Training program

Architecture blockchain — distributed ledger, blocks, hash chain, Merkle tree, immutability, decentralization vs centralization
Consensus mechanisms — Proof of Work vs Proof of Stake vs BFT, energy efficiency, finality, throughput — comparison
Blockchain platforms — Ethereum (EVM, Solidity), Hyperledger Fabric (permissioned), Polygon, Solana — when to use which
Smart contracts — what they are, how they work, applications (escrow, SLA, automatic payments), limitations (oracle problem)
Public vs private vs consortium blockchain — differences, trade-offs (decentralization vs control vs performance)
Workshop: case analysis — 'does my organization need blockchain?' (decision framework, alternatives)

Use cases — finance (DeFi, cross-border payments, asset tokenization), supply chain (traceability, provenance), digital identity (SSI)
Tokenomics — utility vs security tokens, NFT, economic model, regulations (MiCA, KNF)
Feasibility assessment — 'blockchain vs database' framework (when blockchain is NOT the answer), cost and risk analysis
Deployment roadmap — from PoC to production, platform selection, integration with existing systems, consortium governance
ROI and business case — cost calculation (gas fees, infrastructure, development), measurable benefits, timeline
Workshop: building a business case for blockchain in the participant's organization — platform selection, roadmap, presentation
