We’ve divided the fundamentals into five parts:

1. The Basics of Blockchain

   • This is for anyone interested in generally learning about blockchain.
   • The content focuses on the concepts and philosophy of blockchain and web3, as well as a general overview of central topics and applications
   • We’ve broken it down into
     • Intro to blockchain
     • Intro to Web3
     • Buzzword Cheatsheet

2. The Applications of Blockchain

   • This is for anyone interested in the theoretical and technical aspects that make up blockchain technologies.
   • The content looks into the types of protocols that make up blockchain networks and how interoperability is achieved in a blockchain ecosystem.
   • We’ve broken it down into
     • Tokens and Tokenization
     • Smart Contracts

3. Overview of the Industry

   • This is for anyone interested in the industry and communities surrounding blockchain. This will be specifically helpful for people preparing for a web3 conference or job search.
