This course has been designed for developers and project managers who would like to experiment with Blockchain in their products and projects. The course gives a basic know how on how to set up your own blockchain network using IBM Bluemix.

Please note: Owing to limited learning options and everything already being pre-setup on Bluemix, it is used only for college students and in corporate cases we will be using AWS instance or virtual machines to setup the complete hyperledger fabric setup from scratch so as to accelerate the practical and handson knowledge absorption of the particpants.

Your engineering team serves as the architect of the digital transformation journey for your clients. This proposal presents a 3-Day Technical Deep Dive tailored specifically for developers and technical architects. We transition from discussing the "why" to focusing on the "how": how to design decentralized ledgers, how to write secure Smart Contracts for Supply Chain Finance (SCF) logic, and how to integrate these decentralized layers with existing enterprise ERPs.

Upon completing this training, participants will be able to:

• Architect DLT Solutions: Differentiate between and select the appropriate Layer-1/Layer-2 solutions (such as Ethereum, Hyperledger Fabric, and Polygon) for enterprise SCF use cases.
• Develop Smart Contracts: Write, compile, and deploy Smart Contracts (e.g., using Solidity or Chaincode) to automate processes such as factoring, invoice approval, and settlement.
• Implement Tokenization: Engineer ERC-20/ERC-721/ERC-1155 token standards to represent real-world assets (like invoices and inventory) on-chain.
• Bridge Web2 & Web3: Design the integration layer using Oracles (e.g., Chainlink) to retrieve off-chain data (such as logistics APIs) and trigger on-chain payments.
