Build a Blockchain from Scratch in Python

Blocks, proof of work and peer sync behind a small Flask API

1-2 weeks build

Overview

Builds a working blockchain without any framework, so every idea is visible in code: SHA-256 hashing, linked blocks, a mempool of signed transactions and a tunable proof-of-work puzzle. Several Flask nodes run on different ports, register each other and settle disagreements with the longest-valid-chain rule. A small web page shows each node's chain live.

What makes it stand up

  • 01Block structure and SHA-256 chaining written by hand
  • 02Adjustable proof-of-work difficulty
  • 03Transactions signed with ECDSA key pairs
  • 04Multi-node network with longest-valid-chain consensus
  • 05REST endpoints to mine, transact and inspect the chain

Module breakdown

  1. 01

    Chain

    Block class, genesis block and hash-link validation.

  2. 02

    Proof of work

    Nonce search against a leading-zeros target.

  3. 03

    Transactions

    Signing, verification and a pending-transaction pool.

  4. 04

    Networking

    Node registration and chain resolution between peers.

  5. 05

    API

    Flask routes for mining, sending and viewing the chain.

After this, you will be able to

  • Explain why altering one block invalidates every block after it
  • Defend the longest-chain rule and its weaknesses
  • Demo two nodes forking and then converging
