Transacionando na Blockchain from Coursera

What's inside

Syllabus

Criptoativos

A Blockchain é o primeiro meio digital nativo para valores. Consequentemente, estamos assistindo a uma das maiores transformações de riqueza na história da humanidade, de analógicos baseados em papel para os digitais. Neste módulo, os alunos irão aprender sobre sete tipos diferentes de cryptoassets, incluindo cryptomoedas, tokens de protocolo, utility tokens , security tokens, natural asset tokens, crypto collectibles, crypto-fiat currencies e stablecoins.

Smart Contracts

Neste módulo, você aprenderá o que os contratos inteligentes são e como eles funcionam. Vamos discutir como contratos inteligentes baseados em blockchain podem permitir que indivíduos e organizações reduzam os custos de transação, minimizem a necessidade da intermediação de terceiros, e melhorem produtividade, segurança e privacidade.

Identidade

O acesso a sistemas grandes e centralizados, como email, seguro de saúde ou conta bancária, requer o fornecimento de vários identificadores - por exemplo, cartões de identificação emitidos pelo governo, senhas auto-selecionadas ou dados biométricos. No entanto, os sistemas baseados em identificadores são problemáticos - tanto administrativamente quanto filosoficamente. Neste módulo, você aprenderá sobre cinco problemas com sistemas baseados em identificadores e explicará como um sistema de identidade auto-soberano distribuído, implantado na blockchain, pode resolver muitos desses problemas.

Repensando as finanças

O atual sistema financeiro global está cheio de ineficiências, desenvolvimentos desiguais e contradições bizarras. A tecnologia Blockchain tem o potencial de trazer mudanças profundas nos serviços financeiros. Neste módulo, você aprenderá como a tecnologia blockchain será disruptiva sobre as principais funções do setor de serviços financeiros, oferecendo a indivíduos e organizações escolhas reais sobre como criar e gerenciar valor.
