blockchain

This repository is a curated reading list of Chinese-language resources about blockchain technology. There is no runnable code here; it is a structured collection of links organized by topic and difficulty level, intended as a study guide.

The list starts with beginner material: books, industry reports, and introductory articles. It then covers core technical concepts including Merkle trees (the data structure used to organize transactions in Bitcoin), consensus mechanisms (the methods different blockchains use to agree on the current state), cryptography basics, and privacy techniques like zero-knowledge proofs.

The main body of the list is organized around blockchain generations. The first section covers Bitcoin, including links to the original whitepaper, Segregated Witness, and cross-chain technologies like the Lightning Network. The second section covers Ethereum, with links to its whitepaper, smart contract introductions, the Solidity programming language, developer tools like Truffle, and explanations of notable events like the DAO incident. Additional sections cover alternative cryptocurrencies, decentralized storage projects like IPFS and Filecoin, and enterprise blockchain platforms including Hyperledger Fabric and EOS.

The repository also links to a companion project: a Simplified Chinese translation of the official Hyperledger Fabric v1.0.5 documentation, which was an ongoing translation effort at the time the README was written.

Almost all linked resources are in Chinese, pointing to articles on sites like 8btc.com, EthFans, CSDN, and Zhihu. The list appears to have been assembled around 2017 to 2018, when blockchain interest was at a peak, and has not been actively updated since.
