Coding problem1

1. Blockchain technology

I have made a project on the blockchain technology. Major focus was on that project only. I have made a project on Ethereum (Rinkeby Testnet) to send crypto currency from one user to another. It is a Web 3.0 Application built with Next JS, based on smart contract built using Solidity, connected to frontend using ethers.js, web 3.0 authentication using MetaMask and connected to blockchain(Rinkeby Testnet) using Alchemy SuperNode API. Data and information about each transaction is stored in Sanity.io.

The major discussion was on the technology itself and how it works how the blockchain is working and I was questioned about the minute details and a lot of cross questioning was there. Since at that time Ethereum merge was also just happened there was discussion on why it was done and what are it pros and cons.
Then after that my B.tech project was also on the same technology where we were saving the medical records of the patient on the blockchain. There was discussion on how the storage was optimized and how the access control system was working.

After that there were some easy level question of the OS like paging, indexing from DBMS and some question from new age technology and how it would affect us in long run.
