The final chapter of the $1M hackathon series has officially begun.
With $250K in prizes, $100K in additional funding, and a chance to join the OC Incubator (OC-I), this is the moment to build the future of on-chain education and EduFi.
Developers, educators, and innovators from 10+ countries are pushing the limits of decentralized education on EDU Chain, a Layer 3 blockchain on Arbitrum Orbit.
Backed by @HackQuest_, @opencampus_xyz, @riseinweb3, and @newcampushq, this hackathon is built to support builders driving Web3 learning forward.
We’ve officially kicked off Cohort 9 of OC-X, bringing together a new wave of founders shaping the future of education.
OC-X is built for education entrepreneurs to drive innovation and impact in the learning economy.
Over the next six weeks, founders will dive into workshops on DeFi, game-based learning, and achievement systems, exploring new ways to onboard learners—from K-12 to adult education—into Web3.
Their journey will culminate in the Council Pitch, where they’ll present to the OC-X Council for potential support and collaboration.
Powered by @NewCampushq, @AnimocaBrands, and @OpenCampus_xyz, this accelerator is designed to connect educators from Web2 and Web3 to make learning more accessible, fun and rewarding.
Join us on February 11th at 8:00 PM ET for a GWG x OC #APE_U Spaces on Entrepreneurship & ApeCoin.
We’ll explore what it takes to grow a Web3 brand, attract investment, and expand beyond blockchain—leveraging tools like MBA and ApeChain to scale impact.
Hosted by @AaronHaber & @wangzaobin with guest speakers @AllCityBAYC from APE_U, @17ikoola from @ApeBeverages, and @popilart from @theboredtea.
This session is packed with insights for founders looking to build and scale in the ApeCoin ecosystem.
