1/ Crypto still faces a massive education problem.

This Fall, we've welcomed many new freshmen to @StanfordCrypto, and many have asked me how to get started.

So we've put together a "Stanford Blockchain Reading List" on Crypto 101:

blockchain.stanford.edu/crypto101

2/ The reading list is primarily based on blog-post content we've published on the Stanford Blockchain Review, and intends on providing a crash-course overview of the most important topics in crypto

3/ We walk through 5 modules:

1 - Why Crypto? What is Web3 about?
2 - What do Crypto Apps look like in our daily lives?
3 - What does Decentralization look like? Case studies in DeFi, DePIN, and DAOs
4 - What infrastructure powers these apps?
5 - Where are we today?

4/ We hope that through this open-source resource, we can better inform the world on what crypto actually means, holding true to the @StanfordCrypto mission of bridging together education, research, and industry.
