EasyA Unveils EasyA x Polkadot University the Premier Institution Dedicated to Blockchain Education Worldwide
San Francisco, USA – September 24th, 2024 – Chainwire: EasyA, the leading blockchain education platform, is thrilled to announce the introduction of EasyA x Polkadot University. This groundbreaking institution will be the world’s first university dedicated to educating the future generation of blockchain developers. Notably, graduates of EasyA have already established companies valued at over $2.5 billion. The EasyA x Polkadot University aims to bring the next wave of these innovative founders into the Polkadot ecosystem, empowering them to launch their projects on Polkadot.
With one million users currently learning about blockchain through the EasyA app and thousands of developers attending EasyA hackathons worldwide, EasyA is now raising the bar for its educational initiatives. The EasyA x Polkadot University will tap into the immense talent pool within universities and focus on the development of the Polkadot ecosystem.
By combining workshops, hackathons, and demo days, the university will provide students with a comprehensive education on Polkadot and guide them in launching new projects within the ecosystem.
Phil Kwok, CEO and Co-Founder of EasyA, stated, “EasyA has a proven track record of nurturing founders who go on to establish leading projects, with the support of top venture capital firms such as a16z, YC, and Founders Fund. The EasyA x Polkadot University is all about inspiring the next wave of these founders to launch their projects on Polkadot.”
Currently, EasyA organizes 1-2 in-person hackathons every month in major cities worldwide, including San Francisco, London, and Singapore, attracting top talent eager to build high-value startups. These hackathons will now serve as a central pillar of the university.
Historically, students have played a pivotal role in driving breakthroughs in blockchain technology. Vitalik Buterin, who dropped out of university to create Ethereum, and Polkadot’s Robert Habermeier, who began building Polkadot while still a student, exemplify this trend. With its university, EasyA aims to identify the most talented founders globally and provide them with the necessary support to achieve success.
EasyA’s founders, Phil and Dom Kwok, possess extensive experience in both blockchain and business. Their journey into blockchain began in 2013, allowing them to witness firsthand what works and what doesn’t in the industry over the past decade. Phil, a scholar at Cambridge University, is one of the youngest individuals to pass the New York bar. Dom, educated at the Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania, was also a scholar before working at Goldman Sachs and later at the private equity giant Blackstone.
The EasyA x Polkadot University ushers in a new era for blockchain education, serving as a hub where the most talented builders will shape the next phase of the internet.
