Web3 Engineering & Supply Chain Finance Architecture Training Course
Your engineers serve as the architects 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 go beyond explaining the "why" to focus 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 completion of this training, participants will be able to:
- Architect DLT Solutions: Differentiate between and choose the suitable Layer-1/Layer-2 solutions (Ethereum, Hyperledger Fabric, Polygon) for enterprise SCF use cases.
- Develop Smart Contracts: Write, compile, and deploy Smart Contracts (e.g., Solidity or Chaincode) that automate factoring, invoice approval, and settlement.
- Implement Tokenization: Engineer the ERC-20/ERC-721/ERC-1155 token standards to represent real-world assets (invoices/inventory) on-chain.
- Bridge Web2 & Web3: Design the integration layer using Oracles (e.g., Chainlink) to fetch off-chain data (logistics APIs) to trigger on-chain payments.
Format of the Course
- Interactive lecture and discussion.
- Extensive exercises and practice.
- Hands-on implementation in a live-lab environment.
