By the end of the workshop you will be able to understand the various types of blockchains & recommend the right blockchain technology for different use-cases at your organization (for complete description & registration please use this link
Background: The bulk of businesses utilizing blockchain technology are implementing enterprise blockchains such as Hyperledger Fabric or Corda, which are private. On the other hand, many bitcoin/blockchain enthusiasts believe in the public nature of the technology. Bitcoin, Ethereum & other crypto-currencies are based on public blockchains.
In addition to an overview, this workshop will focus on analyzing & comparing enterprise blockchains in order to determine which type of technology is suitable (and if it's suitable) for your organization. There will be heavy emphasis on use cases throughout the session.
Topics we will cover include:
- Overview of public vs private blockchain technology.
- Does my business need to decentralize? Will blockchain bring benefits? (or am I thinking about it because it's a buzzword?).
- Adapting/transforming business & your tech talent needs: do I need (and how do I find) blockchain developers? How do I update & educate my current team? Do they need to learn another coding language (what's solidity?)?
- ICOs & benefits of public ethereum - why are cryptocurrencies using it? Should I implement it for a potential ICO down the line?
Enterprise blockchains covered include:
-Hyperledger-Fabric
- R3-Corda
- Quorum from JPM
We will compare different aspects of these technologies such as:
-Consensus mechanisms - Proof of work (PoW), Proof of Stake, Byzantine Fault Tolerance
- Data Models
- Data permissions & privacy
- Smart-Contracts
Applications & use cases - explore the kinds of business problems best suited to each technology
Example recommendations & walk through with audience
