DESCRIPTION:This talk will provide an introduction to blockchain and Distri
 buted Ledger Technology (DLT). In 2009\, Bitcoin was launched as a peer-to
 -peer electronic cash. In 2015\, programmable blockchain/DLT infrastructur
 e projects such as Ethereum\, Hyperledger\, and R3 Corda were launched. Ov
 er the last decade\, blockchain/DLT field has evolved to encompass a colle
 ction of novel distributed computer network architectures implemented usin
 g consensus protocols and data structures. This talk will provide an overv
 iew of blockchain applications in startups\, enterprises\, and government 
 services. Further\, this talk will highlight various novel emerging use ca
 ses such as Decentralized Finance (DeFi)\, Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs)\, De
 centralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs)\, Play-to-Earn (P2E) games\, m
 etaverse\, and decentralized internet.\n\nSpeaker(s): Ramesh Ramadoss\, Ph
