Introducing EasyA x Polkadot University

Polkadot, the world’s leading blockchain education platform, is proud to announce the launch of EasyA x Polkadot University, the world’s first university focused on educating the next generation of blockchain developers.

EasyA graduates have already founded companies valued at over $250 million. EasyA x Polkadot University will invite the next wave of these founders into the Polkadot ecosystem and have them launch their projects on Polkadot.

Empowering the Next Generation of Blockchain Developers

With 10,000 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 education initiative to the next level.

EasyA x Polkadot University will leverage the breadth of talent within the university and focus this on the Polkadot ecosystem.

Hands-on Learning and Mentorship

Through a combination of workshops, hackathons, and demo days, the university will focus on educating students about Polkadot and helping them launch new projects within the ecosystem.

“EasyA has a proven track record of nurturing founders to launch major projects backed by top VCs 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.

Meet the Founders

EasyA founders Phil and Dom Kwok have extensive experience in both blockchain and business. Since starting their blockchain journey in 2013, the two have seen exactly what works and what doesn’t over the past decade.

Phil is a Cambridge University scholar and one of the youngest people to pass the New York State Bar Exam. Dom was educated at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, where he was also an academic, before working at Goldman Sachs and then private equity giant Blackstone.
