Blockchain is a publicly verifiable, distributed, immutable ledger for recording the history of transactions and is composed of blocks in a serialized manner. A block contains a set of transactions, a hash of the previous block, timestamp, block reward, block number, and blocks are secured and bound to each otherusing cryptographic principles. It can be used for a variety of applications like agricultural risk management, financial transactions, smart properties, credential management, internet-of-things, supply chain management, and even decentralized autonomous organizations (DAO). This FDP focuses on providing adequate knowledge in blockchain technology, its components, and working principle. The participants will also learn to build, operate, govern, and develop applications in leading blockchain platforms. The theme of this FDP is to upgrade the technical skills of recent trends in Blockchain and thereby disseminating the gained knowledge to the student community in the right way and serving society with many new inventions in this game-changing field of the era.

This FDP offers a hands-on training covering relevant topics in cryptocurrency and the wider Blockchain. From the technological standpoint, the participants will develop a strong grasp of core Blockchain platforms, understand what Bitcoin it is how works, learn key concepts commonly used in Blockchain, and create an app with Ethereum.
