Hands-on Lab with Multichain

Hands-on Lab with Multichain (FIN555)

Synopsis

FIN555 Hands-on Lab with Multichain focuses on hands-on lab training and lay a solid foundation in the architecture of Multichain. Multichain is a fork of Bitcoin Core and is designed with maximal compatibility with the Bitcoin protocol in mind. Because the Bitcoin protocol is by far the most mature and proven public blockchain technology in the world, this makes Multichain a very suitable candidate for developing real world production-grade applications. After this course, students are expected to have grasped the knowledge and programming skills in building a private blockchain network, designing and transacting assets, as well as forking a new blockchain to specific use. The course aims to build students’ capabilities in assessing and designing variants of Bitcoin in the market independently.
