課程簡介Course Description

Blockchain technology has the innovative potential to transform businesses and society profoundly. This course provides an in-depth exploration of blockchain technology and the token economy, starting with foundational concepts such as decentralised systems, cryptography, public blockchains, and cryptocurrencies. Students will develop a strong understanding of smart contract mechanics, the economic principles shaping token economies, the applications of decentralised finance (DeFi), and the intersection of blockchain with sustainability. Through an engaging mix of lectures, assignments, and hands-on projects, students will gain both theoretical insights and practical skills, preparing them to navigate and contribute to the evolving blockchain and token economy landscape with confidence and expertise.

This course actively welcomes students from diverse perspectives and backgrounds. Programming ability would be helpful but is not essential.
