NIT Patna - FDP on “Blockchain Technology for Next-Generation Applications ”(Hybrid Mode), Apply ASAP
Overview:
NIT Patna is organizing a Faculty Development Program on “Blockchain Technology for Next-Generation Applications ”Hybrid Mode (Offline/Online).Interested candidates can apply.
Blockchain is an emerging platform for developing decentralized applications and data storage, over and beyond its role as a platform for cryptocurrencies.Blockchain is a platform for developing decentralized applications and data storage that utilizes a growing list of records, called blocks, linked together in a chronological sequence using cryptography to keep exchanges secure. Blockchain provides an immutable, decentralized database, or “digital ledger”, of transactions that everyone on the network can see. This network is essentially a chain of computers that must approve an exchange before it can be verified and recorded. Using a blockchain removes the characteristic of infinite reproducibility from a digital asset. It confirms that each unit of value was transferred only once, solving the long-standing problem of double spending. This technology is implemented in various real-time applications. Cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum and Algorand are prominent examples of blockchain technology.
