Identify the flaws in the current system, such as no rules and no judge, and explain how monopolies and centralization drive high fees, motivating blockchain adoption.
Examine how trust in people, organizations, and centralized power fails, and why blockchain technology is introduced to counter asymmetric power.
Explore how blockchain functions as a network, database, and world computer to address monopoly, centralization, and trust issues, enabling transparent, global consensus and secure applications like Bitcoin.
Explore how blockchain provides trust by keeping data immutable and enforcing promised rules across a secure, global network, ensuring integrity, availability, and confidentiality.
Discover how blockchain secures transactions through automated, code-driven processes that run without intermediaries, delivering trust in the contract and automatic payment and delivery workflows.
Explore the fundamentals of blockchain technology by viewing it as blocks linked in a fixed sequence, distinct from bitcoin, and see why centralization undermines trust.
Explain how block contents capture financial transactions, including sender, amount, and recipient, plus creation time, block number, and the hashes that link blocks and ensure immutability.
Explore how a hash function converts any input into a fixed 256-bit output, enabling secure, immutable blockchain links by hashing block data, timestamps, and previous hashes.
Explore how hashing creates fixed-size outputs and links blocks into a global blockchain, ensuring immutability as altered data requires changing many blocks across thousands of nodes.
Understand how hash functions group blocks, why multiple copies exist, and how consensus checks in a bitcoin-like transaction system validate transfers before a new block is accepted.
Broadcast a transaction to the blockchain network, verify unspent transactions, and elect a block proposer by proof of work. Then propagate the block with the previous hash to achieve agreement.
Explore how blockchain consensus selects a block proposer via proof of work, and compare it to wealth-based proof of stake, illustrated by a class monitor analogy.
Explore how proof of work in Bitcoin's blockchain builds consensus by requiring participants to solve hash puzzles, producing blocks with leading zeros and heavy computation.
This lecture explains how proof of work underpins blockchain consensus, how miners solve puzzles to propose blocks, and how transaction fees and new block rewards incentivize mining.
Explore how blockchain forms by linking blocks with hashes, storing transactions, and securing ownership through public-private key cryptography, addresses, and proof-of-work mining.
Discover how blockchain smart contracts encode legal terms into self-enforcing code that automatically executes payments and penalties, with IoT feeds and on-chain enforcement replacing traditional audits and judiciary.
Discover how smart contracts automate audits and governance, enabling salary and dividend distributions, trust-based platforms, and blockchain-powered search, banking, and marketplace operations with built-in consensus.
Explore how blockchain can enhance authentication by reducing data exposure and preventing biometric template replication, addressing current issues with revealing Aadhaar or SSN details.
Explore how asymmetric key cryptography enhances authentication by using private-key signing and public-key verification of biometric templates, enabling secure, verifiable access via digital signatures.
Explore how zero knowledge proof enables authentication without revealing private keys, addressing brute force and online verification, with examples from bitcoin, biometric templates, and subscription numbers.
Learn how zero-knowledge proofs authenticate possession by converting a secret into a public proof, enabling verification without revealing the number, using public keys and lambda-based proofs.
Demonstrate real-world zero-knowledge proof authentication to verify identity and attributes like driving licenses, citizenship, and age, without exposing sensitive data, using secure proofs.
Do you know Why do we need Blockchain Technology?
There are serious problems with existing systems. Unless we understand the problems, chances are high that we will never create meaningfully beautiful.
There is a lot of buzz for blockchain Technology; hardly any course presents this profound technology in easy to understand manner.
How do we handle the skewed power residing in a few monopolies? The game's rules don't apply to them, and people trust the people believing they would do their best for them. Does it always happen?
The answer is No! How blockchain addresses the burning issues is discussed in this course.
This course builds up from
- What are the big problems faced that need a solution
- Where should I use blockchain and How?
- Problems in various industries are solvable using Blockchain.
- The success of commercial Authentication applications.
After studying the course, users will clearly understand this technology and confidently use it in their daily life.
This course is for you if you are over 12 years old and want to learn this profound technology.
After training over 600 people over the last two years, I have presented the knowledge in the most lucid manner you can digest, understand, and apply.
Unlike other courses, this course starts with a problem. And keeps track of how problems are solved using this technology.
The use of Zero-knowledge Proof for authentication and various other fields has been extensively presented. This paves the way for a path-breaking and disruptive future.
