EasyA Unveils EasyA x Polkadot University: The First University Dedicated to Blockchain Education

San Francisco, United States, September 24th, 2024

EasyA, a leading blockchain education platform, is excited to announce the launch of EasyA x Polkadot University, the world’s first university entirely dedicated to educating aspiring blockchain developers. EasyA alumni have already established companies valued at over $2.5 billion, and this new initiative aims to cultivate the next cohort of founders who will thrive within the Polkadot ecosystem.

With a current user base of 1 million individuals learning about blockchain through the EasyA app and thousands of developers participating in EasyA hackathons globally, the platform is enhancing its educational offerings. EasyA x Polkadot University will harness the extensive talent available in universities and channel that into the Polkadot network.

By offering a diverse range of workshops, hackathons, and demo days, the university will aim to educate participants about Polkadot while supporting them in launching innovative projects within the ecosystem.

"EasyA has established a strong record of nurturing founders who go on to lead successful projects, backed by top venture capital firms. The EasyA x Polkadot University is dedicated to inspiring the next generation of creators to launch their initiatives on Polkadot,” said Phil Kwok, CEO and Co-Founder of EasyA.

At present, EasyA organizes 1-2 in-person hackathons each month in major cities worldwide, from San Francisco to London and Singapore, attracting talented individuals eager to develop high-impact startups. These hackathons will play a pivotal role in the university’s structure.

Significant advancements in blockchain technology have often stemmed from students, exemplified by figures like Vitalik Buterin and Robert Habermeier, both of whom transitioned from academia to entrepreneurship. With this new university, EasyA aims to identify and nurture the brightest founders globally.

Phil and Dom Kwok, the founders of EasyA, bring extensive experience in blockchain and business. Their journey began in 2013, allowing them to gain valuable insights into the industry. Phil is a scholar from Cambridge University and one of the youngest to pass the New York bar exam, while Dom attended the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania and has held positions at Goldman Sachs and Blackstone.

The launch of EasyA x Polkadot University marks a transformative moment in blockchain education, positioning itself as a hub for innovative builders who will help shape the next chapter of the internet.
