DESCRIPTION:   'Title: Cryptocurrency Design from Scratch\n   Tags: Cryptoc
 urrency Village | Creator Workshop\n   When: Sunday\, Aug 9\, 10:00 - 11:5
 9 PDT\n   Where: LVCCW Level 1 Hall 2 702 (Cryptocurrency Village) - [1]Ma
 p\n\n   Description:\n\n   Most people use blockchains. Few understand wha
 t's underneath. In this\n   hands-on workshop\, you'll build two cryptocur
 rencies from the ground\n   up — a Layer 1 chain in Python and a Layer 2
  token ecosystem in\n   Solidity — and immediately turn that builder kno
 wledge into attacker\n   intuition.\n\n   Developers\, security researcher
 s\, financial analysts\, and curious\n   hackers with basic Python familia
 rity will benefit most. Solidity\n   experience is helpful but not require
 d. Bring a portable computer with\n   Python 3.10+ installed.\n\n   Build 
 and Break\n\n   Layer 1 — Python (First Hour) Starting from scratch\, yo
 u'll\n   implement a working blockchain: consensus logic\, transaction\n  
  validation\, peer primitives\, and a minimal node. As each component\n   
 goes up\, we'll stress-test it — examining double-spend vectors\,\n   ch
 ain reorganization attacks\, and the gaps that emerge when\n   cryptograph
 ic assumptions are made carelessly.\n\n   Layer 2 — Solidity (Second Hou
 r) On top of that foundation\, you'll\n   deploy smart contracts represent
 ing a Layer 2 token system — the\n   kind that underpins real DeFi proto
 cols today. We'll instrument the\n   contracts for auditability\, then wal
 k through the classic offensive\n   playbook: reentrancy\, integer overflo
 w/underflow\, access control\n   failures\, and oracle manipulation. You'l
 l exploit contracts you just\n   wrote\, which makes the lessons stick.\n\

 \n   Georgia Tech\, he is also working at a software company on crypto\n  
  adoption and ease of use. With a unique blend of HW and SW skills\,\n   P
