With the recent announcement of surpassing one million developers in its community, EasyA, the world’s leading Web3 education app, is set to embark on its Polkadot education campaign to take advantage of this milestone.
The platform has become an essential starting point for builders in the industry, providing education and empowering developers to create decentralized apps (dApps) and foster thriving Web3 communities.
According to Phil Kwok, CEO and co-founder of EasyA, the influence of the platform extends beyond education. Several prestigious venture capital firms, such as Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), Founders Fund, and Y Combinator, have invested in the winners of EasyA’s hackathons, who are now valued at over $2.5 billion.
Notable success stories include startups like MintStars, a content platform with minimal censorship that allows artists and fans to earn money through resales. Axal, an intent coordination network enabling autonomous Web3 systems, and Cognition, an applied AI lab developing comprehensive software agents.
To capitalize on this momentum, EasyA aims to educate over 40,000 developers on creating dApps on Polkadot and its parachains through the #180DaysofPolkadot campaign. Developers will have the opportunity to gain hands-on experience with coding, deploying smart contracts, and contributing to open-source projects on GitHub by undertaking intermediate to advanced in-app tasks.
The campaign will culminate in two major hackathons focused on Polkadot, taking place in London (July 20-21) and Harvard (July 27-28), where approximately 100 projects will be launched. The top 500 developers will receive invitations to participate in in-app challenges.
Regarded as one of the most extensive developer education initiatives in the history of blockchain, #180DaysofPolkadot has attracted tens of thousands of developers who have completed crash courses and built dApps aimed at resolving critical industry challenges in EasyA’s previous hackathons.
