Understanding Blockchain & Web3
A comprehensive curriculum covering blockchain technology from foundational distributed ledger concepts through advanced Web3 development. Learners progress from understanding how blockchains work and why they matter, through cryptography, consensus mechanisms, smart contracts, DeFi protocols, NFTs, DAOs, and hands-on Web3 development. By the end, learners can evaluate crypto projects critically, read and reason about smart contracts, and build decentralized applications.
