The first session of our Blockchain Bootcamp, led by Gaus Peerzade and organized by the PICT ACM Student Chapter, was a great success with over 50 enthusiastic attendees. The session provided valuable insights into blockchain fundamentals, consensus mechanisms like Proof of Work and Proof of Stake, and key platforms such as Bitcoin and Ethereum. It also explored Layer 1 and Layer 2 solutions, along with concepts like account and chain abstraction.
