Specialization - 12 course series
Introduction to Blockchain Technology
Establishes foundational understanding of blockchain—its architecture, properties, and applications. Students explore decentralization, immutability, transparency, and trustlessness.
Tools / Technologies: Conceptual tools (whiteboard, diagrams), Exploratory platforms like Blockchain Demo, Ethereum.org docs
Assignments : Write a comparative essay on traditional vs decentralized systems; diagram a blockchain transaction flow
Cryptography & Consensus Mechanisms
Deep dive into the cryptographic backbone: hashing, public/private keys, digital signatures, and consensus models (PoW, PoS). Explains “gas” economics.
Tools / Technologies : Hash generators, Metamask (for key generation), Visual PoW simulators
Assignments : Create a simple Python hashing program (SHA-256), illustrate a PoW vs PoS diagram
Programming Fundamentals for Blockchain
Introduces Solidity, JavaScript, and Python as key blockchain languages. Explains difference between core and app-level development.
Tools / Technologies : Solidity (Remix IDE), JavaScript (Node.js setup), Python
Assignments : Setup local dev environment; Write a basic Solidity contract (“Hello Blockchain”) in Remix
Introduction to Smart Contracts & Solidity
Students begin writing deployable code. Covers contract syntax, state variables, functions, and events.
Tools / Technologies : Remix IDE, Solidity compiler
Assignments : Deploy first smart contract on Remix; create simple storage and retrieval contract
Intermediate Smart Contract Development & Security
Focuses on ERC standards (ERC-20, ERC-721), security vulnerabilities, and testing. Students practice writing safer contracts.
Tools : Remix IDE, Hardhat (optional), OpenZeppelin library
Outcome: Build and test ERC-20 and ERC-721 contracts; identify and fix a mock re-entrancy bug
Professional Blockchain Development Tools
Introduces professional toolchains for scalable development. Students move beyond Remix to frameworks like Hardhat & Truffle.
Tools : Hardhat, Truffle, Ganache, Git & GitHub
Outcome: Set up a full Hardhat project, deploy on Ganache, push to GitHub
DApp Frontend Development (Part 1)
Begins frontend integration using React.js and TypeScript. Teaches project structuring and user interface design for DApps.
Tools : React.js, Node.js, VS Code
Outcome : Create a frontend template with wallet connect button; link to local blockchain
DApp Interaction (Part 2)
Teaches communication between frontend and blockchain via libraries like Ethers.js and Web3.js. Introduces Metamask & Etherscan.
Tools : Ethers.js, Web3.js, Wagmi, Metamask, Etherscan .
Outcome : Build a functional full-stack DApp that reads/writes data to blockchain
Advanced Blockchain Concepts & Ecosystems
Introduces scalability, Layer-2 solutions, sidechains, oracles, and modular blockchains. Students analyze Ethereum vs Solana vs Polygon.
Tools : - Polygon testnet, Chainlink (for oracles), Solana docs
Outcome: Write a short report comparing Ethereum & Polygon architectures; simulate an oracle feed
Specialization: DeFi, NFTs, DAOs, and Real-World Use Cases
Students explore major blockchain niches and real-world applications.
Tools : DeFi protocols (Uniswap, Aave testnets), NFT platforms (OpenSea testnet), DAO frameworks (Aragon)
Outcome : Create and deploy a mini DAO or NFT smart contract; explain governance flow
Deployment, DevOps & Security Auditing
Teaches deploying to public testnets/mainnet, CI/CD pipelines, and security audits. Covers testnet mechanics and best practices.
Tools : Goerli Testnet, Hardhat deploy scripts, Slither (security tool), Etherscan verification
Outcome : Deploy a tested smart contract on Goerli, verify on Etherscan, simulate audit process
Capstone Project & Career Development
Final Project synthesizes all skills. Students also develop a blockchain career strategy—portfolio, hackathons, Gitcoin bounties, etc.
Tools : - All tools integrated; Twitter, GitHub, Devpost
Outcome: Build & deploy a complete DApp (token, NFT, or DAO). Present project; submit GitHub repo & report.
