Overview

The course consists of two parts. In the first part, students learn how to strategically deploy tokens within an ecosystem, such as loyalty points, cryptocurrencies, or digital assets. These digital tokens represent ownership, access rights, certification, and incentives. This is a hands-on course where you will create your own ecosystem. In the second part, students learn how this new ecosystem affects existing financial institutions and what regulatory requirements they should be aware of while applying DLT to products and services in the financial industry.
