San Francisco, USA – September 24, 2024 – Chainwire
EasyA, the leading educational platform for blockchain, is excited to announce the launch of EasyA x Polkadot University, the world’s first university dedicated to educating the next generation of blockchain developers. With a track record of producing successful founders who have created companies valued at over $2.5 billion, EasyA x Polkadot University aims to bring forth the next wave of talented individuals into the Polkadot ecosystem, empowering them to launch their projects on Polkadot.
With over 1 million users already learning about blockchain through the EasyA app and thousands of developers participating in EasyA hackathons worldwide, EasyA is now taking its educational efforts to the next level. EasyA x Polkadot University will harness the vast talent pool within universities and focus it on the Polkadot ecosystem.
The University will provide workshops, hackathons, and demo days to educate students about Polkadot and assist them in launching new projects within the ecosystem.
“EasyA has a proven track record of nurturing founders who go on to create successful projects, supported by top venture capital firms such as a16z, YC, and Founders Fund. EasyA x Polkadot University aims to inspire the next generation of founders to launch their projects on Polkadot,” said Phil Kwok, CEO and Co-Founder of EasyA.
Currently, EasyA hosts 1-2 in-person hackathons every month in major cities around the world, including San Francisco, London, and Singapore, attracting top talent seeking to build high-value startups. These hackathons will now play a central role in the University.
Many significant advancements in blockchain technology have been driven by students, such as Vitalik Buterin, who dropped out to create Ethereum, and Polkadot’s own Robert Habermeier, who left academia as a student to build Polkadot. With the establishment of EasyA x Polkadot University, EasyA will focus on identifying the world’s most talented founders and nurturing them towards success.
EasyA’s founders, Phil and Dom Kwok, possess extensive experience in both blockchain and business. They embarked on their blockchain journey in 2013, gaining valuable insight into what works and what doesn’t over the past decade. Phil, a Cambridge University scholar, became one of the youngest individuals to pass the New York bar exam. Dom, an alum of the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania, worked at Goldman Sachs before joining the private equity firm Blackstone.
The launch of EasyA x Polkadot University ushers in a new era for blockchain education – a platform where the best builders in the world will shape the next phase of the internet.
