Nomadic Labs

After running successfully through all the steps of this training session, you will be able to run a Tezos node (test network/sandboxed), use the Michelson emacs mode, and compile pieces of code in both LIGO and SmartPy.

Tezos Training @ Nomadic Labs

An introduction to Tezos

A general presentation of the Tezos blockchain, including its history, its components, and an overview of the current economic protocol.

The "economic protocol"

A more in-depth presentation of the so-called "economic protocol", the part of Tezos that can be changed through an amendment procedure. This will include:

• Proof of Stake (PoS) versus Proof of Work (PoW)

• Liquid PoS and delegation

• Emmy+: Tezos consensus algorithm

• On-chain governance: the amendment procedure

• Anatomy of an operation and different types of operations

• Anatomy of a block and how operations and blocks are encoded

• Smart contracts overview and gas computation

ZeroKnowledge Proofs in Tezos

Deploy your infra

• Using docker to easily deploy a node from scratch

• Running a backer on zeronet/babylonnet

• Secure your keys with the tezos-signer

• Using tezos-signer and a ledger

• Creating a secure production ready infrastructure

• front-ends nodes

• private mode

• hsm ?

Michelson

• Introduction to Michelson

• Explain how to read a Michelson contract

• Simulate a Michelson contract with Try Michelson

• A simple example on formally verifying Michelson contracts

LIGO

• Introduction to Pascal LIGO language (theory)

• Explain how to read a LIGO contract

• Provide a simple annotated LIGO contract for people to deploy

• Change the LIGO contract to add a few feature

• Deploy the LIGO contract using the tezos-client

Block explorers

• What is a block explorer, how it is made and potential pitfalls

• What is an indexer

• How to read your data using a block explorer

• Explore existing block explorers

• What to look for and how to use them

Monitoring

• How do we monitor the Tezos network?

• Different types of monitors

• Backer-oriented

• Development-oriented

• Which RPCs to call

• How to create a basic monitor with Prometheus and Grafana

Taquito

• Introduction to Taquito: basic module structure

• Setup a simple reason project with Taquito

• Interact with a previously deployed LIGO smart contract

• Reason Taquito bindings

• Setup the inMemory signer

• Setup the tezBridge signer (with a ledger??)

• Get the balance of a smart contract

• Execute a transaction

DAPPS

• Build on the Taquito presentation

• Add React to the mix: setup a Reason/React project using Taquito

• Going thought the structure of a React component

• Add bells and whistles

• CSS and final touches

• Deploy the application with Docker on babylonnet or zeronet
