In light of the recent announcement that its community has grown over one million developers, EasyA, the leading Web3 education app in the world, plans to begin its Polkadot education campaign to capitalize on this achievement.
The platform has grown to be a vital starting point for the industry’s builders, teaching and enabling developers to build decentralized apps (dApps) and foster vibrant Web3 communities.
Phil Kwok, CEO and co-founder of EasyA stated:
“Reaching one million developers is a testament to the insatiable appetite for Web3 education, and the incredible talent driving the industry forward. We are committed to providing the resources and guidance to help these brilliant minds shape the future of the internet.”
EasyA’s influence goes beyond the field of education; a number of prestigious venture capital companies, including Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), Founders Fund, Y Combinator, and others, have backed the winners of its hackathons, who are now valued at over $2.5 billion.
Startups like MintStars, a low-censorship content platform where artists and fans make money via resales, Axal, an intent coordination network enabling autonomous Web3 systems, and Cognition, an applied AI lab developing end-to-end software agents, are notable success stories.
With the goal of educating over 40,000 developers on how to create dApps on Polkadot and its parachains, EasyA is starting the #180DaysofPolkadot campaign to capitalize on this momentum. Developers may get hands-on experience with coding, deploying smart contracts, and contributing to open-source projects on GitHub by taking on intermediate to advanced in-app tasks.
The campaign will culminate in two big hackathons centered on Polkadot, held in London (July 20–21) and Harvard (July 27–28), where about 100 projects will be launched. 500 of the top developers will be invited to participate in in-app challenges.
#180DaysofPolkadot is considered to be one of the most widespread developer education efforts in blockchain history. Tens of thousands of developers have completed crash courses and built dApps targeted at resolving urgent industry pain points at EasyA’s prior hackathons.
