Most blockchain books teach the theory. This one teaches you to build it.

Across 33 chapters and 768 pages, Rust Blockchain: A Full-Stack Implementation Guide takes a production-quality blockchain system from the Bitcoin whitepaper to a running, deployable application.

Every chapter ends with code that compiles and runs. By the final chapter, you have a working blockchain — networking, consensus, persistence, REST API, desktop wallet, container deployment, and all.

Written for Rust developers exploring blockchain, blockchain engineers exploring Rust, and anyone who wants to understand how the pieces of a real distributed system actually fit together.

What you'll build

Cryptographic primitives: SHA-256 hashing, Schnorr signatures, secp256k1 key generation, Base58 addresses
The transaction model: UTXO accounting, script verification, mempool admission, double-spend prevention
Proof-of-work consensus: difficulty adjustment, mining loop fork choice
Full networking layer: peer discovery, gossip protocols, async I/O with Tokio
Persistent storage: chain state, UTXO set, encrypted local storage with SQLCipher
REST API layer: Axum routes, middleware, OpenAPI documentation
Two desktop wallets: one in pure Rust (Iced) and one in Rust + React (Tauri 2)
Production deployment: Docker Compose for development, Kubernetes for scale

What makes this book different

It's a single system, not a tour of unrelated topics. Every chapter builds on the last; the code at the end of Chapter 33 contains everything you wrote across the previous 32.
The full source code is on GitHub, MIT-licensed. Clone it, build it, modify it.
The book reads like an engineering walkthrough, not a reference manual. You see the same code change three times — first the obvious version, then the version after the trade-off becomes clear, then the production version.
Twelve+ technologies covered through one cohesive project: Rust, Tokio, Axum, Iced, Tauri 2, SQLCipher, Docker, Kubernetes, secp256k1, Schnorr, ring, and more.

What you get

The full PDF (color, syntax-highlighted, 768 pages) and the EPUB(optimized for any e-reader). Pay what you want, with a $24.99 minimum and a $39.99 suggested price.

The companion source code athttps://github.com/bkunyiha/rust-blockchain is free to clone whether you buy the book or not — but the book is what makes the code make sense.
