Deep dive into smart contracts and blockchains

People have used smart contracts in - Supply chain and logistics for transparency in goods movement(Maersk). Trade finance to reduce the paperwork and to mitigate risks(American Express). The entertainment industry in safeguarding the intellectual property rights, revenue and royalties(TOKIT). The insurance for reducing the delay caused due to documentation and middle men(AXA). Smart contracts mainly eliminate the necessary paperwork and documentation needed either physically or digitally and also the time taken by intermediaries/administrators to process these documents.Though fairly new to the people it is being implemented at such a pace which makes it important to all of us to have basic knowledge. There will be live examples of the above and a few more interesting uses of this technique. Prior knowledge of blockchain,smart contracts and a basic overview of python is helpful but not necessary. We will also provide a Github repo with the code from the talk.
