About This Course

This course goes beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum buzzwords — it is a systems-level exploration of distributed consensus, cryptographic primitives, and decentralised application architecture. Students write and audit smart contracts, simulate Byzantine fault tolerant networks, and analyse real-world DeFi protocol vulnerabilities. A guest lecture series from blockchain engineers at Polygon and CoinSwitch rounds out the curriculum.

What You Will Learn

Understand distributed consensus mechanisms (PoW, PoS, PBFT)

Write and deploy smart contracts using Solidity

Analyze security vulnerabilities in blockchain protocols

Build a decentralized application (DApp) end-to-end
