EasyA, the world’s leading blockchain education platform, is excited to announce the launch of the EasyA x Polkadot University. This groundbreaking university will be the first of its kind, with a primary focus on educating the next generation of blockchain developers. Notably, EasyA alumni have already established companies valued at over $2.5 billion. By introducing the EasyA x Polkadot University, the aim is to bring the next wave of these talented founders into the Polkadot ecosystem and encourage them to launch their innovative projects on Polkadot.
With over 1 million users actively learning about blockchain through the EasyA app and thousands of developers participating in EasyA hackathons worldwide, EasyA is now taking its educational initiatives to new heights. The EasyA x Polkadot University will tap into the vast talent pool within universities and channel it towards the development of the Polkadot ecosystem.
The University will provide students with workshops, hackathons, and demo days to educate them about Polkadot and assist them in launching their projects within the ecosystem.
“EasyA has a proven track record of nurturing founders who go on to establish leading projects, supported by renowned venture capital firms such as a16z, YC, and Founders Fund. The EasyA x Polkadot University aims to inspire the next generation of these founders to launch their projects on Polkadot,” said Phil Kwok, CEO and Co-Founder of EasyA.
EasyA currently organizes 1-2 in-person hackathons each month in major cities around the world, including San Francisco, London, and Singapore, attracting top talent interested in building high-value startups. These hackathons will now become a fundamental pillar of the University.
Historically, students have played a crucial role in driving breakthroughs in blockchain technology. Examples include Vitalik Buterin, who dropped out of school to create Ethereum, and Robert Habermeier, a student who left academia to build Polkadot. With the establishment of the EasyA x Polkadot University, EasyA aims to identify the world’s most talented founders and provide them with the necessary support to achieve success.
EasyA’s founders, Phil and Dom Kwok, possess a wealth of experience in both blockchain and business. They embarked on their blockchain journey in 2013 and have gained valuable insights into what works and what doesn’t over the past decade. Phil, a scholar at Cambridge University, became one of the youngest individuals to pass the New York bar. Dom, on the other hand, received his education at the prestigious Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania, where he was also a scholar. He subsequently worked at Goldman Sachs and the private equity giant Blackstone.
The launch of the EasyA x Polkadot University represents a new era in blockchain education, where the most skilled builders will shape the next phase of the internet.
