Free Workshop:
Learn how Smart Contracts can allow end users to cut the middlemen out of almost every industry.
Ethereum was the first major innovation on Bitcoin’s fundamental Blockchain technology. The introduction of “Smart Contracts” - transactions of information governed by code alone - took ake the world by storm. Decentralizing a global computer brings many new possibilities of change and disruption in our world, especially when it comes to battling fraud. In this workshop we’ll discuss what a Smart Contract is and what benefits they provide over standard contracts run in the cloud. We’ll help you visualize how Smart Contracts function so you can understand how the technology may be useful for you, your family, or your business. We’ll deploy a few Smart Contracts in front of you so you can see them in action. Finally, we’ll discuss a few real world use cases so you can get an idea of they’re being used right now.
