's best IDE with Multi-Chain support.
      2. MetaMask [a wallet for web3], available at: https://metamask.io/.
        Adds MetaMask's legacy window.web3 API to your browser.

      !Note: For this tutorial, you don't need to download any tools or libraries except MetaMask and web3.js.
      Libraries:
      web3.js [web3.js is a collection of libraries that allow you to interact with a local or remote ethereum node using HTTP, IPC, or WebSocket], available at:
      "https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/ethereum/web3.js/dist/web3.min.js"

      Experiment Setup:
      Once you have access to ChainIDE and MetaMask, connect MetaMask to ChainIDE and buy some ethers from a faucet for any of the following test networks:

      1. Ropsten Test Network (suggested)
      2. Kovan Test Network
      3. Rinkbey Test Network
      4. Goreli Test Network

      ae271202-8ab6-478f-8490-e220dbfdaede-image.png

      • To get test ethers from a faucet, simply click choose any of the above-mentioned networks and click on Buy →Test Faucet → Get Ether, and you will be redirected to the selected faucet network. This method varies a little from network to network but all are quite easy.

      • After adding the extension of MetaMask to your browser, make sure you have selected the faucet network.
        Method

      • First of all, we will write down a smart contract that can store the employee's information such as id, first name, last name, address, mobile number, etc.,

      !Note: We'll use ChainIDE for the whole tutorial, ChainIDE supports all the programming languages that are needed to complete this tutorial.

         pragma solidity =>0.5.1 <0.7.0;
      
        contract employees_records
       {
       int id;
       string f_name;
       string last_name;
       string address_;
       string mob_no;
      
      
      function store_information (uint _id, string _f_name, string _last_name, string _address_, string _mob_no ) public 
          {
           id= _id;
           f_name= _f_name;
           last_name= _last_name;
           address_= _address_
           mob_no= _mob_no;
          }
      
      function retrive_information(uint, string, string, string, string) public view returns
          {
           return(id, f_name, last_name, address_, mob_no);
          }
      
        }
      

      Following code is a smart-contract written in solidity that is used to store the employee's information on the blockchain. To make use of this smart contract, we need to deploy it on the blockchain, and before, we can deploy it, we need to compile it.

      The pragma keyword defines the compiler version that we will use to compile the solidity code. Once you have completed writing down your smart contract, simply compile it from the compile panel, and you will get the ABI code for the following solidity code.

      30266b96-dcfc-463c-b3f7-eb91ab513ec4-image.png

      The ABI which is known as the application binary interface is needed when you want to interact with the smart contract using web3.

      Now, the next step is to deploy the complied smart contract.

      3c1097cf-f677-4ff5-b3f6-06fe22b7b906-image.png

      Contract Deployment : To deploy a smart contract, you must need to have some faucet ethers in your wallets to pay a gas fee to deploy for the smart contract. In the figure below, we can see we paid 25 gwei to deploy our "Employee_Records.sol" smart contract.

      Once a smart contract is deployed, it will be assigned a contract address, as we can see in fig.4, highlighted pint 3, and from the interaction panel, we can copy our smart contract address and can check our deployed smart contract on the faucet network also.

      a106408e-613a-48a1-9561-d0b87b683849-image.png

      EtherScan for the Ropsten Test Network: We can see all the information about the contract such as all the transactions information that is made to a smart contract, gas fee used for each transaction, etc., from the EtherScan.
      Until this, we have successfully deployed smart contract on the blockchain and we can interact with the deployed smart contract using the "INTERACT" panel of ChainIDE.

      fef8b81e-6414-48a3-9df9-8fa9851ff0a6-image.png

      But we want to create a custom interface to interact with the deployed smart contract, so for that, we will first create the webpage structure using simple HTML tags and a little CSS to make it good-looking.

