Development Workshop: Decentralized Applications

FREE PIZZA AND BOBA!!!!!

Blockchain at UCI is collaborating with Elastos to teach you how to build decentralized applications and smart contracts! Elastos developer Clarence Liu will introduce Elastos and teach you how to interact with the blockchain, sidechains, Elastos Trinity, and Elastos Carrier. This workshop is designed for students with a basic knowledge of programming and blockchain, but all are welcome to join :)

Introduction to Elastos:
Elastos is a network-based operating system. An OS that uses the blockchain technology to implement peer-to-peer, decentralized, secure, and tamper-proof transfer, storage and trade of digital assets, as well as run decentralized applications and smart contracts, all in one ecosystem.

Elastos aims to create a new kind of Internet, powered by blockchain technology. On this new Internet, people will be able to own digital assets and generate wealth from them. Today, there is a seemingly infinite supply of digital books, movies, music and games. But people do not necessarily own their digital property. You can purchase a digital book, for example, but you can’t sell it to anyone else. So, do you really own it? Elastos wants to make digital assets scarce, identifiable and tradable. Property rights pave the way for wealth creation, and Elastos intends to build a new World Wide Web that respects those rights.

The goal is to create an Internet that allows users to access articles, movies and games directly, without going through a media player or another platform intermediary. Elastos will use blockchain technology to issue IDs for digital content, making it possible to know who owns which digital assets.
Elastos is open-source software whose development process has been sponsored by industry giants such as the Tsinghua Science Park, the TD-SCDMA Industrial Alliance and the Foxconn Group for more than 30 million dollars. Elastos has published more than ten million lines of source code, including four million lines of original source code.
