About the Course

This course is the definitive introduction to blockchain for both the developer and non-developer audience. Beyond the technology, this course will introduce you to some of the philosophy behind decentralization and why there is so much excitement around it. Join ConsenSys Academy and course instructor Nick Nelson in this rich-media introduction to the foundations of blockchain. During the first three modules, you'll be introduced to blockchain and the technology behind it. In module four, we'll go beyond bitcoin and delve deeper into a next-generation blockchain called Ethereum to introduce you to what modern blockchains can do. The use cases featured in the final module are drawn from among the businesses in ConsenSys portfolio. We believe we're uniquely positioned to present you with a valuable behind-the-scenes look at the people and companies working in this space to help give you a better understanding of the business side of blockchain. Together, we'll examine businesses use cases, hear from industry leaders, and give you the opportunity to develop and analyze a use case yourself. With this course, not only will you be the one who is able to explain blockchain to your colleagues, you'll be well on your way to making educated business decisions with your new, foundational understanding of the technology....

Great course for beginners to gain a good understanding of the blockchain world. However, I'd suggest the content is updated to reflect the current state as of 2023 - Most of the external links are broken, most of the use cases mentioned no longer exist or have evolved into something else and some of the tools mentioned such as Ganache or Truffle are sunset. Nevertheless, the course provides important background and foundations to understand blockchain and the ethereum blockchain and its applications specifically.

Very consice and well presented information. If you´re looking to get a good grasp of what Blockchain is and the potential it has beyond decentralize finance and crypto currencies; this is the course to take. As a downside, the tecnology and use cases are evolving at such a pace that more than once I had to go to external references in order to confirm is the information in the course was still relevant.

The peer grading format is different but sometimes doesn't really work as we have to wait for two peers to do it, and there is no standard to follow. When we think we have a real application case but our peers think otherwise it's difficult to complete the course. Peer grading should only be a percentage required to complete the course, combined with other assessments and exercise. It will kae it fairer.

Good Course, provided a very broad understanding of Bitcoin / Ethereum and the differences. They used multiple speakers / presenters which is good on one side (since it provides diversification), unfortunately from a quality point of view not ALL speakers where at the same level. Nevertheless I can recommend this course anyone who wants to understand the basics of blockchain! Well done!

It's a great course for learning the basics for Blockchain technology. The best part is that this gives you practical use cases of blockchain which are being implemented in the field/ market in the present, which develops more interest for the technology and makes you want to pursue it more. I woud recommend this course to every newbie who wants to learn this tech.

This course covers all the fundamentals related to blockchain. It has been fairly successful in making one understand trivial concepts of blockchains like tokenizing, wallets, keychains with ease. The use cases discussed in this course deal with real life problems that can revolutionize those areas.

Good introduction to Etherum, however disappointed that further technical courses are not available.

Also there is lot of discussions on technical aspects which are left open without clear description how the "stuff" happens. Still this course was time well spent.

It's really helpful for beginners to understand the blockchain technology, but I wanted some practical. I highly recommend beginners to start from this course so that you have an information about what is Blockchain technology and how it's helpful for us.

I stopped after a couple of weeks, and it took me some effort to get to it again. I did like the decision tree to decide whether blockchain is the right solutions and the use of it to choose the right set up.

I liked the course however it was quite a "SHILL" fest towards Ethereum. Very little mention of any other blockchain and the final module was just what I thought to be a big sales of some tokens.

Great content and very interesting concepts in this course. Only downside was that there were so many typos everywhere. I reported a quite a few typos and could probably find more if I tried.

Course provides a good overview of all the keywords used in Ethereum eco system. I would have love to see more explanation on when to use tokens and different ways of incentivizing.

Explains everything in detail even though it doesn't get too technical.

Worth the time and effort, recommend it for anyone who's trying to pursue a career in the Blockchain domain.

Good content, easily digestable. Bias towards Ethereum is natural but undermines it a little bit. Not as technical as I might have hoped, but good high level overview.

Obviously always room for improvement on a bit more about block-chain introduction and more time for learning about these things

It may have been better if there is hands on training about deploying blockchains on ethereum and developing smart contracts

Best videos content on blockchain I've come across but is only let down by the requirement for peer review of final project.

The Use cases could have been explained shorter, as well as the answers on the questions to qualify the use cases

Great introduction, although some of the mateiral is a bit too Ethereum/Consensys oriented rather than general.
