Blockchain, or Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) offers a radically different paradigm of storing and managing information online. Decentralised ledgers lack the points of failure and associated security issues of traditional databases and top-down protocols. However, they do have their own unique challenges for effective deployment and maintenance. The topic of this presentation is how we, as developers, can create innovative applications that build upon this architecture. We’ll discuss relevant use cases as well as actual code to get you started.
