Blockchain technology is hot! But how does it actually work? To understand a new technology, it always helps to try to build something with it yourself. So that’s what we’re gonna do in this session: building a blockchain from scratch, using plain old java and a little Spring Boot, and getting it working in 40 minutes! During this introductory session, all concepts associated with blockchain technology are explained, such as: transactions, blocks, mining, proof-of-work, and reaching consensus about the state of the blockchain in the blockchain network.
After this session, you will have a better understanding of how blockchains actually work so you can start applying this knowledge to your own projects. There will also be a link to a workshop so you can try it out yourself!
