We'll cut through the jargon and focus on when blockchain makes sense and when it doesn't.</p> <p>Everything we build will use Python, using libraries and patterns you already know, plus a few lightweight tools to interact with the Algorand blockchain.</p> <p>We'll work through hands-on examples: coding trust into peer-to-peer payment systems for underbanked regions, building fractional ownership for previously illiquid assets, and creating self-sovereign digital identity systems that empower users with ownership of their credentials. These aren't hypotheticals—companies are running these solutions in production today, and we'll break down how they do it.</p> <p>Expect a session that meets you where you are: practical, approachable, and 100% Python. By the end, you'll see where blockchain fits into your toolkit—not as a magic bullet, but as a practical option for specific, thorny problems.</p> Gabriel KuettelThu, 15 May 2025 00:00:00 +0000tag:pyvideo.org,2025-05-15:/pycon-us-2025/real-world-problems-blockchain-actually-solves-and-how-to-code-them-in-python-sponsor-algorand.htmlPyCon US 2025
