The blockchain domain is rapidly changing. Even those in a highly technical role must stay abreast of what is happening in the digital finance landscape as many FinTech companies are using and creating tools and services that are powered by blockchain. As a FinTech professional in these changing times, it's important to not only be aware of the advancements happening within the FinTech blockchain space, but to also understand the process for developing your very own blockchain.

This homework will be a two-part series:

1. Case study on a Canadian FinTech blockchain company
2. Develop your very own blockchain
