undertake to crack a blockchain developer interview.

1. Learning the Basics
It is important for you to familiarize yourself with the concepts that are integral to 
the blockchain ecosystem. Some of the terms that you must know are blockchain, 
consensus mechanism, decentralized, and mining. Prepare a glossary of terms 
and learn them like the back of your hand. There is a chance that interviewers 
might quiz you on the terms.

2. Learn the Process
Get acquainted with Coinbase or any other cryptocurrency exchange platform and 
purchase cryptocurrencies just to understand how the process works. You do not 
need an extensive portfolio to try this. As you will not be buying many coins, you 
can use a basic online wallet.

These wallets are easy to create and use, and these can be accessed from any 
server or device in the world. But it is important that you understand the working of 
the online wallets. Always make sure that you store the bare minimum needed for 
exchange purposes and not huge sums of money as you will be saving your 
private key on another server. Before appearing for a blockchain developer 
interview, make sure that you know how the exchanges and wallets work.

3. Educate Yourself on Smart Contracts
Be sure to have an in-depth understanding of what smart contracts are and how 
they work. A smart contract is a self-executing contract or a computer protocol 
where the terms of the agreement between a buyer and a seller are written into 
lines of code.

You must be aware of the three desired properties that must be there in a smart 
contract that is terminable, isolated, and deterministic. If you are applying for a 
blockchain developer’s position for the Ethereum blockchain, then it is important 
that you learn the Solidity programming language.
