Consulting, Research, and Professional Training on Blockchain Protocols, Cryptoassets, and their use in finance. With a focus on technical and legal aspects, we develop prototypes, organize corporate trainings and events with leading institutions in higher education, public institutions, corporate and startups.

Courses "Economy and Technology of Blockchains" and "Crypto Industry and Public Policies" for the specialized master "Finance Technology Data". The first course covers an initiation to cryptography, networks, consensus algorithms, Smart Contracts, token standards and platforms. It combines explanations, an hands on approach with accessible Python scripts and academic exercices such as a literature review on a related topic. The second course focuses on policy questions and regulation with a pedagogy centered on student-led exercises.
