1. INTRODUCTION

I'm Dr H. D Nakum residing at Surat, Gujarat, India. I'm a TA- chemist by profession and working for a Maharatna company. We all know that how hard the pandemic hit us but I took it as a blessing because I have introduced myself to a new field of technology called Blockchain in the meantime. After that, I have read several books related to blockchain-backed cryptocurrency to enhance my knowledge.

2. Summary of your experience on Steem, and other blockchains, and other relevant off-chain experience or qualifications

1) STEEMIT - STEEM BLOCKCHAIN
I have been using the app Steemit built on the Steem blockchain since last April. I have been using the tools such as Steemworld, steemyy.com and Steemscan for tracking the activity on steem blockchain very easily. ​Initially, I used to procrastinate about writing homework in #cryptoacedemy but then words from @sapwood hit me hard and then I have finished all the ten beginners homework within a month. It was an amazing journey with the steemit platform so far and meanwhile, I have learned a lot about the type of consensus mechanism, types of wallet, types of blockchain, cryptography principles, hard fork, soft fork, DEX, CEX, and rug pulls by reading homework as well as some books.

2) PEAKED, ECENCY, SPLITERLANDS - HIVE BLOCKCHAIN
Same as Steemit, PeakeD is also a blogging platform build atom of the Hive Blockchain. I have been using a project such as ecency, peaked and splinterlands NFT games built atop of HIve Blockchain.

3) ACTIFIT- HIVE & STEEM BLOCKCHAIN
Actifit is mobile/ios app that rewards thier native token AFIT for the workout you do during the day. One can also post a blog about thier workout on both Steem and HIve Blockchain.

4) AXIE INFINITY, 1INCH, UNISWAP, BRAVE, PRESEARCH - ETHEREUM BLOCKCHAIN
I have quite a great experience of projects that are built at the top of the ethereum blockchain. There are several projects such as axie infinity, 1inch, uniswap, Brave browser, presearch that are very dear to me.

5) JUSTSWAP, SUN.IO, ZETHYR - TRON BLOCKCHAIN
I have experience with projects such as Justwasp, Sun.io, and the newer zethyr Defi built atop of Tron blockchain.

6) PANCAKESWAP, SCV.FINANCE- BSC BLOCKCHAIN
Nowadays, most of the new projects, be it NFT games, Defi, or NFT are being deployed on BSC due to thier low gas fees and convenience of using the BSC ecosystem.

7) TERRASWAP, ANCHOR PROTOCOL- TERRA BLOCKCHAIN
Terra blockchain and its ecosystem are believed to be one of the best blockchains ever exist due to its TerraUST stable coin. I have been keeping an eye on this project for three months and so far looks great. More new blockchains, such as Kadena, Kardiaa, Solana, and Algorand are on my radar and I'm learning more about their ecosystem by reading their whitepapers as well.

8) WALLETS & CEX
I have experience of using various wallets such as Metamask, Trust Wallet, Phantom, Terra station, Tronlink, Ronin, BSC wallet. I have been using CEX such as Binance, WazirX, Poloniex, Kucoin, Gate.io and Huobi Global.

3. A description of why you think you would be suitable to become a Steemit Crypto Professor (no more than 250 words)

As the crypto academy is looking forward to the recruitment of two or more professors, it will be my immense pleasure to be part of this. I consider myself the right candidate because of the following reasons.

• During my PhD programme, I have been taught to publish plagiarism free articles in some reputed international journals. Have a look visit. I do publish my plagiarism free content.

• I have great skill in making Graphics using Adobe illustrator and Canva. In most of my blogs, you will find an image that is made by me either with Adobe Illustrator or Canva.

• While publishing the weekly reports on #cryptoacademy - My Microsoft excel skill will make it eye-catching and easy to read.

• I am very passionate about learning Blockchain technology. I keep reading books related to Blockchain and many more are in queue to be read.

• I believe that Steem blockchain can only survive if the user (you and me) keeps powering up. Cashing out 50% is okay but powering up is more important for steem blockchain to survive in cut-throat competition. I have been supporting #club5050 and will insist every steem user do that.

• last but not least, as im working in the Shift duty pattern, I will be able to provide ample time for writing new homework lectures and grading them as soon as possible.

4. An outline of the topics you would cover in a sample 5 week course suitable for newcomers to the crypto world (no more than 500 words)

Many things are going on in my head but to be specific, my focus is always on some new development in the field of the blockchain world. Recently, many new blockchains have grabbed the attention of investors due to thier advanced use cases. If I have been given a chance I would love to prefer writing about some brand new projects such as Terra, Kadena, Kardiachain, Avalance, Algorand, and FTM.

I have made a list of Homework lectures im willing to write

HOMEWORK 1: TERRA BLOCKCHAIN
The basis of the Terra blockchain will be discussed in depth. The Defi protocols, NFT and NFT games will also be discussed in detail.

• Stable Coin UST, Luna Buring Algorithm, Luna Price Movement, Marketcap, Potential growth
• Discussing Consensus mechanism, Staking rewards,
• Terradrops - For Luna Stackers
• Details of Terra Station - Wallet
• Terra Finder - Block Explorer
• TerraSwap - DEX
• Loop Finance - DeFI & DEX
• Anchor Protocol - DeFi
• Mirro Protocol - DeFi

HOMEWORK 2: KARDIACHAIN

• Basic information, KAI price action, Future Perspective
• Cross-chain technology Discussion, Utilities
• Stacking KAI
• Details of Kardia Extension Wallet
• KAIDEX - DEX
• NFT Game - MyDEFIPET discussion

HOMEWORK 3: FANTOM (FTM)

• Basic information
• FTM token, Price Details
• Technology used to reach consensus
• Utilities, TPS

• Fwallet - Wallet
• FTM scan - Explorer

HOMEWORK 4: METHOD OF FINDING POTENTIAL/MOONSHOTS PROJECTS

• Project Detail
• Usecases
• Marketcap, Rank, Circulating supply
• Social media followers
• Telegram Discord channel
• Token Burning schedule
• Hype

HOMEWORK 5 CONSENSUS MECHANISM

• What is consensus?
• Type of Consensus
• Proof of Work (PoW)
• Proof of Stake (PoS)
• Proof of History (PoH)
• Proof of Authority (PoA)
• Delegated Proof of Stake (DPOA)
• Delegated Byzantine Fault Tolerance (dBFT)
• Proof of Identity (PoI)
• Proof of Activity (PoA)
• Proof of Elapsed Time

Numerous topics can be discussed in detail but I think the above will be more helpful to steemitians because they are pretty new blockchains. I would like to write a lecture on Avalanche, Algorand, VeChain, Zilliqa and Verasity (not a blockchain) if Given a chance.

5. links to the three best crypto-related posts you have made on Steem - ideally these should be Crypto Academy homework posts.

In session four, I had attended all the ten beginner's homework and had graded 95.7/100. I feel every homework was written passionately and therefore it is almost difficult to choose three out of it. I had written the blog summarizing all my ten beginner's homework visit.

As per my view, I have found these three homework as my best

Types of Blockchain: Homework s4 Task 5

Tron Blockchain: Homework s4 Task 1

Dapps : Homework s4 Task 8

Thank you for allowing me to apply for the recruitment of Steemit Crypto Academy Professor.Hope you enjoyed reading it
