# Building a trustful voting system on a blockchain


- **Date:** Thursday, Jul 18, 2024
- **Time:** 10:45–12:45 (120 min)
- **Room:** Workshop room M4 (40)
- **Event:** World Congress 2024

## Description

Within the last years distributed ledger technologies like Blockchain and Hashgraph have become a part of our modern world. But in the developer community not all people like this hype, and that technologies are often are seen as buzzwords for managers. Sadly some questionable use cases for NFTs has been pushed by the media and most people think NFT is synonymous with speculative PNGs like bored apes! 
To better understand these technologies and concepts, we want to develop smart contracts together. We will start with a “Hello World” example and then develop a fair & trustfull voting system step by step. We will not only learn how to create, compile and execute smart contracts in a decentralized way in a public ledger but also how to combine it with a web 2.0 application to create a frontend for our voting app.