            ```<html>
           <head>

      	  border-top-right-radius: 0;
      	}
              }
      

      Until this, our webpage would be like this,

      be2625eb-7686-4817-8097-e5461552c7db-image.png

      A webpage using HTML and CSSThis is just a structure for the webpage, but still not integrated with our deployed smart contract and it can not be used to store value on the blockchain and retrieve the stored values from the blockchain, for that we would need Web3.js, and JavaScript language. The below code needs to be pasted between the
      <script type="text/javascript">
      </script> tags.

                  async function loadWeb3() {
                  if (window.ethereum) {
                    window.web3 = new Web3(window.ethereum);
                   window.ethereum.enable()
              }
          }
      
          async function loadContract() {
              // set ABI
              var abi = [{"inputs":[],"name":"retrive_information","outputs":[{"internalType":"uint256","name":"","type":"uint256"},{"internalType":"string","name":"","type":"string"},{"internalType":"string","name":"","type":"string"},{"internalType":"string","name":"","type":"string"},{"internalType":"string","name":"","type":"string"}],"stateMutability":"view","type":"function"},{"inputs":[{"internalType":"uint256","name":"_id","type":"uint256"},{"internalType":"string","name":"_f_name","type":"string"},{"internalType":"string","name":"_last_name","type":"string"},{"internalType":"string","name":"_address_","type":"string"},{"internalType":"string","name":"_mobno","type":"string"}],"name":"store_information","outputs":[],"stateMutability":"nonpayable","type":"function"}]
              //set contract address
              var contractAddress = '0x43c43eeBBabD4B398e5Fcbf4D5E07b0f12c7Ca4d';
      
              return await new window.web3.eth.Contract(abi,contractAddress);
          }
      
          async function store_information()
          {
      
          await window.contract.methods.store_information(document.getElementById("id").value, document.getElementById("f_name").value, document.getElementById("l_name").value, document.getElementById("address").value, document.getElementById("mob_no").value, ).send({from: '0xE2316234Fb49DaD4D3a57F08ed0BaD3CC590D2B6'})
          .then(function(receipt){
           // receipt can also be a new contract instance, when coming from a "contract.deploy({...}).send()"
           });
      
          }
           async function retrive_information()
          {
              load();
      
              await window.contract.methods.retrive_information().call({from: '0xE2316234Fb49DaD4D3a57F08ed0BaD3CC590D2B6'}, function(error, result){
              document.getElementById("id_1").innerHTML = "Your ID  is : " + result[0];
              document.getElementById("name_1").innerHTML = "Your First Name is : " + result[1];
              document.getElementById("last_name_1").innerHTML = "Your Last Name is : " + result[2];
              document.getElementById("address_1").innerHTML = "Your Address is : " + result[3];
              document.getElementById("mob_no_1").innerHTML = "Your Mobile No is : " + result[4];
      
      
             });
          }
      
            async function load() {
              await loadWeb3();
              window.contract = await loadContract();
          }
          load();
      

      That's all, now, you can use your webpage to store and load your employee's information to/from the blockchain.
      The final look should be like the given image below.

    • Create your first DAPP in just 5 minutes

      To create a DAPP, you need to access an IDE, the most commonly used IDE is ChainIDE, you can access it at: https://chainide.com/. Once you have access to ChainIDE, follow the below-mentioned steps to create your first DAPP.

      Steps to Create Your First DAPP

      1. ChainIDE provides different IDE's for different blockchains such as BSCIDE for Binance Smart Chain, first of all, you need to select a blockchain of your interest. ChainIDE will provide the environment settings according to the chosen blockchain.
      2. The second step is to write down a smart contract according to your requirements.
        Once you finish writing down your smart contract, you need to compile the smart contract using the appropriate compiler version to check if your contract has any errors. If there is any error the compiler will highlight it in the output panel. During compilation, the IDE will show the "Compiling Contract" message in the
      3. After the successful compilation, it's time to deploy the smart contract. To deploy, we need to have a MetaMask wallet and some dummy ethers to pay the gas fee for deploying on the blockchain.
      4. After deployment, you can interact with the deployed smart contract from the "Deploy and Interaction" panel or you can create your own interface for the interaction using web3.
