Summary

In this chapter, we discussed various components of Ethereum, its execution, network, and accounts, and there was a detailed study of Ethereum's clients. We also discussed gas and EVM, including its environment and how an execution process works. Finally, we discussed the Ethereum block and its block header, the Ethereum algorithm, and the procurement of ether.

In the next chapter, we will learn about Solidity, the official and standard language for contract writing on Ethereum blockchain. Learning about Solidity will help us gain a better understanding of smart contract development and deployment.
