Can this skill help with real-world code implementation?

Yes, it includes production-grade code examples for tasks like verifying Merkle proofs, calculating block hashes, and recovering message signatures using Python and Ethereum-standard libraries.

How do I adjust the complexity of the information provided?

The skill supports a 'depth' parameter ranging from basic to expert, allowing you to tailor the technical complexity of the explanations and code to your specific needs.

Is this skill specific to a particular blockchain like Ethereum or Bitcoin?

No, while it uses common standards like ECDSA and SHA-256 for examples, the principles covered are universal fundamentals applicable to most major blockchain architectures.

What topics does the Blockchain Basics skill cover?

It covers four main pillars: Consensus Mechanisms (PoW, PoS, BFT), Cryptographic Foundations (Hashes, Signatures, Merkle Trees), Network Architecture (P2P, Node types), and Transaction Lifecycles.
