Course Overview

Discover Smart Contracts. Smart contracts will be a critical component of the future of business. With the practical, real-world use cases for decentralized databases and smart contract applications predicted by PwC to reach more than US $1.75 billion by 2030, it is predicted that these automated, programmable agreements will reshape how business is conducted across diverse industries, with major impacts on sectors that currently suffer a “trust deficit” between counterparties and rely on slow, inaccurate, and expensive manual processes. With the knowledge gained in this introductory course, you will be able to describe the content of the industry-specific courses and focus on concepts including smart contract terminology and technology components, ways that smart contracts are used on blockchain platforms, the intersection between smart contracts and digital assets, and use cases and market adoption.
