|  | | Blockchain Basics & Getting Started | | A clear introduction to blockchain concepts, consensus (PoW/PoS), wallets, and Bitcoin, with interactive polls to anchor key ideas. | |  | | Frontier Theme #1: Restaking | | How restaking (e.g., via EigenLayer) allows reuse of staked assets to secure additional protocols, and why it concentrates smart‑contract, slashing, and liquidity risks. | |  | | Frontier Theme #2: Real‑World Assets (RWA) | | Tokenization of bonds, funds, and real estate: market size, realistic growth, and core constraints (regulation, legal enforceability, KYC/AML). | |  | | Institutions and Tokenization in Practice | | Case studies of initiatives such as large asset managers’ tokenized funds (e.g., BlackRock's BUIDL at ~$1.9B AUM) and major banks’ tokenization platforms (e.g., J.P. Morgan's newly launched My OnChain Net Yield Fund), with a focus on what is actually live today and what this means for mainstream adoption. | |  | | Risk Lenses and Implementation Workflows | | Key risk categories (smart‑contract exploits, oracle risk, impermanent loss, custody and oracle risk) and how audits mitigate them. A step‑by‑step workflow for evaluating and monitoring yield‑generating strategies. | |  | | Q&A and Closing | | Open discussion on adoption timelines and curated resources for technical, regulatory, and accounting deep‑dives. | | |
