课程名称:金融服务区块链导论 课程概述:在这个专业化课程的第一课中,我们将讨论互联网在商业和经济活动中的局限性,并解释区块链技术如何代表未来的方向。完成此课程后,您将能够解释区块链是什么,它是如何工作的,以及它为何具有革命性。您将学习关键概念,如挖矿、哈希、工作量证明、公共密钥密码学和双重支付问题。您将能够描述区块链技术的七个设计原则,以及开发者面临的挑战。同时,您还将认识区块链生态系统中的参与者,并思考自己在推动区块链革命中的角色。 课程大纲: 1. **互联网的第二个时代**: - 讲述互联网如何连接了全球数十亿人,虽然在信息传递方面表现优异,但对商业模式的改变作用有限。区块链作为“信任协议”的出现,使得全球任何两个或多方可以进行点对点的交易。 2. **区块链设计原则**: - 介绍七个设计原则,这些原则可以用于创建软件、服务,重新定义商业模式及其他领域。讨论当前待解决的问题及区块链突破对数字经济的意义。 3. **公共和私人账本**: - 探讨区块链技术如何促使我们重新思考公开交易和合同的利弊。学习如何在公共和私人账本中保护隐私。 4. **区块链生态系统**: - 探索九类区块链生态系统中的参与者,包括行业先驱、风险投资家、开发者、政府及最终用户等,各自的角色和视角。 5. **区块链实施挑战**: - 讨论在过渡到互联网第二时代时区块链面临的十个实施挑战,以及潜在解决方案,确保区块链愿景的实现。 通过此课程,您将获得对区块链技术的深入理解,和应对未来数字经济挑战的能力。
Name:The Second Era of the Internet
Description:The Internet connects billions of people around the world, and is great for communicating and collaborating online. However, because it was built for moving and storing information, and not value, it has done little to change the way we do business. Now, for the first time in human history, two or more parties anywhere in the world can transact and do business peer to peer using the blockchain. In this module we introduce blockchain as “the trust protocol,” and explain how it represents the second era of the Internet. We describe how blockchain technology establishes trust—not through powerful intermediaries, but rather through collaboration, cryptography and clever code.
Name:Blockchain Design Principles
Description:We believe that the next era of the digital economy can be shaped around a set of blockchain design principles, which can be used for creating software, services, reinventing business models, markets, organizations, and even governments. This module frames the blockchain revolution around seven design principles. For each principle we describe a current problem to be solved, identify “blockchain breakthroughs” to these problems, and discuss the implications of these breakthroughs on the digital economy. We hope that these design principles will assist learners in contemplating their roles and their futures in the blockchain revolution.
Name:Public and Private Ledgers
Description:The advent of blockchain technology forces us to reconsider the upside and downside of public revelation of transactions and contracts. The implementation, application, and possible regulation of distributed ledgers involve choices that will critically affect information disclosure and economic interactions. Whether the ledger is public and permissionless, such as the Bitcoin or Ethereum blockchains, or private and permissioned, such as the Ripple or Hyperledger implementations, in principle transactions on a blockchain have a high native level of transparency. In this module, you will learn how privacy can can be protected in both public and private ledgers using both procedural and technological methods.
Name:The Blockchain Ecosystem
Description:Although blockchain technology emerged from the open source community, it quickly attracted many stakeholders, each with different backgrounds, interests, and motives. In this module, you will explore the roles and perspectives of nine categories of stakeholders within the blockchain ecosystem, including industry pioneers, venture capitalists, developers, governments, regulators, leaders, and end users.
Name:Blockchain Implementation Challenges
Description:Like every revolutionary technology, the blockchain has its upside and its downside. In this module we discuss ten implementation challenges which must be overcome as we transition to the second era of the Internet. For each challenge, you will also learn about potential solutions and what we can do to ensure the fulfillment of the blockchain’s promise.
In this first course of the specialization, we will discuss the limitations of the Internet for business and economic activity, and explain how blockchain technology represents the way forward. After completing this course, you will be able to explain what blockchain is, how it works, and why it is revolutionary. You will learn key concepts such as mining, hashing, proof-of-work, public key cryptography, and the double-spend problem. You’ll be able to describe seven design principles for blockchain technology, and the challenges facing the people developing it. You’ll also meet the players in the blockchain ecosystem, and consider your own role in stewarding the blockchain revolution.
