区块链技术阅读列表

有很多值得学习的区块链技术资源，在这里稍微总结了一下。因为不想再多一个 markdown repo，所以把它放在了 blockchain-tutorial 的 wiki 。目前只有英文链接，实际上有很多内容已经有了中文翻译，有时间我会慢慢补充进来，也欢迎大家贡献，编辑 wiki 即可。

熊市更是积累技术的时候，代码强的可以直接从源码学习，GitHub 上项目很多, 从 Bitcoin, Ethereum 到 Cardano, Polkadot，都是学习的好资源。喜欢从阅读入手的，不妨看一下这个 reading list :(

插播一条广告：链池正在招人！感兴趣的请发简历到 [email protected]。我们打算基于 substrate 做点事情，详情欢迎来信交流。

substrate 是一个一键起链的区块链框架，你可以理解成 react, vue 之类的前端框架，由 Gavin Wood 带领的 parity 团队打造，Gavin Wood 是前以太坊 CTO，parity 团队可能是这个世界上目前区块链技术最强的团队了（虽然之前出过多签事故+_+），值得期待。目前区块链的基础设施还很不完善，substrate 的出现是一个方向，在未来很可能会改善这一点。substrate 是 Rust 写的，Rust 小能手千万不要错过！
