The blockchain network, originated from a cryptocurrency, serves as a decentralised and tamperproof transaction data ledger. Blockchain is becoming more pervasive in society. You might have heard of it, you might know or even own bitcoin, but you might also be wondering, what is blockchain? Through hands-on workshops, you will learn the foundation of blockchain networks.

In this course you will learn how blockchain enables you to create immutable ledgers. You will analyse the concept, principles and technologies related to blockchain applications, including Peer-to-Peer networks, cryptography, proof-of-work of Bitcoin and consensus mechanism.

In this course, you'll examine transparent and secure solutions within a decentralized environment, fostering the development of critical-thinking skills essential for problem-solving and the proposition of secure resolutions tailored to decentralized networks.
