Course content

2 sections • 13 lectures • 56m total length

  • What is a Blockchain?4:07

    Discover how blockchain structures use blocks and hashes to securely record peer-to-peer Bitcoin transactions without banks, with signing and private keys ensuring integrity.

  • Types of Blockchains3:23

    Compare public, permissioned, and private blockchains, their cryptography-based security, token use, governance, and how decentralization enables Web3 and secure, verifiable ledgers.

  • Three Definitions of Blockchains1:14

    Explore blockchain foundations across finance, logistics, and government with audience-aligned definitions: technical (globally shared, secured, immutable data), business (peer-to-peer value exchange), and legal (corruption-resistant ledger shared without a central intermediary).

  • What Blockchains Do1:21

    Explore how blockchain operates as a peer-to-peer system with no central authority. Explain how a distributed network of independent full nodes maintains data integrity, while cryptocurrencies incentivize network stewardship.

  • Why Blockchains Matter5:58

    Blockchains establish a new trust layer for the internet, enabling distributed data across nodes, user controlled identities with digital wallets, and direct value exchange in web3.

  • The Structure of Blockchains4:43

    Explore how Bitcoin's blockchain uses four full nodes to store the entire ledger, enabling data persistence and trust through a chain of blocks linked by sha-256 hashes.

  • The Blockchain Life Cycle3:23

    Examine how bitcoin created trust among strangers with distributed nodes and secured value, then explore Ethereum’s evolution with smart contracts and erc-20 tokens, plus scaling ideas like sharding and pos.

  • Consensus: The Driving Force of Blockchains2:51

    Explore how blockchain consensus enforces rules without a third party, from bitcoin's proof-of-work to faster, lighter models for known-party transactions.

Requirements

  • No specific knowledge, only need positive mind and great attitude to learn

Description

Welcome to Blockchain Foundations course. If you want to find out what blockchains are and the basics of how to use them.

Many people think blockchains are difficult to understand. They may also think that blockchains are just about cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum, but they’re so much more. Anyone can master the basics of blockchains.

They are everywhere. Companies and governments have started to use blockchain technology in earnest and will increasingly do so for the foreseeable future. It is time to take an in-depth look at blockchain technology, and how you can take advantage of its potential.


This course is suitable for you if you are looking to expand your knowledge of blockchain technology but are not a developer or a programmer. It is about software but not written for technical learners. It assumes that you have little to no knowledge of the subject and will explain topics as simply as possible, while not obscuring details that may affect you. The course will give an insight into the critical differences in blockchain software and will provide you with a basic understanding of how and why they work.

After learning this course, you will be able to speak with confidence on the topic, know key differences in technology, and why they are relevant to you, your organization, and your industry. You will also have critical insight into blockchain software’s inherent limitations and shortcomings.

The popularization of blockchain has shrouded the sector into the realm of alchemy. Attaching the words “tokenization” and “blockchain” have spontaneously transformed the mundane into the magical. This course will demystify the topic and cut through the hype. You will understand the changes that are happening and uncover any pretense.

Who this course is for:

  • People who desire to be a professional blockchain technology handler
