Top 10 Courses on Blockchain Industry Applications

When the internet was just starting out in the 1980s, opinions were split. Some believed, understandably at the time, that it was just a fad that would not last till the dawn of the millennium. They have, of course, been proved disastrously wrong.

The digital boom of the 21st century that the internet has spawned, has been, and will continue to be, exponential. Blockchain technology, a decentralized, transparent system, is part of the next significant lifestyle change that is introducing trust in global financial systems. This non-intermediary ‘arrangement’ has crept on undetected with most people unaware of how blockchain is shaping their future. Those who DO KNOW, well, their opinions are, again, split on whether blockchain is here to stay.

Internet Predictions Redux.

We are here to connect these two sets of people.

With some theory under our belt, we look at a few case studies to observe blockchain in finance in action. Santander, HMLR, Bullion, Boom, and some more case studies are described in each slide. The problem introduced and the solution that blockchain provides is explained in significant detail. As always, things are never all gung-ho and we study the dowsnides to adopting blockchain in finance as well. This includes a largely unclear legal framework, settling value in real money, scalability, etc. To see the complete picture, without bias, the trainers need to drum this in as well.

An expected reaction to civil unrest is that governments can block civilian access to social media and the internet (We talk about internet in the next and final section). With blockchain, at the risk of repetition, it gives power back to the people, all people.

Click here to access the Comprehensive Training Curriculum on Blockchain Industry Applications

In this part of the module, with a quick introduction to social media, we understand the major concerns with centralized social media, like an increase in bias and polarization. With these concerns in mind, we look at the features of blockchain-based social media, such as in-platform transactions, crowdfunding, etc. We rejoice in how technology contributes to creating a democratic ethos; be it society or monetary transactions.

Its advantages and disadvantages are noted and check out a few such networks like Fediverse, DeSo, and Mastodon. We complete Session X with a discussion on the future of this technology-application amalgamation.

SESSION XI: WEB 3.0

Fun Fact:

The internet we use today, right now, is Web 2.0, aka the second-coming of the internet. Web 1.0 was read-only with static pages (Let’s see if the trainees can find out who was able to publish content in Web 1.0!). Web 2.0 is, as expected, centralized, and we know that the government(s) can unilaterally decide what people can access.

Click here to access the Comprehensive Training Curriculum on Blockchain Industry Applications

It’s just not right, and this is what the next iteration of the internet, Web 3.0, aims to fix. In this section, we go through the evolution of the Internet up to Web 3.0. We learn the concept, key features, supporting framework, use cases, and related technologies of Web 3.0.

With this understanding, we look at the industries where Web 3.0 is expected to bring sudden change; these include DeFi, blockchain in the supply chain, DApps, DeSo, and DAOs. Access the training module to understand what these are, why they are important, and the disruption that is expected.
