Abstract:

Blockchain technology has exhibited many useful applications such as bitcoin, smart contract, voting, IoT, etc. In this talk, the blokchain technology will be introduced in terms of its theoretical foundation and applications. In particular, we will walk through the key path and history the blockchain has been developed and understand the research foci of the crypto community. Hope that from this talk, we could have a good picture of blockchain, its applications and research.
