School of Blockchain

Not crypto. Blockchain — as computer science and as institution.

Blockchain is treated here as a branch of computer science and a study of institutional design, not as a market. The school moves from cryptographic primitives through Bitcoin and Ethereum to protocol engineering and advanced cryptographic research.
