Are Commerce Graduate/CA/CMA eligible to do Blockchain Technology Certification? or is this a purely technical thing i.e only an engineer can do?

please suggest.

If you are looking to start a career in blockchain, you need to ask yourself what part of it do you want to be in. For example, if someone tells you “I want to work in software industry”, you would ask him - “Do you want to be a developer, tester, architect, consultant, marketing, sales?”

The same question applies here. But let me consider that you want to be a developer, here’s what you need to know - a basic bachelor’s degree is good to have.

You should know Ethereum development, Solidity, Truffle, JavaScript, TestRPC. Because most startups or organizations are looking to build on the Ethereum.

The demand for developers are huge and there are not many professionals available in the market today.

So if you can go over the internet, try to grab the basics of blockchain and smart contract development and develop a couple of applications on TestRPC and know how to deploy on the Ethereum, you are good to go.
