| # Blockchain Study Program — Prompt Block | |
| Copy everything below this line into your LLM of choice. | |
| --- | |
| CONTEXT FOR LLM: | |
| I want to build a structured self-study program in blockchain development and smart contract security. Below are the topics and resources. Please create a sequenced learning plan based on my background: [describe yourself — e.g. "CS student with Python experience, no blockchain background"]. | |
| Group topics by dependency order. For each topic suggest: what to read/watch, a hands-on exercise, and how I know I've understood it. | |
| --- | |
| TOPICS TO COVER: | |
| Cryptography & Security: | |
| - Zero-knowledge proofs & ZK rollups | |
| - Post-quantum cryptography & migration | |
| - Fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) | |
| - Multi-party computation (MPC) | |
| - Elliptic curve cryptography | |
| - Formal verification (tools: Certora, Halmos) | |
| - MEV, transaction ordering & searcher economics | |
| Architecture & Systems: | |
| - On-chain analytics & privacy limits | |
| - Transaction lifecycle deep dive | |
| - CAP theorem in blockchain context | |
| - Permissionless system design patterns | |
| - Oracle design & manipulation vectors | |
| - Upgrade patterns & proxy contracts | |
| - Cross-chain composability risks | |
| --- | |
| REFERENCE MATERIALS: | |
| Books: | |
| - Mastering Ethereum — Antonopoulos & Wood | |
| - Designing Data-Intensive Applications — Kleppmann | |

| SUGGESTED PROMPT ENDINGS (pick one): | |
| - "Give me a 4-week sprint plan, 2 hours/day" | |
| - "I have 3 months, go deep on security and auditing" | |
| - "Focus only on ZK and cryptography, skip DeFi mechanics" |
