A Segunda Era da Internet

A Internet conecta bilhões de pessoas ao redor do mundo e é ótima para se comunicar e colaborar on-line. No entanto, porque foi construída para mover e armazenar informações, e não valor, ela tem feito pouco para mudar a forma como fazemos negócios. Agora, pela primeira vez na história humana, duas ou mais partes em qualquer lugar do mundo podem transacionar e fazer negócios ponta-a-ponta usando o blockchain. Neste módulo, introduzimos a blockchain como "o protocolo de confiança", e explicamos como ela representa a segunda era da Internet. Descrevemos como a tecnologia blockchain estabelece a confiança - não através de intermediários poderosos, mas sim através da colaboração, criptografia e código inteligente.

Princípios de design blockchain

Acreditamos que a próxima era da economia digital pode ser moldada em torno de um conjunto de princípios de design da blockchain, que podem ser usados para criar softwares, serviços, reinventar modelos de negócios, mercados, organizações e até mesmo governos. Este módulo enquadra a revolução blockchain em torno de sete princípios de design. Para cada princípio, descrevemos um problema atual a ser resolvido, identificamos os "avanços blockchain" para esses problemas, e discutimos as implicações desses avanços na economia digital. Esperamos que esses princípios de design ajudem os alunos a contemplar seus papéis e seus futuros na revolução blockchain.

Registros Públicos e Privados

O advento da tecnologia blockchain nos força a reconsiderar os pontos positivos e negativos da revelação de transações e contratos. A implementação, aplicação e possível regulação de registros distribuídos envolve escolhas que irão afetar decisivamente a abertura de informação e as interações econômicas. Seja o registro público e não permissionado, tais como as blockchains Bitcoin e Ethereum, ou privado e permissionado, tais como as implementações do Ripple ou o Hyperledger, por princípio as transações na blockchain têm um alto nível nativo de transparência. Neste módulo, você irá aprender como a privacidade pode ser protegida em ambos registros, públicos e privados, usando tanto métodos regulamentares quanto tecnológicos

O Ecossistema Blockchain

Apesar de a tecnologia blockchain ter emergido da comunidade open-source, ela rapidamente atraiu muitos interessados, cada um com histórias, interesses e motivos diferentes. Neste módulo você vai explorar os papéis e perspectivas de nove categorias de partes interessadas dentro do ecossistema blockchain, incluindo pioneiros industriais, capitalistas de risco, desenvolvedores, governos, agências reguladoras, líderes e usuários finais.

Desafios de implementação da Blockchain

Como toda tecnologia revolucionária, a blockchain tem vantagens e desvantagens. Neste módulo, discutimos dez desafios de implementação que devem ser superados, na transição para a segunda era da Internet. Para cada desafio, você também aprenderá sobre possíveis soluções e o que podemos fazer para garantir o cumprimento da promessa da blockchain.
