Blockchain Essentials: From Zero to G6

! Content Under Review !

Course Overview

This course takes participants from having zero knowledge of blockchain to understanding its fundamentals, how G6 operates, and how to interact with blockchain systems. The full course is approximately 5 hours, including breaks. Successful participants get a Statement of Accomplishment, signed by G6 Co-Founders. We cover theory first, but focus on hands-on experience with real-life examples and simple tasks to reinforce learning.

The course materials are publicly accessible, encouring open knowledge sharing and open-source ecosystems.

The only requirement for the course is your sharp attention and a mobile (or laptop) in DND mode. We will install SubWallet during the course.
