Your engineers serve as the architects of your clients' digital transformation journey. This proposal details a 3-Day Technical Deep Dive tailored explicitly for developers and technical architects. Moving past theoretical 'why' questions, the focus shifts to the practical 'how': designing decentralized ledgers, writing secure Smart Contracts for Supply Chain Finance (SCF) logic, and integrating these decentralized components with existing enterprise ERPs.

By the conclusion of this training, participants will achieve the following capabilities:

• Architect DLT Solutions: Differentiate between and choose the suitable Layer-1/Layer-2 platforms (such as Ethereum, Hyperledger Fabric, or Polygon) for enterprise SCF scenarios.
• Develop Smart Contracts: Code, compile, and deploy Smart Contracts (utilizing Solidity or Chaincode) to automate processes like factoring, invoice approvals, and settlements.
• Implement Tokenization: Utilize ERC-20, ERC-721, and ERC-1155 token standards to represent real-world assets, such as invoices and inventory, on-chain.
• Bridge Web2 & Web3: Design integration layers using Oracles (e.g., Chainlink) to retrieve off-chain data (such as logistics APIs) and trigger on-chain payments.
