How the Stellar Consensus Protocol (SCP) Works

This is a submission for the Build Better on Stellar: Smart Contract Challenge : Create a Tutorial

Your Tutorial

In this tutorial, we’ll explore the Stellar Consensus Protocol (SCP), a key component that ensures security and trust within the Stellar network. Whether you're new to blockchain or an experienced developer, this tutorial will help you understand SCP in simple terms and how it powers Stellar's decentralized transactions.

What I Created

I created a tutorial that explains what the Stellar Consensus Protocol (SCP) is, making it accessible for developers and enthusiasts alike. This tutorial supports the Stellar developer experience by providing a clear, step-by-step explanation of how SCP works, and its importance in maintaining trust within the network. Other developers can use this tutorial to deepen their understanding of SCP or as a foundation for further exploration of Stellar’s blockchain technology.

Journey

The journey to creating this tutorial was both enlightening and rewarding. My motivation came from a desire to simplify complex blockchain concepts like SCP, making them understandable to a broader audience. Through my research and content creation process, I gained a deeper appreciation for how SCP ensures security and decentralization on the Stellar network.

One of the most exciting parts of this project was breaking down technical jargon into everyday language. I’m particularly proud of how the tutorial balances simplicity with depth, offering something valuable for both beginners and more experienced developers.

Looking ahead, I plan to explore more advanced aspects of the Stellar network, such as smart contracts with Soroban, and continue sharing my findings to help others navigate the world of blockchain technology.
