EasyA Becomes Key Platform for Polkadot Developer Education Following 1 Million Downloads Milestone

EasyA, the premier Web3 education app, is thrilled to reveal that it has achieved over one million downloads on iOS and Android devices. This milestone highlights EasyA’s swift ascent in popularity over recent years, as it has rapidly captivated the attention of developers and crypto enthusiasts alike. Today, more than 100,000 developers have engaged with Polkadot through EasyA.

Established in 2020 by siblings Phil and Dom Kwok, EasyA has rapidly emerged as the premier platform for novice and seasoned developers eager to explore and create on top of the most prominent blockchains, including Polkadot and beyond. For numerous blockchains, EasyA has emerged as the premier platform for developers to discover insights about their technology. It’s rapidly emerging as a leading catalyst for developer engagement across these blockchain networks.

“Hitting 1 million downloads underscores just how popular EasyA’s become. But it’s not only developers who are loving EasyA. Blockchains do too. Demand for EasyA has absolutely blown us away. We currently have a waitlist of 12 months for new chains looking to launch on EasyA.” said Phil Kwok, CEO and Co-Founder of EasyA.

Industry visionaries have drawn parallels between EasyA’s mobile strategy for mastering Web3 and Duolingo’s revolutionary impact on the language learning landscape. Interestingly, a prominent member of the Polkadot community recently described EasyA as “Duolingo, but twice as good.” The leading developers globally are enthusiastic about EasyA. Students from prestigious institutions globally, including Harvard and Cambridge, attribute their initial interest in Web3 to EasyA.

“I tried learning Web3 by going to workshops or online bootcamps but always lost interest quickly. With EasyA, it’s so easy to learn about any chain I want, whenever I want. As soon as a new challenge drops in the app, I’m always one of the first to try and complete it, even if it sometimes means being late to lectures. Oops!” – Alexandra, Harvard junior and proud EasyA community member.

EasyA transcends the realm of a typical viral app; its influence is palpable not only in the digital landscape but also in real-world interactions. At any EasyA hackathon across the globe, one of the initial scenes frequently observed is the extensive queues of developers winding around the block, occasionally forming hours ahead of the event’s commencement. The enthusiasm among these developers to launch their startups on-chain or connect with EasyA’s dynamic founders generates an electrifying atmosphere reminiscent of a concert crowd. This summer, close to 1,000 developers engaged in EasyA’s Polkadot hackathons, culminating in the launch of 111 startups on the Polkadot network. During the CoinDesk Consensus conference in Austin, where Polkadot took center stage as a primary sponsor, EasyA assembled an unprecedented gathering of developers, marking a historic milestone at the world’s largest blockchain conference. More than 100 startups emerged from that event, with numerous ventures now successfully attracting funding to advance their innovative concepts.

EasyA has been a game-changer for numerous founders, with its hackathon victors successfully securing funding from top-tier VCs such as a16z, Founders Fund, and others. A winner from the EasyA hackathon recently established Cognition AI, a unicorn with a valuation exceeding $2 billion. With these achievements in the rearview mirror, it’s clear why the appetite for EasyA hackathons has surged, leading the platform to host 1-2 of these events each month.

Despite EasyA’s impressive achievements, founders Phil and Dom emphasize that it’s still just the beginning for this rocketship startup. Later this year, EasyA is set to unveil its fund aimed at investing in startups established by its community members, which currently boasts a valuation exceeding $2.5 billion. They’ve initiated their foray into Asia, the continent boasting the largest population on the planet. There’s no doubt about it. With EasyA at the forefront, the vision of Web3 is transforming from a mere concept into a tangible reality.
