About this course:

After a few years of proof-of-concepts, blockchain solutions will now be adopted at scale. The difficulty in scaling from proof-of-concept to fully viable solutions is where many blockchain solutions fail. This course aims to empower the student with tools and knowledge to shape well-thought-out blockchain implementations. Discussions and coursework build on vital insights and real-life learnings to aid in the deployment journey, helping you de-risk early adoption and ensure careful consideration of consequences for permissioned blockchains. The course will also be a great addition to build knowledge and understanding of blockchain technology in more general terms. It introduces key components including laws and regulations, digital identities, personal data handling, smart contract legalities, cybersecurity, governance of blockchain networks, interoperability and others.

Prerequisites

Completion of MGMT X 457.1 Fundamentals of Blockchain Technology course recommended, or prior experience in basic blockchain concepts.
