Introduce to the Brazilian audience, composed of university students and professors, professionals, enthusiasts, and entrepreneurs, to key concepts of the Cardano blockchain technology under the framework of network science.
Syllabus
- What is the blockchain technology?
- Modern blockchain culture
- Social networks & technological networks
- Cardano, Bitcoin and Ethereum mechanics
- Fundamentals of network theory
- Proof-of-stake (PoS) vs Proof-of-work (PoW)
- Cardano and Mass Adoption
This proposal consists of a key idea that focus on a problem that is not covered by any other Challenge in Fund 8.
We aim to offer valuable information to the community on how Cardano poses itself as a spearhead technology designed to include everyone and improve blockchain mechanics. We plan to offer a scientific course entitled "Cardano Science on Networks" that will be exhibited in Brazilian Portuguese by the proposer, Dr. Andre Vilela, Physics Ph. D. and researcher, on a 30 h online course over a three months project.
This activity is similar to other courses lectured by the proposer in his university/institution. We do not identify relevant risks in delivering this solution to the community.
