This marks the inception of the pioneering university dedicated to shaping the future of blockchain development and nurturing the next wave of innovators in the space. Alumni from EasyA have successfully launched ventures with a staggering over $2.5 billion valuation. The EasyA x Polkadot University initiative is set to usher in a new generation of founders into the Polkadot ecosystem, empowering them to launch their innovative projects on this cutting-edge platform.
With a robust community of 1 million users diving into blockchain education through the EasyA app and thousands of developers participating in EasyA hackathons globally, the platform is poised to elevate its educational initiatives to unprecedented heights. The EasyA x Polkadot University aims to harness the abundant talent found in academic institutions, channeling it towards the growth and innovation of the Polkadot ecosystem.
The University is set to empower students through workshops, hackathons, and demo days, all aimed at deepening their understanding of Polkadot and facilitating the launch of innovative projects within its ecosystem.
“EasyA has a proven track record of nurturing founders who go on to found leading projects, backed by top VCs like a16z, YC and Founders Fund. The EasyA x Polkadot University is all about inspiring the next wave of those founders to launch their projects on Polkadot.” said Phil Kwok, CEO and Co-Founder of EasyA.
EasyA organizes 1-2 in-person hackathons monthly across major global hubs, from San Francisco to London to Singapore and beyond. These hackathons draw in elite talent eager to create high-value startups and are set to become a fundamental cornerstone of the University.
 
Some of the most significant advancements in blockchain technology have emerged from students’ minds. Take Vitalik Buterin, who left his studies behind to develop Ethereum, or Robert Habermeier, who was still a student when he departed from academia to bring Polkadot to life. EasyA is set to leverage its University to identify and cultivate the most promising founders globally, guiding them to succeed.
Phil and Dom Kwok, the visionary founders of EasyA, bring a rich tapestry of expertise in blockchain technology and business acumen. Embarking on their blockchain journey in 2013, they have witnessed firsthand what thrives and falters in this ever-evolving landscape over the last ten years. Phil, a prodigious talent from Cambridge University, achieved the remarkable feat of being one of the youngest individuals to navigate the New York bar exam successfully. Dom honed his skills at the prestigious Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, where he distinguished himself as a scholar. He then made his mark at Goldman Sachs before moving on to the influential private equity powerhouse, Blackstone.
The EasyA x Polkadot University marks a transformative moment in blockchain education, establishing a hub where the most innovative creators will shape the future of the internet.
