EasyAThe world’s leading blockchain education platform, is proud to announce the launch of its EasyA x University. It will be the world’s first university focused on educating the next generation of blockchain developers. EasyA graduates have already founded companies valued at over $2.5 billion. EasyA x Polkadot University will introduce the next wave of these founders to the Polkadot ecosystem and have them launch their projects on Polkadot.
With over a million users already learning about blockchain through the EasyA app and thousands of developers participating in EasyA hackathons around the world, EasyA is now taking its educational initiatives to the next level. EasyA x Polkadot University will leverage the widespread talent across universities and focus it on the Polkadot ecosystem.
Through workshops, hackathons, and demo days, the university will focus on educating students about Polkadot and helping them launch recent projects in the ecosystem.
“EasyA has a proven track record of nurturing founders who go on to launch leading projects backed by top venture capitalists like a16z, YC, and Founders Fund. EasyA x Polkadot University aims to inspire the next wave of these 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, 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 of college to create it, and Polkadot’s Robert Habermeier, who was just a student when he left academia to build Polkadot. Through his university, EasyA will focus on finding the world’s most talented founders and mentoring them on their path to success.
EasyA founders Phil and Dom Kwok have extensive experience in both blockchain and business. Having started their blockchain journey in 2013, they have seen exactly what works and what doesn’t over the past decade. Phil was a fellow at Cambridge University and was one of the youngest people to ever pass the New York Bar exam. Dom was educated at the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania, where he was also a fellow, before working at Goldman Sachs and then at private equity giant Blackstone (NYSE:).
EasyA x Polkadot University is ushering in a recent era of blockchain education: a place where the world’s best creators will build the next phase of the internet.
