Capstone project - Blockchain in Financial Services

Enrollment in this course is by invitation only

ABOUT THE COURSE!

You have completed four courses of Blockchain Developer Program. Having started with Blockchain Basics course, you are provided with a foundation of knowledge about blockchain technology. You have been learning and practicing developing a smart contract, decentralized applications to interact with smart contracts. You also explored two case studies from Akachain and Tomochain, which are typical blockchain platforms providing practical and suitable solutions to the market.

Hope you enjoyed learning the four courses and find yourself ready for this capstone project. In which, you will learn all necessary & mandatory information on basics of finance and develop an application using blockchain. The application is a secured and trustful decentralized exchange that connects all the tokens in the same network (it can be either in Ethereum or TomoChain network) and swaps tokens directly on the platform. Besides programming, you also have chances to practice some standard skills in software development such as requirement analysis, product design, product testing by fulfilling the corresponding documents.
