The Blockchain 201 course is an advanced, year-two module designed to provide a comprehensive, 30-credit deep dive into the practical and theoretical aspects of blockchain technology.  The curriculum is structured to move beyond foundational concepts, focusing on hands-on application and specialized knowledge.  Students will engage with seven distinct modules, each worth five credits, covering critical areas such as advanced ledger security, smart contract development, dApp architecture and the intricacies of token economics.  The course aims to equip students with the skills needed to design, secure and deploy sophisticated blockchain solutions. The course’s learning approach is highly practical, emphasizing guided labs, hands-on exercises, and real-world case studies.  Students will not only develop and deploy smart contracts but also integrate them into full-fledged decentralized applications (dApps).  The curriculum also extends to key industry topics like Decentralized Finance (DeFi) and Layer-2 scaling solutions, ensuring students are familiar with current trends and challenges.  The assessment strategy reflects this practical focus, relying on tangible outputs such as deployed contract repositories, working dApp demos and detailed reports on tokenomics and security. Ultimately, this course culminates in a Capstone Project, where students synthesize their knowledge to build a complex, multi-functional dApp or tokenized workflow.  This final module serves as a practical test of the skills acquired throughout the year, challenging students to address real-world design, security and operational considerations.  The overall structure, from foundational security concepts to advanced governance and interoperability, is carefully designed to prepare students for a career in the rapidly evolving fields of blockchain and decentralized systems.
