This PyCon US talk explores practical blockchain applications by focusing on genuine problems this technology solves, avoiding hype and jargon. Learn when blockchain makes sense through Python-based examples using familiar libraries and patterns alongside lightweight Algorand blockchain tools. Discover how to implement trust in peer-to-peer payment systems for underbanked populations, create fractional ownership structures for previously illiquid assets, and develop self-sovereign digital identity systems that give users control over their credentials. Examine real production solutions currently deployed by companies, broken down into approachable, practical Python implementations. Gain a realistic understanding of blockchain as a targeted solution for specific challenges rather than a universal fix, expanding your technical toolkit with concrete, applicable knowledge.
