The Cryptoeconomic Series: The Basics

THE CRYPTOECONOMIC SERIES: THE BASICS [Part 1/2]
Presented by Protea.io, hosted by the UCT AI & Cryptocurrency Society

ABOUT
Understanding economics is hard as it is. Add cryptography to the mix, and you end up in a groovy wonderland packed with sensory overloads.

Welcome to the land of crypto economics - where entirely new universes are built, and possibilities are palpably close to limitless. The study of crypto economics is fast gaining in popularity, and fundamental building blocks (aka primitives) are advancing on a weekly basis.

This two-part workshop is designed as a hands on crash course that aims to give you the conceptual understanding of core primitives, with the ultimate goal for you to design your own real-world crypto economic use case.

In this first part, we’ll be diving into the basic concepts that are fundamental to understanding how crypto economic primitives can be applied in real world use cases. After participating in this workshop, you should have a solid understanding of relevant core blockchain concepts and what role crypto economics play.
