Introduction to Blockchain Technologies

О курсе

Blockchain technology is changing how businesses, financial institutions, governments, and individuals exchange value and information online. But what exactly is a blockchain, and how does it work? This course provides a clear introduction to blockchain technology and the ideas behind it. You'll learn how blockchains create trust without relying on a central authority, how decentralized networks work, and the key design principles that shape blockchain systems. You'll explore cryptocurrencies, digital assets, smart contracts, and the broader blockchain ecosystem, while examining where the technology has delivered real-world value and where significant challenges remain. No coding or finance background is required. By the end of the course, you'll have a practical foundation in blockchain technology and be able to explain how it works, why it matters, and where it may be headed next.
