À propos de ce cours : This fourth course of the Blockchain specialization provides learners with an understanding of the broader blockchain ecosystem. Learners are introduced to other blockchain platforms, details of two decentralized application use cases, and challenges such as privacy and scalability. They are prepared to discuss permissioned blockchain architectures of Hyperledger and Microsoft Azure's blockchain as a service model and analyze the Augur and Grid+ decentralized application platforms. Course material includes emerging alternative decentralization models such as IPFS and Hashgraph, challenges in broader blockchain adoption, and continuous improvement solutions.
Les destinataires de ce cours : This course is for anyone interested in a broad overview of the fervent developments taking place in the blockchain landscape, the practical applications that illustrate unique features of blockchain technology – namely decentralization, disintermediation and distributed immutable ledger – and approaches for ongoing improvements in privacy and scalability. It provides learners with an opportunity to learn about the permissioned blockchain in Hyperledger Fabric, the samples of the disruptive Dapps in energy retailer (Grid+) and prediction markets (Augur) and other decentralized developments in IPFS and Hashgraph that may help enrich the blockchain technologies. Review of the content of the first course (Blockchain Basics), second course (Smart Contracts), and third course (Decentralized Applications) of this specialization are prerequisites.

Notation et examens
Excellent Course. Love this one.
A lot of material got cramped into Week 4. A more balance work load would be better.
The course would benefit from more (animated) visualisations on the Hashgraph rather than speech only. Also, please add an exercise involving Hashgraph.

Thank you very much.
It is my first time to learn this lesson. And it is very important for me to open my eye and get know the advanced technologies. In the future, i will take more time and effort to practice again and again.(Actually, i still cannot open my ipfs files and run it successfully.)
