Cardano2VN Shares Blockchain Knowledge with UTC Students – March 2025
March was an exciting month for Cardano2VN (C2VN) as we successfully conducted a four-session series introducing fundamental Blockchain concepts to students at the University of Transport and Communications (UTC). With a vibrant and enthusiastic student community eager to learn about Blockchain technology, many of these students aspire to pursue careers in this emerging industry. Through these interactive sessions, C2VN provided a solid foundation for their journey into the world of Blockchain, with a special focus on Cardano.
Course Overview
Over four sessions, we covered essential topics that help students grasp the fundamental principles of Blockchain and how Cardano distinguishes itself from other platforms. Below is a summary of our sessions:
Session 1: Introduction to Blockchain
- What is a blockchain?
- Blockchain generations and evolution
- Understanding SHA-256 and cryptographic hashing
- Immutable Ledger: Ensuring data integrity
- Public Key Encryption: Securing transactions
Session 2: Consensus Mechanisms & Security
- Distributed P2P Network: How Blockchain achieves decentralization
- Digital Signatures: Ensuring authenticity and security
- Consensus Mechanisms:
- Byzantine Fault Tolerance (BFT)
- Defense against attackers
- Proof of Work (PoW), Proof of Stake (PoS), and Delegated Proof of Stake (DPoS)
Session 3: Blockchain Components and Structure
- Transaction Models and their importance
- Block Rewards and Transaction Fees
- Wallets and how they function
- The UTXO Model and how it differs from the account-based model
- Blockchain Addresses and Cardano-Specific Addressing
- Mnemonic Seed Phrase (BIP39) for secure key storage
- Key Derivation and Hierarchical Deterministic Wallets
Session 4: Web3 and Cardano
- Introduction to the Cardano Blockchain
- Cardano’s Architectural Layers
- Ouroboros Consensus Algorithm and how it ensures security
- Web3 Architecture and its impact on decentralization
- Programming the Cardano Blockchain: A Developer’s Perspective
- Cardano Improvement Proposals (CIPs): How Cardano evolves
Why This Matters
The rise of Blockchain technology presents immense opportunities, and students at UTC are keen to explore this field, understanding both its theoretical and practical aspects. Our sessions aimed to bridge the knowledge gap, providing hands-on experience and real-world use cases, especially in the context of Cardano.
Looking Forward
Cardano2VN remains committed to fostering Blockchain education in Vietnam and beyond. We believe that through initiatives like this, we can inspire the next generation of Blockchain developers and researchers.
