Overview
Uplatz provides this in-depth course on Blockchain Fundamentals: From Zero to Hero. It is a self-paced course consisting of video tutorials. You will be awarded Course Completion Certificate at the end of the course.
Blockchain is a decentralized, distributed ledger technology that records transactions across multiple computers in a secure, transparent, and tamper-proof manner. It enables peer-to-peer transactions without the need for intermediaries, ensuring trust and security through cryptographic mechanisms.
How Blockchain Works
- Transaction Initiation – A transaction is initiated by a participant and broadcast to the network.
- Verification – Network participants (nodes) validate the transaction using consensus mechanisms like Proof of Work (PoW) or Proof of Stake (PoS).
- Block Formation – Once verified, the transaction is grouped with other transactions into a block.
- Linking Blocks – The new block is added to the existing blockchain by referencing the hash of the previous block, forming a continuous chain.
- Finalization and Security – The transaction becomes immutable, meaning it cannot be altered or deleted, ensuring transparency and security.
Key Features of Blockchain
- Decentralization – No single entity controls the blockchain; it is maintained by a network of nodes.
- Transparency – Transactions are recorded on a public ledger, making them accessible and verifiable.
- Immutability – Once recorded, data cannot be changed or deleted, ensuring data integrity.
- Security – Transactions are encrypted using cryptographic techniques, making them resistant to fraud and hacking.
- Consensus Mechanism – Transactions are validated through a consensus process, preventing unauthorized modifications.
- Smart Contracts – Self-executing contracts with predefined conditions automate transactions and agreements.
- Efficiency – Eliminates intermediaries, reducing transaction time and costs.
Benefits of Blockchain
- Enhanced Security – Reduces the risk of data breaches and cyberattacks.
- Transparency – Provides a clear and verifiable transaction history.
- Reduced Costs – Minimizes reliance on intermediaries, lowering transaction fees.
- Improved Efficiency – Streamlines processes with automation and faster transaction verification.
- Trust and Integrity – Ensures data accuracy and authenticity through decentralization.
- Supply Chain Optimization – Enables real-time tracking of goods and reduces fraud.
- Financial Inclusion – Provides access to banking services for unbanked populations.
- Tokenization of Assets – Converts physical and digital assets into blockchain-based tokens for easier transferability.
- Immutable Record-Keeping – Ensures secure and tamper-proof documentation.
- Decentralized Applications (dApps) – Enables the development of applications that run without centralized control.
