About this Specialization
Applied Learning Project
In the final course, learners will synthesize their learning into a project deliverable called a Blockchain Opportunity Analysis. Here, learners will identify a specific need or problem in global commerce that could potentially be solved using blockchain or Web3 technologies. Learners will then investigate possible solutions to this problem, including the business model considerations required to bring this idea to fruition. As an outcome of this Specialization, learners will walk away with a consolidated, peer-reviewed Blockchain Opportunity Analysis, which can be used to pitch their idea to their organization or to potential investors.
