Abstract
This step lays the foundation of our learning path through the blockchain by introducing a way to organize and standardize our communication about technology. This step explains how you can analyze a software system and why it is important to consider a software system as a composition of layers. Furthermore, this step illustrates what you can gain from considering different layers in a system and how this approach helps us to understand the blockchain. Finally, this step provides a short introduction to the concept of software integrity and highlights its importance.
