Abstract

Ovaj rad istražuje mogućnost primjene blockchain tehnologije i kriptovaluta u akademskom okruženju kroz razvoj FERcoin sustava. Cilj sustava je potaknuti studente na akademski razvoj i upoznavanje s blockchain tehnologijom putem sustava nagrađivanja. FERcoin je dizajniran kao digitalna valuta koja se može zamijeniti za materijalne vrijednosti, poput kave u kafiću, čime se osigurava njegova upotrebljivost i praktičnost. Rad pokriva izbor blockchain tehnologije i platforme, razvoj pametnog ugovora, implementaciju web aplikacije te sigurnosna rješenja potrebna za zaštitu korisnika i sustava. Također se razmatraju daljnje mogućnosti proširenja sustava i implementacije dodatnih funkcionalnosti. Predloženi sustav ispituje potencijal blockchain tehnologije u akademskom kontekstu i njezinu primjenjivost u stvarnim uvjetima.

Abstract (english)

This thesis explores the potential application of blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies in an academic environment through the development of the FERcoin system. The goal of the system is to incentivize students for academic development and introduce them to blockchain technology through a rewards-based system. FERcoin is designed as a digital currency that can be exchanged for tangible assets, such as coffee in a café, ensuring its usability and practicality. The paper covers the selection of blockchain technology and platform, smart contract development, web application implementation, and security solutions required to protect users and the system. Further possibilities for system expansion and additional functionalities are also considered. The proposed system examines the potential of blockchain technology in an academic context and its applicability in real-world use cases.
