This is a great course if you are a seeking a deeper understanding about Blockchain and its challenging. It is well structured and contains good presentations to help students understand the topics covered. It will give you a fundamental knowledge about the consensus problem and its role in Blockchain systems.

A course that teaches the link between the consensus problem and the blockchain.

A knowledge-intensive research-oriented course that brings together concepts of distributed computing to address blockchain consensus problems - mainly public and community blockchains. The instructor briefly brings in the discussion on the permissioned-blockchains as well.

This course has helped me to grasp the fundamentals of blockchain and how it is related to the theory of distributed systems. The worked examples in the lectures were very useful in solidifying my understanding and the course content was laid out in a logical progression.

Very detailed and difficult, well explained , quizes are challenging

New technology that it people need to know about block chain.

Finally, something else than Bitcoin...

While it is a great learning experience, I would recomend adding some further details / explaination on algorithms, specially EIG, DBFT, BCA and BVBA in video format.

The foundational elements of this course were indeed useful, however the wk3 dive into symbols and algorithms through me for a bit of a loop. Got there in the end.

I'm sorry, but as a business management student without IT background, I rather say that the language is a little bit to hard, especially in the formulas mentioned in Module 3. Hopefully, we can doing real practicum how to make blockchain and cryptocurrency.

This is not even for beginners , it directly take you for consensus with basic understanding of blockchain it goes through consensus pseudo code also how its for beginners and its total to 1 hour even less

Hi, First of all, I extend my gratitude to Prof. Vincent Gramoli for presenting this course to gain much-needed insights into distributed computing at a time that was very essential to me to gain knowledge to support my individual research on blockchain. The content is clearly presented with extra reading which was very helpful. Clear structuring of the course makes any new learner understand and catch up with distributed computing on blockchain. Also, thank you for making this presentation freely available. I highly recommend this course to any person at any age level who would want to gain insights into blockchain! Best Regards, Sasanka S.

I am appreciated that Professor Vincent Gramoli prepare this course for us to gain much-needed insights into distributed computing. It was very essential for me. The content is clearly presented and it was very helpful. Clear structuring of the course makes any new learner understand and catch up with distributed computing on blockchain. Also, thank you for making this presentation freely available. I highly recommend this course to students interested in blockchain!

The "Blockchain Scalability and its Foundations in Distributed Systems " course explains well in every aspects with diagrams and examples. I have learned more about distributed system challenges and solutions for them. Especially in blockchain use cases, really well explained. I am waiting next courses from University of Sydney which are related to blockchain. Thank you so much Vincent Gramoli for your great course.

Blockchain has grown rapidly in the last two decades after the immense success of public blockchain networks such as Bitcoin and Ethereum. However, it has not disrupted as many industries as was expected because of the fundamental issue of scalability, which has become a major concern, especially when applying blockchain to the real-world business environment.

"Thank you for the insightful course on blockchain scalability and distributed systems. As someone from a non-computer science background, some concepts were challenging, but your explanations made it more relatable. The focus on balancing efficiency and security was enlightening. Looking forward to applying these learnings. Much appreciated!"

This course very help full for me because currently doing research project in collage and work on blockchain scalability problem and its solutions

It great and gave awesome understanding of distributed systems and communication. However, this has prerequisites of blockchain knowledge.

This course is well explained and very useful for one who is at any level in the blockchain space.

Excellent content, delivering solid understanding of blockchain consensus

amazing useful course on Blockchain Scalability and its Foundations

Good content, nice quick quiz questions.

Instructor explain topics in simple ways

Very constructive course.
