Your First Step into Web3: Blockchain, Smart Contracts & Chainlink
Join us for a beginner-friendly introduction to Blockchain, Smart Contracts, and Chainlink, designed for students, developers, and Web3-curious builders. This session simplifies core Web3 concepts and helps you understand how decentralized applications work in the real world.
Starting with blockchain fundamentals, we’ll explore how smart contracts enable trustless systems and then dive into Chainlink, the infrastructure that connects blockchains with real-world data, automation, and cross-chain communication. The Chainlink session will be delivered virtually by a Chainlink Advocate, giving participants the opportunity to learn directly from an ecosystem expert. The event concludes with an interactive Q&A, open discussion, and networking over lunch.
No prior blockchain experience is required, just curiosity and a willingness to learn.

About Chainlink
Chainlink is the industry-standard oracle platform bringing the capital markets onchain and powering the majority of decentralized finance (DeFi). The Chainlink stack provides the essential data, interoperability, compliance, and privacy standards needed to power advanced blockchain use cases for institutional tokenized assets, lending, payments, stablecoins, and more. Since inventing decentralized oracle networks, Chainlink has enabled tens of trillions in transaction value and now secures the vast majority of DeFi.
Many of the world’s largest financial services institutions have also adopted Chainlink’s standards and infrastructure, including Swift, Euroclear, Mastercard, Fidelity International, UBS, ANZ, and top protocols such as Aave, GMX, Lido, and many others. Chainlink leverages a novel fee model where offchain and onchain revenue from enterprise adoption is converted to LINK tokens and stored in a strategic Chainlink Reserve. Learn more at chain.link.
