Decent content and structure but I would have preferred way less political commentary and bitcoin evangelism.
Not much, does not even qualifies to be a course. I did not like it much.
Web3 and Blockchain Fundamentals
There is a lot of hype around Web3 and blockchain. As with any disruptive technology, there are many competing sources of information. But if we look beyond the hype and mania—not to mention the fear, uncertainty, and doubt—we see something profound happening. We are witnessing one of the largest transformations of wealth in human history—from paper-based analog assets to digital ones. Blockchain represents the first native digital medium for value, and is foundational to the next generation of the Internet—also known as Web3. In this short course you’ll learn what Web3 is, and how it differs from Web1 and Web2 in important ways. You’ll explore blockchain as the foundational technology for the Web3 era, and will learn about key concepts, such as digital assets (tokens), smart contracts, decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs), and the blockchain “trilemma.” You will be able to describe seven principles for the design of blockchain-based systems, and seven challenge areas associated with implementing blockchain technology. You will be able to identify the questions one must consider when deciding whether or not blockchain is appropriate for a particular problem or use-case, and you will be able to describe some real-world examples of companies that have integrated blockchain into their business models. This course is non-technical (i.e. no coding required) and is intended for a broad audience. The video material for these courses includes content from our “Blockchain Revolution Specialization” and “Web3 and Blockchain in Global Commerce Specialization,” which has been remixed and re-edited for the purposes of this short course.

Content is really good. Readings stated as 10 mins is not correct. Therefore the course length is certainly more than 3 hours. Otherwise 5 stars,

Reviewed Jan 8, 2025The course was really good. Just one feedback. There was quite a bit of monologue, without accompanying diagrams or pictures. For instance, in the use cases video, the presenters could have used flowcharts to better visualise exactly how blockchain achieves security, record-keeping, cross-checking, traceability of product movements around the world.

Reviewed Jul 22, 2025The reading does help, but can be really long and tedious to read. Boring actually. I like the videos because they make things more concise, but explaining out things work would be more useful if they used more videos and animation, just like the blockchain demo on Youtube.
