San Francisco, United States, September 24th, 2024, Chainwire
EasyA, the world’s leading blockchain education platform, proudly announces the launch of its EasyA x Polkadot University. This will be the world’s first university focused on educating the next generation of blockchain developers. EasyA alumni have already founded companies valued at over $2.5 billion. The EasyA x Polkadot University will bring the next wave of these founders into the Polkadot ecosystem and get them launching their projects on Polkadot.
With 1 million users already learning about blockchain via the EasyA app and thousands of developers attending EasyA hackathons around the world, EasyA is now taking its educational initiatives to the next level. The EasyA x Polkadot University will leverage the widespread talent within universities and focus this on the Polkadot ecosystem.
Through a combination of workshops, hackathons and demo days, the University will focus on educating students about Polkadot and helping them launch new projects in the ecosystem.
“EasyA has a proven track record of nurturing founders who go on to found leading projects, backed by top VCs like a16z, YC and Founders Fund. The EasyA x Polkadot University is all about inspiring the next wave of those founders to launch their projects on Polkadot.” said Phil Kwok, CEO and Co-Founder of EasyA.
EasyA currently hosts 1-2 in-person hackathons per month in major cities around the world from San Francisco to London to Singapore and beyond, attracting top talent looking to build high-value startups. These hackathons will now be a core pillar of the University.
The biggest breakthroughs in blockchain have been driven by students, like Vitalik Buterin who dropped out to create Ethereum, and Polkadot’s own Robert Habermeier who was just a student when he stepped away from academia to build Polkadot. With its University, EasyA will focus on finding the world’s most talented founders and nurturing them to success.
EasyA’s own founders, Phil and Dom Kwok, have a wealth of experience in both blockchain and business. Having started their journey into blockchain in 2013, they have seen precisely what works and what doesn’t over the past decade. Phil was a scholar at Cambridge University, and was one of the youngest people ever to pass the New York bar. Dom was educated at the Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania, where he was also a scholar before working at Goldman Sachs and subsequently the private equity giant Blackstone.
The EasyA x Polkadot University ushers in a new era for blockchain education: a place where the world’s best builders will create this next phase of the internet.
