COURSE DESCRIPTION:

This course provides an in-depth exploration of blockchain technology, covering its core principles, various applications, and the decentralized systems that support cryptocurrencies, smart contracts, and decentralized applications (dApps).
Participants will gain a solid understanding of distributed ledger technology, cryptographic protocols, consensus algorithms, and the architecture of blockchain networks such as Bitcoin and Ethereum. The curriculum also examines practical applications beyond cryptocurrencies, including supply chain management, digital identity verification, and financial services.
Through practical labs, students will acquire the skills necessary to develop blockchain-based solutions, create smart contracts using platforms like Ethereum (Solidity), and utilize frameworks such as Hyperledger Fabric. The course culminates in a capstone project where students will design and implement their own blockchain solution.
