Blockchain Architecture Training
We've been teaching hybrid blockchain systems since 2022, and honestly, the field has changed a lot since then. This program walks you through building cross-chain applications that actually work in production environments. Starting September 2025, we're running our next cohort in Taichung.

What You'll Actually Build
Most courses throw theory at you for weeks. We spend about 30% on concepts, then you're building things. Real projects that mirror what companies need right now—not toy examples that fall apart under scrutiny.
Cross-Chain Integration
You'll work with both public and private chains. We focus on Ethereum and Hyperledger because that's what Taiwan's fintech sector actually uses.
- Bridge architecture patterns
- Transaction verification methods
- State synchronization
- Security validation protocols
Smart Contract Development
Solidity and Chaincode aren't intuitive at first. We break down gas optimization and permission models through incremental builds.
- Writing efficient contracts
- Testing methodologies
- Upgrade patterns
- Common vulnerability fixes
Network Architecture
Setting up nodes, configuring consensus mechanisms, managing network topology. This module has the steepest learning curve.
- Node deployment strategies
- Consensus configuration
- Performance tuning
- Monitoring implementation
Data Privacy Implementation
Zero-knowledge proofs and private transactions sound abstract until you implement them. We use real compliance requirements from financial applications.
- Privacy-preserving techniques
- Confidential transactions
- Regulatory compliance patterns
- Audit trail design
Production Deployment
Moving from testnet to mainnet involves risk management you don't learn in tutorials. We cover migration strategies based on actual projects.
- Deployment pipelines
- Rollback procedures
- Load testing approaches
- Incident response planning
Integration Patterns
Your blockchain doesn't exist in isolation. You'll connect to existing systems, databases, and APIs while maintaining data integrity.
- API gateway design
- Legacy system bridges
- Event sourcing patterns
- Data consistency strategies
Program Schedule
We run intensive 16-week cohorts twice a year. Classes meet Tuesday and Thursday evenings, plus Saturday morning lab sessions. Most participants keep their day jobs during training.
Early Enrollment Period
We cap each cohort at 24 students to maintain quality interaction. Applications require a technical background check—not necessarily blockchain experience, but you should be comfortable with backend development concepts and basic cryptography.
Foundation Phase
First six weeks cover distributed systems fundamentals and blockchain architecture. If you've never worked with consensus algorithms before, expect to spend extra time here. We provide additional resources, but you'll need to put in the hours.
Hands-On Development
Mid-program is where theory meets practice. You'll deploy your first smart contracts, set up private chains, and start building cross-chain bridges. Most debugging happens during Saturday lab sessions with instructor support.
Final Integration
Last month focuses on your capstone—a production-ready hybrid blockchain application. Previous projects have included supply chain trackers, digital identity systems, and cross-border payment platforms. You'll present to local tech companies in February 2026.
Program Instructors
Our teaching team combines academic research with hands-on industry experience. They've built systems that process real transactions, not just academic proofs-of-concept.
Riku Laaksonen
Systems Architecture LeadRiku spent eight years building financial infrastructure before shifting to blockchain work in 2019. He designed the cross-chain settlement system for a major Taiwanese bank—experience that shapes his teaching approach. Expect rigorous technical standards and detailed code reviews.
Vesna Todorović
Smart Contract SpecialistVesna's background in security research makes her particularly good at teaching defensive programming. She discovered vulnerabilities in three major DeFi protocols and now focuses on helping developers avoid those mistakes from the start. Her module on contract security is mandatory.
Hamish Galbraith
Infrastructure EngineerBefore joining us, Hamish ran node infrastructure for a crypto exchange processing 50,000 transactions daily. He knows every failure mode you'll encounter in production—and teaches you how to plan for them. His Saturday labs focus on performance optimization and monitoring.
Eleri Vaughan
Integration ArchitectEleri specializes in connecting blockchain systems to existing enterprise infrastructure. She's integrated blockchain layers into ERP systems, payment processors, and legacy databases. Her real-world case studies come from projects in Taiwan's manufacturing and logistics sectors.
