Ethereum And Challenges In Building Its 
Infrastructure
Want to learn everything related to Ethereum? This article explains the concept of 
Ethereum, covers apps built on this platform, and focuses on challenges in 
building its infrastructure. So let's get started.

The Concept Of Ethereum
Ethereum is defined as a network of computers that operates as a decentralized 
platform without requiring any computing function. It offers a platform to Ethereum 
developers where they can write codes and create dApps (decentralized apps) 
that are globally accessible. To put its definition in a simpler term, we can say that 
it is a distributed public blockchain network and a second-most known 
cryptocurrency after Bitcoin.

 With the growing demand to learn this platform, various online courses and 
training sessions impart certification courses to make you an industry-ready 
Ethereum Expert.

Top Ethereum -Based Applications
Before we discover the challenges, let’s have a quick look at the top Ethereum-
powered applications.
 GitCoin, an Ethereum based platform, pays individuals for working in an open-
source software like Python, Java, HTML, etc. KYC-Chain allows organizations to 
verify their customer’s identities and managing the whole customer lifecycle.

Cent, a user-friendly app, follows a slogan ‘earn income anywhere.’ This 
Ethereum-based app offers individuals an income-generating social network by 
creating content, sharing their views, and much more. Vevue, an Ethereum app, 
monetizes all forms of engagements, thus offers unlimited possibilities to users to 
earn money. With this platform, people can place requests for videos and 
encourage them to share short videos and make money.

Challenges with Ethereum Infrastructure 
 Although Ethereum is full of possible applications, designing its infrastructure 
comes with its own set of challenges. Apart from the problems mentioned below, 
scalability, flexibility, dealing with block times, parity issues are also the concerns 
that one has to deal with while building Ethereum infrastructure. Let's have a look 
at the major issues.

Wallet Initialization- A Prima Concern 
 Just like Bitcoin networks that suffer from backlogs, Ethereum is no more an 
exception. Wallet initialization is the prime concern because if contract creation 
transaction is stuck somehow, but the user started sending another transaction at 
the same time, then it will be impossible for the Ethereum to fire appropriate 
contract events.

Smart Contracts Difficulties
 
Debugging smart contracts while using the Ethereum platform is complicated. This 
is because it is hard to find out where the transaction failed.

Connecting Ethereum Requires Manual Efforts
 For Connecting Ethereum with the rest of the world, it requires manual effort, 
which indicates it adds a burden at the developer end. Moreover, Ethereum 
developers have to set up the whole infrastructure via separate Ethereum nodes 
that lead to unseen hazards.

Conclusion 
 To conclude, we can say that Ethereum has the potential to revolutionalize the 
way we interact with the world. But to accelerate widespread adoption, it is crucial 
to eliminate the challenges that Ethereum is facing. Technical inefficiencies (as 
mentioned-above) need to be eradicated to build a perfect infrastructure.
