Slide 2: Introduction to Blockchain

Definition: Blockchain is a decentralized, distributed digital ledger technology that securely records
transactions across multiple computers.

Importance: Ensures transparency, security, and immutability.

Reference: Nakamoto, S. (2008). Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System.

---

Slide 3: What is Blockchain?

Explanation: A blockchain consists of a chain of blocks that are linked together using cryptographic
techniques.

Blockchain as a Ledger: A digital ledger that records every transaction in a permanent and unalterable
manner.

Reference: Tapscott, D., & Tapscott, A. (2016). Blockchain Revolution: How the Technology Behind
Bitcoin and Other Cryptocurrencies is Changing the World.

---

Slide 4: Key Features of Blockchain

Decentralization: No central authority, distributed across peer-to-peer networks.

Immutability: Once data is recorded, it cannot be altered or deleted.

Transparency: Transactions are visible to all network participants.

Security: Cryptography ensures secure transactions.

Reference: Mougayar, W. (2016). The Business Blockchain: Promise, Practice, and the 100-Year Quest to
Reinvent Money.

Slide 5: Blockchain Structure

Block Components:

1. Block Header (contains metadata)

2. Block Body (contains transaction data)

Linking of Blocks: Each block has a hash pointer to the previous block.

Reference: Nakamoto, S. (2008). Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System.

---

Slide 6: How Blockchain Works

Steps in Blockchain:

1. Transaction request

2. Verification of transaction

3. Creating a block with transaction details

4. Block added to the blockchain

5. Finalization of the transaction

Example: A transaction in Bitcoin.

Reference: Nakamoto, S. (2008). Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System.

---

Slide 7: Consensus Mechanisms

Proof of Work (PoW): Miners solve complex problems to validate transactions (used by Bitcoin).

Proof of Stake (PoS): Validators are chosen based on the number of coins they hold and are willing to
"stake".

Delegated Proof of Stake (DPoS): A variation of PoS where stakeholders vote for delegates to validate
transactions.

Reference: Buterin, V. (2013). A Next-Generation Smart Contract and Decentralized Application

Platform.

Slide 8: Types of Blockchain

Public Blockchain: Open to everyone, anyone can join the network (e.g., Bitcoin, Ethereum).

Private Blockchain: Restricted to specific participants, used by enterprises for internal purposes.

Consortium Blockchain: Controlled by a group of organizations.

Reference: Nakamoto, S. (2008). Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System.

---

Slide 9: Blockchain Use Cases

Cryptocurrencies: Bitcoin, Ethereum.

Smart Contracts: Automatically execute agreements when conditions are met (e.g., Ethereum).

Supply Chain Management: Tracking product journeys.

Reference: Tapscott, D., & Tapscott, A. (2016). Blockchain Revolution.

---
Slide 10: Blockchain in Finance

Cross-Border Payments: Blockchain enables faster and cheaper international transfers.

Smart Contracts in Finance: Used to automate financial contracts.

Example: Ripple, a blockchain-powered payment system.

Reference: Mougayar, W. (2016). The Business Blockchain.

---

Slide 11: Blockchain in Healthcare

Data Security: Blockchain ensures secure storage of patient records.

Interoperability: Easier data exchange between healthcare providers.

Example: MedRec, a blockchain-based system for managing medical records.

Slide 12: Blockchain in Supply Chain

Tracking and Transparency: Every step in the supply chain is recorded on the blockchain.

Real-time Data: Facilitates real-time visibility of product status.

Example: IBM’s Food Trust Network for tracking food products.

Reference: Tapscott, D., & Tapscott, A. (2016). Blockchain Revolution.

---

Slide 13: Blockchain in Voting Systems

Transparency and Security: Blockchain can enhance electoral transparency and ensure secure voting.

Reduced Fraud: Tamper-proof digital voting records.

Example: Estonian digital identity and voting system.

Reference: Mougayar, W. (2016). The Business Blockchain.

---

Slide 14: Blockchain in Identity Management

Self-Sovereign Identity: Users control their personal data without relying on centralized authorities.

Decentralized Identity Systems: Users store and manage their identity information securely.

Example: Sovrin, a decentralized identity management system.

Reference: Tapscott, D., & Tapscott, A. (2016). Blockchain Revolution.

---

Slide 15: Blockchain in Intellectual Property

Copyright Management: Blockchain helps secure intellectual property rights and simplifies royalty
management.
Proof of Ownership: Blockchain verifies the authenticity and ownership of digital works.

Reference: Mougayar, W. (2016). The Business Blockchain.

---

Slide 16: Blockchain in Real Estate

Property Transactions: Blockchain simplifies property ownership transfers and record-keeping.

Smart Contracts for Real Estate: Automating legal agreements for property sales.
