The goal of this first workshop in the Game of Blockchain sequence is to provide you with a basic knowledge of the blockchain technology, enough to be able to navigate yourself through the new web3-ecosystem and experiment with different (decentralized) apps.

You will learn the following:

Theory: Intro to blockchain technology, etherscan and why there are so many tokens
