Blockchain Basic Learning Path - From Bitcoin to Web 3.0… the technologies around blockchain
Although some initiatives had been published around those topics earlier, it is back in 2008 that Satoshi Nakamoto introduced the concept of a cryptocurrency (Bitcoin) that could be managed securely and independently from a central authority thanks to the use of a Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) aka blockchain. This technology allows to securely store information in a way that is secure, immutable, transparent and resilient, even in case of malicious behaviors. Since then, blockchain has evolved through different generations, supporting more and more complex use cases and being used in a wide diversity of domains, finance, digital rights, real estate, ehealth… In this learning path, we will cover the basics around blockchain technologies; what are the assumptions, the blocks on which it is building, the opportunities and also the challenges and some examples of usage.
