Abstract
This article presents an educational blockchain simulator intended for training students and beginning blockchain developers. The simulator was created to provide users with an intuitive and accessible tool for learning the basic concepts and mechanisms of blockchain functioning. The article discusses the main aspects of the design and architecture of the simulator, and also provides a demonstration of the application. In addition, the possibilities for further development of the simulator and its potential as a tool for teaching and research in the field of blockchain technologies are discussed. The resulting simulator contributes to the field of education and science, helping to increase the level of competence of specialists and the development of innovative solutions in the field of blockchain.
