This course offers a comprehensive exploration of key aspects within blockchain technology.
From a technical standpoint, we delve into the origins, concepts, and the current state of blockchain technology. We provide an in-depth explanation of fundamental algorithms, encompassing cryptography, peer-to-peer networks, and smart contracts. Additionally, we introduce prominent platforms and critical mechanisms, such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, Consensus, Security, Privacy and more.
On the non-technical front, we examine the real-world applications, ongoing projects, community dynamics, and the legal landscape surrounding blockchain technology. Furthermore, we introduce concepts like DApp, Web3, DeFi, Stablecoin, RWA, DID, and discuss the challenges, problems, and future trends shaping the trajectory of blockchain technology.
For hands-on experience, this course includes a series of blockchain experiments and projects, providing practical insights into how blockchain operates.
