Abstract: Blockchain means different things to different parties. From mining cryptocurrencies to reducing accounting overhead and from supply chain management to smart contracts, blockchain technology serves many different needs. This talk describes the decentralized framework common to most of these applications. We discuss how blockchain delivers transparency, immutability and consensus in a peer-to-peer setting, without focusing on any particular application. Participants would be able to interpret the talk in the context of their backgrounds and interests. No strings attached!
