Hello everyone! My name is Mihajlo, and over the past six months as part of my Next Billion Fellowship, I’ve been working to bring the benefits of Web3 to the World Scouting Movement.

I would say it’s because of technology and the scouting movement that I…

Understanding Blockchain Basics Before diving into blockchain, it helps to grasp the core concepts. Imagine a ledger where transactions are recorded, but unlike traditional ledgers, this one is decentralized—meaning it’s not controlled by a single entity like a bank. Instead, transactions are verified and secured through cryptography by multiple computers (nodes) on a network. This makes it nearly impossible to tamper with entries, ensuring transparency and trust. Blockchain powers cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin but is far more versatile, with applications in supply chain management, healthcare, voting systems, and more. Its key features include immutability (transactions can’t be altered), transparency (data is…
