1. English version: This course will cover Blockchain, DeFi, Staking Economy, and Tokenomics. The course starts with fundamentals: cryptography and ZK, distributed systems, consensus, trust science, virtual machines & languages, and other building blocks of digital value networks. The foundation above naturally leads the way to blockchains. Next, we present architectures and ecosystems of blockchains, multi-layer, sharding, privacy, security, flexibility (smart contract). Specifically, we strive to address these five aspects:
* Security
* Privacy
* Scalability
* Flexibility (smart contract)
* Algorithms (consensus, batch verification) and analytics
Finally, we emphasize on the applications and real successes. Examples include DeFi, Staking Economy, and Tokenomics. Please also see the speakers list from last semester: Facebook, Google, Microsoft, Sinovation Ventures, Mediatek IOT Blockchain. (國發會區塊鏈聯盟會介紹53個會員公司中玩真的業者們。)

2. Another version: This course will cover Blockchain, DeFi, Staking Economy, and Tokenomics. 如同Google強調 net neutrality, 我們不強調your chain, our chain or their chain. 我們也不會第一堂課就跳到bitcoin or chain，而忽略了基礎：Cryptography and ZK, Distributed Systems, Consensus, Trust Science, Virtual Machines & Languages, 數位經濟服務網路之基礎建設。第二堂後才進入區塊鏈，在講述multi-layer, sharding, privacy, security, 智能合約的架構及生態後，我們總結在五個面向:
* Security (安全性)
* Privacy (隱私性)
* Scalability
* Flexibility (smart contract)
* 算法, 共識及分析 (各類 algorithms and analytics, batch verification)
最後，我們強調區塊鏈應用與實際案例與落地，DeFi, Staking Economy, and Tokenomics 只是其中的例子。國發會區塊鏈聯盟會介紹53個會員公司中玩真的業者們。See speakers list from last semester: Facebook, Google, Microsoft, 創新工廠, 聯發科物聯網區塊鏈。
