Course description

They are the protocols that ensure all nodes in a Blockchain network agree on the validity of transactions, maintaining the integrity and trust of the distributed ledger. Without consensus mechanisms, Blockchains would lack the necessary synchronization and agreement among nodes, leading to potential conflicts and security issues.

What will i learn?

  • Define and understand the importance of consensus mechanisms in Blockchain networks.
  • Compare and analyze the strengths, weaknesses, and suitability of various consensus mechanisms.
  • Understand the specific processes and roles involved in popular consensus mechanisms like Proof of Work (PoW) and Proof of Stake (PoS).
  • Evaluate the performance, scalability, energy efficiency, and security implications of consensus mechanisms.

Requirements

  • Basic Understanding of Blockchain Technology
  • Programming Skills
  • Mathematical and Algorithmic Understanding
  • Computer Networking Knowledge
  • Critical Thinking and Problem-Solving Skills

Frequently asked question

An overview of what consensus mechanisms are and their role in blockchain networks.

Explanation of how consensus mechanisms ensure trust, security, and decentralization in blockchain systems.

Description of various consensus algorithms like Proof of Work (PoW), Proof of Stake (PoS), Delegated Proof of Stake (DPoS), Practical Byzantine Fault Tolerance (PBFT), etc.

Module 2. Blockchain Architectures

Blockchain architecture is a distributed ledger system that records transactions across a network of computers in a secure and transparent manner. It consists of three main components: a network of nodes, a consensus mechanism for validating transactions, and a data structure that stores transactions in blocks linked together in a chain. This decentralized structure ensures immutability, transparency, and security, making it suitable for various applications beyond cryptocurrencies, such as supply chain management, voting systems, and digital identity verification..
