What this programme is

This programme explains how blockchains work mechanically, so you can evaluate claims about them independently.

You will cover cryptographic building blocks, how consensus is reached, what a smart contract is and is not, and where distributed ledgers genuinely solve a problem that a database does not.

Speculation and price are out of scope. The material is about the technology and its actual applications.

What you will be able to do

  • Explain how a blockchain reaches agreement
  • Describe the cryptography involved in plain terms
  • Distinguish public, private and permissioned ledgers
  • Explain what smart contracts can and cannot do
  • Judge whether a use case needs a blockchain at all
  • Recognise the main technical and regulatory risks
