Training: Blockchain Basics

Blockchain and Web3 have sparked great interest in the industry, as these technologies provide the basis for new business models and the rapid digitalization of existing processes. This opens up new avenues for business model and process innovation and it is high time to explore the potential of the technologies.

This course is organized by the Blockchain Reallabor and is free of charge for companies from the Rhineland region thanks to the funding.

Understanding blockchain basics and Web3 and identifying potential for your company

Learn in our hands-on blockchain training how blockchain can be used to create secure, decentralized networks that enable actors to create an ecosystem for transparent and decentralized transactions. 

With the basic idea of decentralization and other applications, a new version of the Internet is also emerging, Web3, which promises ownership of digital assets and more data sovereignty instead of centralized platforms that are currently causing more and more data protection concerns.

  • Describe the core concepts and application areas of Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO), Decentralized Identities (DIDs) and Smart Contracts
