Why this course exists
Most people meet blockchain through headlines about prices. That makes it hard to learn what the technology actually is: a clever combination of old ideas — ledgers, cryptography and networks — arranged so that strangers can keep one shared record without a central keeper.
Open Learning Path explains that combination step by step, the way a good textbook would: one idea at a time, with a diagram, a summary and a few questions to check yourself.
