Blockchain Engineering - class of 2023

[synctext]

<Placeholder for notes, master course is expected to start Feb 2023>

• Core blockchain technology
  • security end-to-end open, auditable, verifiable correctness and open source biometrics (thus 'eIDAS critical'). Building on our 2017 work of portable trust using fingerprints. Use open biometrics and open face recognition. Scientific solution: on the Trustchain genesis block you self-publish you biometric hashes, web-of-trust is build by others verifying your genesis block, government can also verify your {cancelable} biometrics (GDPR proof, eIDAS high, EBSI compatible).
  • scalability devise a Bitcoin ScalabilityDAO. Horizontal scaling of transaction rate using Taproot, Schnorr, and FROST (token-free). Decentral Bitcoin L2 using Trustchain.
  • Digital Euro
• DAO technology (DelftDAO,MusicDAO)
  • Blockchain-based music generation (MuseGAN, Magenta, Pachyderm) and use crowdsourcing to filter quality and re-invest in community (Botto is great example)
• Applications
  • Non-core: integration with federated machine learning
  • Medical, harbour, TNO, energyCoins, etc.
  • DeFi
