Bitcoin Infrastructure - rules and their enforcement

In this chapter of the course on Bitcoin Infrastructure, you will learn about the protocol rules that ensure the validity of transactions and blocks in the Bitcoin network. Discover how nodes operate the network by enforcing these rules and ensuring that only valid information is accepted. Find out how transactions and blocks are broadcasted and how nodes work to maintain the integrity of the network.

Bitcoin Infrastructure - Transactions, Payment Channels and Mempools

In this section of the Bitcoin Theory course you will learn how a transaction is built, what happens when it is received by a node, and how the form of a transaction may influence how a node operator processes it, in the context of the local rules.

Bitcoin Infrastructure - Block Assembly

Learn how nodes on the Bitcoin network ensure that transactions and blocks are valid with a series of protocol rules enforced by collective participants. Discover how the protocols are enforced to protect against malicious actors and how blocks are constituted within the network.

Bitcoin Infrastructure - The Small World Network

This chapter of the Bitcoin Infrastructure course teaches you how nodes maintain the Bitcoin network by following directives from the whitepaper and managing them under a set of rules enforced by Nakamoto Consensus. It explains how these directives create an incentive-driven interconnected behavior that leads to the nodes forming a 'Small World Network'. Learn how this decentralized system remains robust even when nodes leave or are disconnected.
