NFT - The future of finance

NFTs are expected to disrupt the financial sector - this session will give an introduction about NFTs and how to implement them in a real use case.

Some technical elements will also be discussed including the implementation details of NFTs in terms of smart contracts and the different types of NFTs.

Blockchain Governance

Understand and compare different governance models pertaining to Blockchains and blockchain-based systems.

Topics to be discussed:
- Importance of Governance models for decentralized systems
- Direct Governance
- Representative Governance
- Importance and relevance of votes
- Responsibility of Governance models
- Elements of Blockchain governance models (consensus, incentives, information, governing structure)
- On-chain and Off-chain governance (importance of oracles)

Blockchain Consensus Algorithms

The session will be about explaining the most popular blockchain consensus algorithms, with a particular focus on their differences and their uses.
Consensus Algorithms determine the level of decentralization of a blockchain and has several implications in terms of energy use, community involvement and general acceptance.

Target Audience
1. Blockchain enthusiasts
2. Blockchain programmers (Ethereum, Bitcoin, PoA, etc.)
3. People who want to start learning about Blockchain and know the real differences between blockchains

Objectives
1. Introduction of basic concepts of Blockchain
2. Focus on the different mechanisms that govern how Blockchains work (consensus algorithms)
3. Impact of these consensus mechanisms on blockchains - popularity, security, adoption, mining, mining pools, etc.
4. Push the idea of real decentralization and dispel the myths about 'false' decentralization

Topic
1. The main topic will be introducing and differentiating about the different consensus algorithms, including Proof of Work, Proof of Stake, Proof of Authority
2. Blockchain does not mean decentralization - decentralization is determined by its consensus algorithms

Takeaways
1. Understanding blockchain
2. Understanding the way blockchains work - the essence of blockchains
3. Understanding why blockchains are such a big deal
4. Understanding decentralization via consensus mechanisms
