Prerequisite : Data structure


Rationale : Traditional database technologies poses several challenges for recording
transactions. Blockchain creates a decentralized, tamper-proof system to record
transactions. Blockchain is an irreversible record of transactions, which cannot be
changed, none of the transaction can be deleted or destroyed. Blockchain is used
in the creation of various cryptocurrencies, decentralized finance applications,
non-fungible tokens and smart contracts.

and Securing Distributed Blockchain-based Projects Paperback by Elad Elrom, Apress publication

Suggested Course Practical List:

1. Create a Blockchain for the students of class ME sem 2 to keep track of their ME scorecard.
Integrate IPFS to store the data.
2. Analyze any Fintech platform to check the implementation of Blockchain and write the case
study.
3. Develop a blockchain-based voting system. When a vote is saved in the blockchain, it should
be tracked in real time, and it can never be changed.
4. Write a smart contract in which anyone can deposit ether in owner’s account but only owner
can withdraw the ether.
5. Develop a crowd funding problem in which a user wants to generate fund of 20000 currencies
for Green Energy project. Develop wallet which takes the funds and when the 20000 fund is
received, it generates the message that “ Funding achieved”
6. Develop a smart contract in supply chain management, to track the movement of goods and
ensure that they meet quality standards before payment is released.
