Your engineers are the architects of the digital transformation journey for your clients. This proposal outlines a 3-Day Technical Deep Dive designed specifically for developers and technical architects. We move beyond the "why" and focus on the "how": how to architect decentralized ledgers, how to write secure Smart Contracts for Supply Chain Finance (SCF) logic, and how to integrate these decentralized layers with existing enterprise ERPs.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Architect DLT Solutions: Distinguish between and select the appropriate Layer-1/Layer-2 solutions (Ethereum, Hyperledger Fabric, Polygon) for enterprise SCF use cases.
• Develop Smart Contracts: Write, compile, and deploy Smart Contracts (e.g., Solidity or Chaincode) that automate factoring, invoice approval, and settlement.
• Implement Tokenization: Engineer the ERC-20/ERC-721/ERC-1155 token standards to represent real-world assets (invoices/inventory) on-chain.
• Bridge Web2 & Web3: Design the integration layer using Oracles (e.g., Chainlink) to fetch off-chain data (logistics APIs) to trigger on-chain payments.
