Advance your expertise with the second track in the Securing the Assets: Bitcoin Security specialization. After building your foundational knowledge in Track 1, this stage takes you deep into the mechanics of transaction and network protection — the heart of Bitcoin’s security model.
You’ll learn how to secure Bitcoin scripts, defend network protocols, and protect wallets from key theft and malware attacks. Through interactive labs and real-world exercises using Bitcoin Core, Electrum, and Blockchair, you’ll analyze vulnerabilities, simulate attacks, and implement countermeasures that keep assets safe.
Each module combines conceptual learning with hands-on tasks, quizzes, and case studies to help you master practical defenses. By the end of this track, you’ll be able to design and test secure transaction flows and network infrastructures - and be ready to move to Track 3: Threats, Strategy & Innovation, the final step toward your Bitcoin+ Security™ certification.
This module introduces the overall certification structure and explains how the learning experience is organized throughout the course. To support different learning preferences, the content is offered in multiple formats, including Videos, eBooks, Audiobooks, and Podcasts. Each format covers the same key concepts, giving you the flexibility to learn in the way that works best for you. You can choose any format based on your preferred learning style and move through the course at your own pace.
