Understand the main components of distributed ledgers and blockchains
With the rise of the digital economy, it’s no surprise that cryptocurrencies and blockchains are growing in popularity.
This three-week course from King’s College London and Quant Network will empower you with an understanding of how blockchains and distributed ledgers work as well as their advantages over centralised ledgers.
Once you’ve completed this course, you will have the foundational knowledge that you need to become a blockchain developer.
Be introduced to cryptocurrencies
There are thousands of cryptocurrencies in existence. On this course, you will learn how to develop programs to send and receive payments for BTC, ETH, and XRP.
Importantly, you will also learn about the groundbreaking distributed ledger technology that these cryptocurrencies are built on.
Learn how to build programs that interact with distributed ledger technology
Applications built on distributed ledger technologies (DLTs) are more transparent, promote decentralised control, and are more resilient to software crashes as well as malicious actors.
On this course, you’ll gain the skills needed to create your own applications and programs that can interact with and be built on DLTs.
