Slide 3: What is Blockchain?

The blockchain is defined as an open ledger that offers decentralization to the parties. In addition, it also offers transparency, immutability, and security. It has many features including being open, distributed, ledger, P2P and permanent.

Blockchain term was first introduced in the white paper of Bitcoin in 2009 by Satoshi Nakamoto. From there, it has come a long way as more and more organizations are interested in it. Right now, Bitcoin is on its way to implementing lightning network and other advanced features.

​

​

Slide 4: How Does a Blockchain Work?

The function of a blockchain is straightforward. As it is a peer-to-peer network, a user needs to start a transaction. Once done, a block is allocated to the said transaction. The transaction block is also broadcasted to the network, and all the nodes in the network get the said information. The block is then mined and validated. It is also added to the chain, followed by a successful transaction.

​

​

Slide 5: Remarkable Benefits of Blockchain Technology

Blockchain technology is feature-rich. It is also extremely beneficial. For example, it lets the user do faster settlement compared to traditional methods. It is also immutable and more secure. When compared to a traditional network, blockchain technology is more capable and have improved network capacity. With decentralization built-in, it can be used to build a shared and distributed blockchain.

​

​

Slide 6: Public vs Private Blockchain Network

The slides discuss the difference between public and private blockchain network. The main difference between them is how they function. Public blockchain network is permissionless whereas the private blockchain is permissioned one. This means that the public blockchain is an open network which is not controlled by anyone. Anyone can access it. The private blockchain, on the other hand, is permissioned which means that there is an authority that manages who can use the network.

​

​

Slide 7: Centralized vs Decentralized vs Distributed Network: An Overview

There is a vital difference between centralized, decentralized and distributed network. That’s what the slide is all about.

• Centralized: All the nodes come under a single authority

• Decentralized: There is no centralized authority and everyone can take part in the network.

• Distributed: Independent nodes interact with each other. Also, each node is interconnected.

​

Slide 10: Smart Contract Explained

Smart contracts are similar to a legal document and create terms between two parties. The two parties that are dealing with using smart contracts. Also, the contracts use public ledger for storage purposes. Smart contracts are triggered when a condition is met, and are completely autonomous. It just executes based on the code that defines the pre-condition. To make sure that they work as intended, they are analyzed and managed by regulators. It is also helpful in understanding trends and predicts market uncertainties.

​

​

Slide 11: How do Smart Contract Work?

Smart contract works between two parties. It is used to do buyer and seller matchmaking. Furthermore, it can be used for transactions. Banks and other institutes can use smart contracts to receive assets and distribute it.

The three key features of smart contracts include registered, automated settlement of contracts and there is no need for the third party.

​

​

Slide 12: Advantage of Smart Contracts?

The slide discusses the advantages of smart contracts. The few advantages include total transparency, no paperwork, total transparency, trustworthy, guaranteed outcomes and so on.

​

​

Slide 13: Disadvantages of Smart Contracts

Smart contracts are not free from disadvantages. It does have some disadvantage. Few of the major disadvantages include error, confidentiality and rouge contracts.

Smart contracts are made up by humans. This makes them open for human-errors. Also, they are not 100% confidential. It can leak some vital info which can be read by a 3rd party. Not only that, there are rouge contracts that can act like a real one and make fraud possible.

​

​

Slide 14: Smart Contracts Use Cases

There are many uses cases for smart contracts. They can be used in different verticals, and can also be used to make things efficient. Few of its main uses cases include trading activities, supply chains, copyright protection, real estate market, government voting, and so on. It also has very useful use cases in Internet-of-things(IoT) where it can help protect the network as well.

Slide 15: Is the Blockchain Overhyped?

Is the blockchain overhyped? It is one of the biggest questions that need to be addressed. The general population doesn’t understand what blockchain has to offer. This leads to assumptions and many calling it overhyped. Right now, the blockchain technology is not yet one decade old. We have already crossed the disappointment phase and are moving towards a better implementation in the future. Bitcoin, for example, will see new updates soon. Other blockchain technologies are also innovating at a rapid pace.

​

​

Slide 16: 9 Verticals of Blockchain Transformations

Slide 17: 2017-2018 Leading Sectors

There are also many sectors that are leading in the blockchain technology implementation. The two sectors that are leading the most include Fintech and supply chains. However, that’s not all as there are other sectors which are slowly but steadily adopting blockchain technology including healthcare, shipping, retail, insurance, and mining. With time, we will see almost every sector to use some form of blockchain technology. Few sectors will see better implementation due to better suitability than other sectors.

Enterprises are very keen on implementing blockchain. We covered them in detail in this post.

​

​

Slide 18: Web 3.0: The Successor of Web 2.0

Blockchain will also begin Web 3.0 which is the 3rd generation of the internet. The internet will take advantage of the blockchain network and bring a truly decentralized network that is way more advanced than what we have right now. The current web is more focused on server-based databases and hence provide limited functionality. The new internet will be more focused on users which means that it will be better connected and offer a secure platform for everyone out there.

​

​

Slide 19: Web 3.0 Benefits

This slide continues with the topic of Web 3.0 and lists Web 3.0 benefits. As discussed earlier, Web 3.0 offers better functionality and features. It will be permissionless which means that there will be no centralized authority controlling it. It will also be free from any monopoly and will also provide tons of privacy to the users. The network is secure, and the data ownership stays with the end users who can keep it to themselves or sell it to the media companies. The Web 3.0 will also be ubiquitous and offer a semantic web.

​

Slide 20: Remember: Centralized vs Decentralized Internet

The core difference between the centralized and decentralized network is the absence of central authority. It is a decentralized internet which has its unique data flow, new business models and dApps. The slide also presents the difference in a visual way.

​

​

Slide 21: Web 3.0 Ecosystem

In the end, we will get a Web 3.0 ecosystem will be better and offer a wide variety of services. The slide list the different components of the ecosystem and gives you a glimpse of what you can expect from the Web 3.0. Each component or service is also presented with an example which gives you a glimpse of what to expect from Web 3.0.

Slide 22: Bonus #1: Blockchain vs Database

The blockchain is decentralized which also stores data. However, it is different from databases. In this slide, we discuss the blockchain vs. database topic. The four categories in which they differ include writing access, cost, integrity, and trust. The major difference is, of course, the absence of a centralized authority. Data written on blockchain is also immutable which in turn provides integrity. The database, on the other hand, offers you CRUD operation. There are also significant differences which are covered in the slide itself.
 

​

Slide 23:  Bonus#2: Different Types of Tokens
